Tiger Woods' family life is getting back to normal -- TMZ has learned the golfer has made it a whole week living under the same roof as his wife Elin Noredgren and their two kids.
Sources close to the family tell us Tiger's been staying with the family at their Isleworth estate for the past 8 nights -- and during that time, we're told Elin has been seen around town with a rejuvenated demeanor.
As for Tiger, he was practicing like a man possessed before the weather got bad -- but with the rain coming down for the past few days, he's been stuck indoors.
As we previously reported, Woods is expected to make his return to golf on March 22nd at the Tavistock Cup -- but word on the street is Elin is not expected to attend.

Elin Nordegren was not allowed to ride in the same ambulance as Tiger Woods after his November car crash because the ambulance crew thought it was a domestic violence incident, this according to new documents released by the Florida Highway Patrol.
The document, written by an FHP trooper who responded to the scene, reads, "As the paramedics loaded [Tiger] into a Health Central Ambulance, one of the crew stated that [Tiger's] wife could not go in ambulance because this was a domestic."
The document states that the officer "never heard [Tiger] speak or [Tiger's] wife make any such statement about domestic violence."
The docs also show Elin handed over two bottles of pain pills to troopers following Tiger's November 27 crash.

Tiger Woods has still not announced when he's returning to golf -- but TMZ has learned one upcoming tournament is beginning to make several mysterious arrangements ... arrangements that have Tiger's tracks all over them.
It's all connected to the Tavistock Cup -- an exclusive golf tournament scheduled to begin on March 22nd, which pits the Lake Nona Country Club against the Isleworth Country Club ... where Tiger is a member.
The famously private event is known for allowing fans to get up close and personal with the golfers -- but sources close to the tournament tell us management for the Isleworth Country Club, this year's home course, has suddenly decided to cut down on the number of passes given to Lake Nona employees.
We're told several staff members are being told the move is being orchestrated by Tiger's camp in an effort to control who will have access to the golfer when he makes his return.
We'll see if they're right in t-minus 10 days ...

Tiger Woods is reaching into George W. Bush's cabinet for help with his comeback -- the golfer has reportedly hired Dubya's former press secretary Ari Fleischer to help plan his return to golf.
According to the New York Post, Woods has been using Fleischer in strategy sessions in Tiger's Florida home -- with one meeting taking place earlier this week.
Fleischer has famously transitioned into a high-profile sports image consultant -- and has worked with icons like Mark McGwire and the Green Bay Packers.

Jamie Jungers is now the queen of the Tiger Woods mistresses -- which is kinda like being the thinnest kid at fat camp -- by winning Howard Stern's Mistress Beauty Pageant.
Jungers just took home the $75,000 prize after exposing a bunch of personal information about Tiger ... like the size of the club, what he wanted from her sexually speaking, and on and on.
Jungers had stiff competition -- Jaimee Grubbs and Loredana Jolie -- but was able to take home the crown, because Howard felt she was "the true mistress."
Of course, Grubbs losing a tooth didn't help her chances. But she did get a $15,000 runner-up prize -- more than enough for a dental visit.

Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses are finally getting a shot at that elusive diamond ring -- but this piece of jewelry doesn't exactly represent commitment ... it represents victory in Howard Stern's Mistress Beauty Pageant.
The official "Mistress Ring" is custom designed by Steven Singer Jewelers and features a 3-carat round black diamond in the center with another half carat in diamonds around it.
The ring -- the value of which remains undisclosed -- will be presented to the "Best Mistress" on March 10th along with 100,000 in cash prizes.
Good luck, "ladies."

Tiger Woods may have been an equal opportunity employer -- but an online bookmaker wasn't so kind in doling out odds for the winner of Howard Stern's Golf Mistress Beauty Pageant.
Even though Stern hasn't released the list of actual competitors yet, Sportsbook.com has already listed mistress #1 Rachel Uchitel among the least likely to take home Stern's prize ... but we're guessing it's because her cardboard cutout will be participating in her place.
Meanwhile, Cori Rist and Loredana Jolie are tied as favorites to club the competition. Some other notables include Holly Sampson -- a close 3rd -- followed by Jaimee Grubbs, Joslyn James, and Jamie Jungers in 4th, 5th, and 6th.
The pageant is scheduled to go full steam ahead on March 10th -- with the contestants clawing for a $100,000 prize.

