Now we all know why pro golfer Tiger Woods was so desperate to protect his privacy last week. Apparently, the National Enquirer and US Weekly were only hitting the tip of the iceberg with their cheating reports. Currently, the number of women in Tiger’s infidelity harem is now at seven - and could be climbing. So, how is Tiger coping? Sources say he’s trying to convince wife Elin to go away on a secluded vacation with him. Because after finding out your husband’s been sticking it in at least seven other women while you were carrying his children, of COURSE you want to spend all kinds of time with him, right? Ugh. Is anyone else reminded of the last-ditch reunion effort Chris Brown and Diddy tried to orchestrate with Rihanna? That didn’t work, and I doubt a vacation is going to help this situation, either.
As the names of Las Vegas party planner Jamie Jungers, New York club regular Cori Rist and Orlando restaurant manager Mindy Lawton’s names are added to the mix, this column has learned another reason for the ongoing intensity of Mrs. Woods’ fury over her husband’s transgressions.
Tiger’s spouse’s rage was further fueled after she learned two of the women allegedly involved with her husband — Lawton and Jungers — had actually had trysts with the superstar golfer at the couple’s Windermere, Fla., home. ”While Tiger’s straying mostly took place in Vegas, New York or elsewhere in the Orlando area, it was those two supposed flings at their home that has got Elin crazy angry,” said a longtime Woods associate. ”Could you blame her?”
• Despite the ongoing revelations, I’ve also learned the Woodses are continuing to work on saving their marriage but would like to find a way to do it outside of their Florida home where they’ve been virtual prisoners — hiding from the ever-present media surrounding their exclusive enclave. They would like to figure out a way to escape from Windermere and fly somewhere where they could have total privacy.
”These days, that’s virtually an impossibility,” said my source, who added they would need ”a private preserve with total security, in like Montana or Idaho.”
• According to a Las Vegas casino executive who knows model and party promoter Jungers, the 26-year-old blonde is known for her obsession with celebrities. According to the Bellagio Hotel honcho, an engaged Jungers previously — and unsuccessfully — attempted to hook up with Charlie Sheen, Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter.
• Another casino manager, originally from Chicago, told me Saturday he agreed with that analysis of Jungers, but added that kind of behavior was also true of the other alleged Woods galpals Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin and Rachel Uchitel. According to the source, landing a famous man is ”a full time job for women like them.”

Tiger’s also mulling over the possibility of coming clean on the Oprah Winfrey Show as a last-ditch effort to save his marriage and career.
Tiger Woods was last night urged to confess all to chat show queen Oprah Winfrey – as allegations of a SIXTH mistress emerged.
The golfing star’s team of lawyers and PR advisers are desperate for Woods to spill the beans on Oprah’s sofa, possibly alongside his devastated wife Elin.
A source said: “Everyone around him believes it is the only way he will salvage any respect or even attempt to rebuild his family man image.”

I’m sure Oprah would love this - imagine the ratings! But at this point, why bother to “rebuild his family man image” since everyone knows it was all a lie in the first place? If the newest reports are to be believed, Woods has been having sex with other women practically since day one of his marriage to Elin. I don’t see how he can put out any kind of statement saying that his wife and children are his first priority now, since clearly, they never were. How does a supposedly devoted family man even have time to interact with his wife and kids when he’s juggling seven mistresses? I can’t see a scenario in which Elin chooses to stay with a man who has never been faithful to her. Not even with millions of dollars as an incentive. There’s only so much humiliation one woman can take.
UPDATE: The list of “Why Elin should divorce Tiger ASAP” just got even longer. New sources are revealing the following: the number of skanks Tiger was slamming is now at ten. That’s right: ten. A If you care to see the whole list, People has them for you, including one woman hilariously identified as “Anonymous Florida Cougar.” Also, it’s now being reported that Woods refused to use protection with at least two of the women.
Jaimee Grubbs — a 24-year-old cocktail waitress who broke the news to Us Weekly that she had a 31-month affair with Tiger Woods — says the golfer, 33, never wanted to use protection.
“He didn’t use a condom,” says Grubbs, who adds that Woods also didn’t ask if she was on birth control, either. “It wasn’t even discussed. He just never used one.”
Apparently, he also didn’t use condoms while bedding 33-year-old restaurant manager Mindy Lawton, according to Lawton’s sister, Lynn. “She said he never wore condoms,” Lynn told British tabloid, News of the World. “I was so worried she might catch a disease, especially as we suspected he was promiscuous.”
Experts tell Usmagazine.com that not only did Woods risk his own life, but also the lives of his wife, model Elin Nordegren, and their two children, Sam, 2, and Charlie, 10 months.
“It’s self-destructive behavior,” says psychotherapist Rhonda Findling, author of Don’t Call That Man! “Sometimes it’s just momentary stupidity, but this seems like sexual addiction.”

And finally, The Daily Beast reveals that Tiger’s injuries on the golf course fueled a long-standing pill habit that led him down a path of promiscuous sex. The report also states that the star athlete was “snoring” at the scene of the accident, and his already documented Ambien use could have been the reason for the accident in the first place.
Florida police have not yet released a full report from Tiger Woods’ immediately infamous SUV crash on November 27, but the most curious detail to emerge came from a neighbor, Jarius Adams, who reached the accident scene almost immediately, dashed into his sister’s house to call 911, then returned.
“At that point, he was, uh, he [Tiger Woods] was snoring,” Adams told the police.
“He was snoring?” asked the investigator.
“He was actually snoring.”
Trauma doctors I interviewed said that Woods should have been hyper-alert because of the adrenaline rush naturally associated with such unexpected excitement and stress. Various reports have suggested that Woods’ crash was influenced by prescription medication, taken for an injury. But one law-enforcement officer, familiar with the investigation, tells The Daily Beast that police on the scene suspected that Woods was disoriented and loopy because he had taken Ambien, a highly popular prescription sleeping pill. A person familiar with Woods’ medical treatment two years ago tells me that Woods has used prescription sedatives, when injured, to help him sleep.
As far as Tiger’s advisers and family were concerned, the potential problem, this source stressed, was more focused on whether the prescription pills might take a minute edge off Tiger’s reaction time and somehow adversely affect his game. But at least one physician was concerned enough to directly raise with Woods the potential of addiction and his need to wean off the pain pills.

Here’s my take on the accident: Tiger gets busted texting one of his slam hounds, but has already popped his nightly Ambien. Elin confronts him and he takes off, in no shape to drive - as evidenced by the fire hydrant/tree. Elin comes out upon hearing the crash and sees her husband seemingly unconscious (read: fast asleep!) in the drivers’ seat. The car is likely locked - most new cars have an auto-lock feature - so Elin grabs a golf club and smashes out the rear windows to get to Tiger. Who is snoring.
See? Where’s my detective badge?
