Elin Nordegren -- Heading for Sweden?
Elin Nordegren is fixing up the house on her newly purchased property in her native Sweden -- proof that it may be the spot where Elin's headed to rebuild her life.
As we previously reported, Tiger Woods' current wife picked up the $2 million home late last year -- a home that could only be described as a dump, at best.
But now, new photos reveal that a major renovation is underway on the property -- and we're told the builders are trying to get everything done by the summer.
Tiger is scheduled to play the U.S. Open at the end of June -- seems the only way Elin will be watching is if they get cable in Sweden.

Grounded Tiger Banners -- Better Late Than Never
The mysterious banner attack on Tiger Woods continued in Augusta yesterday -- with a new cheap shot at Jesse James -- but it all went down 2 days after the intended target skipped town.
As TMZ first reported, the FAA grounded the plane after just 2 successful runs over the Masters golf tourney this past weekend -- leaving the remaining signs out of the sky.
But Tuesday, the unknown prankster behind the stunt got another plane up and running and sent his new messages up in the air -- one that read, "You knew Stevie. You knew" ... a reference to Tiger's caddy Steve Williams, who denied knowing anything about Tiger's affairs.
The other banner read, "Tiger: Still on for the 4some? Jesse James."
This ain't the last we're gonna see of the aerial attacks, we're told the prankster's already drawing up plans to get back in the air.

Big Ben -- Fired By Jerky Company
Ben Roethlisberger has just lost a major sponsor -- after his beef jerky company decided that the sexual assault investigation left a bad taste in the mouths of the consumers.
TMZ spoke with the people behind Big Ben's Beef Jerky, who tell us they've officially cut ties with the Pittsburgh Steelers QB -- which means production has been halted and all remaining product is to be "destroyed."
The jerky was produced by a company called PLB Sports -- the same group behind Doug Flutie's famous "Flutie Flakes" cereal. According to Ty Ballou -- president of PLB -- the company decided Ben was no Flutie ... and enforced the "morality clause" in Ben's contract.
Ballou added, "I hope he can learn from this."

Big Ben's Other Accuser: We're Not Giving Up!
Ben Roethlisbergerain't out of the woods in Georgia just yet -- TMZ has learned the lawyer for Ben's other alleged rape victim is planning to use the findings from the Milledgeville investigation in the one remaining case against the NFL star.
As we previously reported, Big Ben is accused in a lawsuit of raping Andrea McNulty in a Lake Tahoe hotel back in 2008. No criminal charges were ever filed.
According to McNulty's lawyer, Cal Dunlap, he is currently "seeking whatever portions of the Georgia investigation that are available" -- including interviews and police reports.
Dunlap also tells us they also expect to sit down and talk with the Steelers' QB in the near future -- but due to the fact that Ben wouldn't even talk to investigators in Georgia, a meeting with Dunlap seems highly unlikely.

Big Ben's Accuser: I Can't Handle the Media Blitz
Ben Roethlisberger's accuser urged officials to drop the sexual assault case against the NFL star partly because of the "extraordinary" media attention -- but she's still standing by her story.
The lawyer for the alleged victim sent a letter to District Attorney Fred Bright on March 17, in which he states, "a criminal trial would be a very intrusive personal experience ... given the extraordinary media attention that would be inevitable."
The letter continues, "This decision does not reflect any recanting of our client's complaint, but simply a realistic, personal decision as to what is in her best interests."
Earlier today, the D.A. announced that no criminal charges would be filed against Roethlisberger.

Ben Roethlisberger -- No Charges
Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged for sexual assault over an alleged incident on March 5 in Milledgeville, Georgia.
According to prosecutor Fred Bright -- the alleged victim wrote a letter on March 17, in which she stated that she no longer wanted to pursue the case.
During his investigation, Bright claims "everyone" agreed that both Ben and his accuser were highly intoxicated on March 5 when they went into the bathroom at Capital City nightclub.
Bright said there are still "significant questions about what occurred" in the bathroom ... but Ben will not be prosecuted.
Bright said after the alleged incident, the woman went to a local hospital where a doctor and two nurses examined her and found "a superficial laceration," bruising and bleeding in the genital area.
Bright said the woman told doctors "a boy kinda raped me" -- but Bright said the doctor could not definitively say if the woman's injuries were the result of a sexual assault.
Bright said Ben initially claimed that the woman fell and hit her head in the bathroom -- but after she arrived at the hospital, doctors found no trauma to the woman's head. After that, Bright says Ben's agent stepped in and said the quarterback wouldn't answer questions with an attorney present.
