ELIN Nordegren is single again after reportedly breaking up with billionaire boyfriend Christopher Cline.

The newly free ex-wife of Tiger Woods has fled to the Hamptons for a low-key weekend with her girlfriends, The New York Post reports.

“She flew in for just the weekend,” one insider said, adding, “She is single again and hotter than ever.”

Spies spotted the Swedish stunner and mother of two walking around with friends in Bridgehampton Friday afternoon. We’re told her weekend plans include “going to the beach, shopping and going to restaurants with her girlfriends.”

Nordegren, 34, had dated coal magnate Cline, 56, for over a year. The pair own palatial homes next door to each other in North Palm Beach. But friends say the two split after they “drifted apart.”

Nordegren received a $100 million divorce settlement from Woods after he cheated on her with dozens of women.

One friend explained, “They didn’t spend enough time together. He has a thriving business and has been travelling a lot.”

Cline is worth $US1.4 billion ($1.5 billion) according to Forbes. His company Foresight Energy owns mines in Illinois and northern Appalachia. He also owns a 164-foot yacht called Mine Games — which has its own submarine — and a ranch in West Virginia. He also has four children from two marriages. Golf champ Woods, meanwhile, is said to be worth $US1.3 billion (he also owns a yacht, the 155-footer Privacy).

And Nordegren, who earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology in May, received a $US100 million divorce settlement from Woods after he cheated on her with dozens of women.

Earlier this year, The Post reported Cline had travelled to Sweden with Nordegren to meet her family. They even reportedly went on golf double dates with Woods and his new girlfriend, pro skier Lindsey Vonn.

Nordegren told People about her relationship with Woods earlier this year, “I have moved on and I am in a good place ... My relationship with Tiger is centred around our children and we are doing really good — we really are — and I am so happy that is the case. He is a great father.”
