Representative for 'The Bachelor' insists that report mentioning ABC is considering to cast the professional golfer for the next season is completely 'ridiculous.'

Contrary to swirling rumor, Tiger Woods has never been considered to be cast for the next season of "The Bachelor". Representative for the reality series has come forward to debunk reports mentioning ABC wants to have the World No. 1 golfer as its next leading man. To Gossip Cop, the spokesperson insisted the rumor is "ridiculous."

It was Zack Taylor that brought up the casting story in the first place. Reporting that former contestant of "The Bachelorette", Chris Lambton, and "American Idol" alum, Casey James, have both turned down the offer, the celebrity blogger went on to report an ABC producer claimed that the network has reached out "to Tiger's people about getting him to appear on the show."

34-year-old Tiger has finally finalized his divorce with wife Elin Nordegren on Monday, August 23. In a joint statement, he and Elin said, "We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us."

According to court documents, Tiger and Elin have signed a Marital Settlement Agreement, which deals with terms of child support, alimony and the division of assets. The papers also mentioned that the former couple have lived separately since the golf athlete accidentally crashed his car in November 2009, adding that "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.
