Tiger Woods and his wife Elin are trying to get the intimacy back in their 5-year marriage, according to Us Weekly.

At Monday's Augusta National press conference, Woods confirmed that his 30-year old wife would not be joining him at The 2010 Masters Tournament telling reporters, "Elin's not coming this week."

Sources tell the magazine, "She's happy this will take some of the heat off her. But at the same time, she would rather Tiger focus on himself, his family and his treatment -- not his career."

As for why the couple has been distant, the source adds, "She's still embarrassed. And they definitely have not been intimate yet."
