Elin Nordegren's twin sister has moved out of Tiger Woods' Windermere mansion -- and is back home to London.
Josefin Lonnborg, who's a lawyer in the UK, was seen out lunching with a few work buddies yesterday.
Josefin and her mother had moved in with Elin after Tiger's "transgressions" first came to light.
Still no word on where Tiger is livin' these days.

While Tiger Woods is losing sponsors left and right, TMZ has learned his wife, Elin Nordegren, is "very close" to signing a deal of her own ... and the company happens to be Nike's archenemy -- Puma.
An official from Puma -- the athletic wear company -- has confirmed they are in "internal discussions" to sign Elin as a spokesperson for a new Swedish-inspired clothing line called Tretorn.
The rep tells us Puma is after Elin because they feel she's "a good brand fit."
We could not reach Elin for comment.

Elin Nordegren withstood a barrage of harsh questions by a paparazzo (not ours) on her way out of a Thai restaurant near her home in Windermere today.
Elin was holding her baby as the photog unrelentingly questioned her about Tiger Woods' affairs, mistresses, divorce options ... before someone finally said, "How about something nice like, 'how are you holding up?"

TMZ has finally obtained photos of the mysterious 4th Tiger Woods affairess -- Julie Postle -- and judging by her hair, skin color and liberal use of the tongue, she definitely seems to be Tiger's type.
Postle -- a VIP host at Roxy nightlcub in Orlando -- claims to have had a two year affair with the golfer during his marriage to Elin Nordegren.
And as we first reported, Postle also claims Tiger used to tell her that his marriage to Elin was purely "for publicity."

TMZ has just obtained photos of the $2 million Swedish home recently purchased by Elin Nordegren -- and, let's put it this way ... $2 mil doesn't get you much in Sweden.
There are conflicting reports about the purchase of the home. Some stories claim Elin and Tiger Woods began negotiations for the home back in August. Other reports claim Elin sealed the deal by herself at the beginning of the month.
The house sits on 59 acres. So maybe that explains the price.

"Saturday Night Live" joked about Tiger Woods being beaten by his wife Elin during a sketch on the show this weekend -- but the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence ... they ain't laughin'.
TMZ spoke with the organization's Executive Director Rita Smith, who told us she was "horrified" that SNL "made such a mockery of abuse."
During the sketch, Woods -- played by Kenan Thompson -- is visibly battered and holding up signs warning that Elin -- played by Blake Lively -- has beaten him.
During the show, the audience laughs, but Smith claims, "There's nothing funny about this story, particularly if violence was part of the events that took place ... I hope that SNL refrains from using this kind of skit in the future as it diminishes people's support for victims of domestic violence."

Tiger Woods found time in his self-imposed exile to reach out to the people who mean the most to him -- his sponsors.
Tiger dropped another note on to his website yesterday saying, "As the final round of the Chevron World Challenge begins, I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to everyone affiliated with the event, especially our amazing title sponsor, Chevron."
Tiger also thanked "all of our supporting sponsors" as well as the staff who worked on the event -- and then apologized to everyone saying, "I am so grateful to them for their efforts, and I am sincerely sorry I was unable to fulfill my duties as host and player in this important event."
Last week, Tiger used his website to offer his "profound apology" for his "transgressions" in the wake of that infamous car crash.

Before she inserted herself into the Tiger drama, Jaimee Grubbs inserted herself into a Tiger costume.
Back in 2005, Grubbs hit up a friend's Halloween party sporting the stripes, the ears, and of course, the ... tail.

Rachel Uchitel and lawyer Gloria Allred have complained the paparazzi have made it impossible for them to breathe because of the whole Tiger Woods thing. So what better place than Spago in Beverly Hills to spend a nice, quiet evening?
Oh, and what better way to make a stealth exit than feeding the photogs Wolfgang cookies?
Welcome to Hollywood, Rach. You're learning from the best.

Tiger Woods did not bleed in the vehicle he crashed Friday morning -- not a single drop -- according to law enforcement sources.
Cops from the Windermere PD, who first responded on scene, observed Tiger's lower lip split open and we're told he had other marks as well. But TMZ sources say there was absolutely no blood in the SUV.
What's more -- we've learned Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, told Windermere cops she smashed the back passenger window with the golf club, then unlocked the driver's door and dragged Tiger out. Yet there were no traces of blood.
This has created even more suspicion with law enforcement ... that Tiger's wounds may have not been the result of SUV meets fire hydrant.
We're told the Florida Highway Patrol has been frustrated by attempts to secure video of the accident. Even though we know there were surveillance cameras on Tiger's property, his lawyer isn't making video available. The people who manage the gated community have said they have no video of the crash.
As we first reported, the FHP sent troopers to the hospital where Tiger was treated yesterday in an attempt to secure medical records, which could unlock the mystery of how Tiger was injured. We're told, so far no luck. Although an FHP spokesperson has said the department has not asked for a search warrant to obtain medical records, we know they are pursuing that route.
As for what charges could be filed -- there are two possibilities on the table. The main focus now is Tiger's injuries. If the injuries have the markers of a domestic dispute, we're told Tiger's wife would almost certainly be arrested.
As for Tiger, troopers are looking at whether he was driving under the influence. As we have already reported, the paramedics on the scene saw that Tiger was unresponsive and asked Elin if he was taking any meds. She went inside, retrieved two prescription bottles and gave them to paramedics. Elin said she did not know when Tiger had last taken the meds. We already reported Tiger had told a friend he was taking prescription pain meds.
But in Florida, it's almost impossible to charge someone with DUI unless someone actually sees the suspect behind the wheel, driving the vehicle. No one has come forward saying they saw Tiger driving.