Tiger Woods changed his cell phone number 5 times in the last year, this according to one of Tiger's fellow PGA golfers Mark Calcavecchia.
Calcaveccia told Golf.com, "I didn't really think about it, but in the course of last year he changed his number five times." He added, "The last time he did, I said, 'Man, you change phone numbers more than I change underwear.'"
Calcaveccia claims he and Tiger used to text message each other all the time back before the scandal broke -- but he hasn't heard back from Tiger since the infamous car crash.
There was one more interesting point -- Mark told the magazine, "I did know of a girl he was seeing in Phoenix ... But I didn't know the time frame." Mark concluded, "I didn't know if it was before or after he was married that he was with her. I knew it was close. It was 2004 sometime. I didn't think much of it then..."
FYI -- Tiger married Elin Noredegren in 2004 -- but they were engaged since 2003.

Tiger Woods just blew off a $75 million dollar endorsement offer from an Irish gambling company -- and that is how you know you're rich.
The company, PaddyPower.com, claims the deal would have spanned five years -- but Tiger just wouldn't take the bait.
Woods -- who was dumped by several major sponsors since the sex scandal broke -- will get another chance to change his mind ... Paddy claims it's planning to come back with an even sweeter offer in the near future.

Tiger Woods is golfing like a man possessed -- hitting ball after ball after ball at the golf course near his home in Isleworth ... and TMZ has obtained the first unstaged photos of Woods back in action.
Woods hit the course yesterday with two male companions and practiced his ass off from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM -- working on everything from drives to pitches and putts.
We're told Tiger's session was uninterrupted -- and he seemed completely focused throughout the entire grueling workout.
As we previously reported, sources in Isleworth tell us Tiger is dead set on competing for the Tavistock Cup -- which will be held at the same Isleworth golf course where he's practicing.
And with that news ... Phil Mickelson probably needs a fresh pair of undies.

Tiger Woods is another step closer to returning to pre-scandal life -- last night, Elin Nordegren and the kids spent the evening at their Isleworth mansion ... where Tiger has been living for the past few days.
Sources tell TMZ Elin and the kids arrived at the home yesterday afternoon with a security team in tow -- and this morning, the entire crew was still there.
We're told the move could be permanent -- after Elin arrived at the home yesterday, a large truck showed up and workers began moving stuff into the house.
As for Tiger -- we're told he's been at the range all morning working on his game ... paying special attention to his putts.

Tiger Woods' caddie claims he's "mad" at his boss and wants everyone to know that he didn't have a damn thing to do with Tiger's cheating ways.
Steve Williams -- Tiger's caddie for 11years -- told New Zealand's "60 Minutes" that the scandal has "been the most difficult time of my life, no two ways about it, because every single person believed that I should know or did know or had something to do with it."
Williams added, "I knew nothing, that's my answer. I don't have to clarify or extend that answer, I knew nothing." In fact, Williams claims he would have blown the whistle had he known what Tiger was up to.
Williams told the show that he's still furious with Tiger, saying "Of course I'm mad at him, why would you not be? I'm close with his wife and he's got two lovely children."
The caddie claims he's not turning his back on Tiger, adding "When you're a true friend of somebody, that's when somebody needs your support and need you the most. That's when you don't walk away. Tiger's one of my closest friends and he needs my support right now and I'd never think of walking away."

Tiger Woods was just forced to pack up his balls and leave the driving range ... our Isleworth spies tell TMZ.
Tiger was practicing his drives for about 20 minutes outside his home, but it started raining and forced him inside.
Tiger was accompanied by two dudes -- including Corey Carroll, the guy he was photographed jogging with last month -- but no sign of Elin Nordegren.
