The Daily Mail has posted one of their long-winded stories claiming to have quotes from an insider friend of Tiger Woods. As we’ve heard, Tiger and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn broke up earlier this month, with each claiming that their demanding schedules kept them apart and that the split was mutual. The Mail’s insider claims that Tiger cheated on Lindsey after a particularly hard loss on the links, and that he confessed it to her, swearing it was a one-time thing. Tiger allegedly got Lindsey to go to therapy with him, similar to how he tried to go to therapy with Elin after his cheating came to light. Lindsey wasn’t having it and called it off. Given all we know about Tiger’s history, it was just a matter of time before this story came out. At first I thought that the Mail was making these quotes up, but their source defends Tiger and claims that he uses random sex as an outlet – similar to having some cocktails to wind down. That makes this story all the more believable to me. It sounds like they’re saying “Tiger wasn’t married to Lindsey, so it’s no biggie.” Here’s some of their story, with more at the source:
The Daily Mail Online can now exclusively reveal that during one of those ‘times apart’ Tiger cheated on Lindsey – with a ‘faceless, nameless woman’, a friend reveals.
‘He had a relapse in the sex department,’ a close friend reveals to Daily Mail Online. ‘Lindsey found out about women again. Always while he’s on the road. Just like when he was with Elin.’
It was after Tiger was eliminated from the San Diego-based Farmers Insurance Open in February, somewhere near his old stomping grounds in Southern California,that Tiger had a one night stand, the friend divulged.
‘He withdrew from Farmers. You have to understand, while it’s not right, it’s not really wrong either. Tiger isn’t married. He doesn’t really drink or do drugs. So what else does he have when he can’t afford to lose again? He is allowed to find some relief.
‘Most men would drink over such losses.Tiger has sex over it. Usually with local hookers whom he pays exorbitant amounts to, probably so they will want repeat business and won’t tell…’
[Tiger] was spotted with the woman.
‘When Tiger realized he was seen, he became concerned and eventually he decided to confess to Lindsey. Something he didn’t do with Elin. He came clean and I give him credit for that.
‘Yes, Tiger cheated again. But it wasn’t with anyone special. He really wanted Lindsey to be the one. But he blew it again. He can’t help himself. He’s got an addiction. He relapsed,’ says the friend.
‘Knowing Tiger, he doesn’t even see it as cheating because there’s no romance or feeling there. It’s just a stress reliever, like a high-ball or two after a bad day.’
The friend tells Daily Mail Online that despite pleas from peers and relatives to keep going to his self-mandated therapy sessions, Tiger stopped going completely — leading to the alleged ‘one-time slip’.
But that ‘one-time slip’ was enough to send Vonn, 30, packing…
‘Lindsey found out about the cheating the easy way, if there is an easy way. She didn’t check his texts. Tiger confessed. He took the opposite strategy he did with Elin and instead of hiding it, he admitted it before getting caught.
‘He doesn’t even see it as cheating. It’s just stress relief. It’s hard for him to see that he’s bad. Maybe he’s not. He’s not married to Lindsey. But he also won’t get her back. She’s another strong woman like Elin who respects herself too much..'”
There’s more in The Mail claiming that Lindsey went with Tiger to two sessions of therapy. During their second session, Tiger allegedly confessed to cheating just the “one time”. That’s when Lindsey told Tiger it was over. The source also claims that Lindsey found Tiger boring and self absorbed, which sounds just about right. I really wonder what took her so long – she claims they were together three years, but I also question why she got involved with him in the first place. She had to know on some level that this would happen again. Cheaters are going to cheat, there’s nothing to be done about it and women who think they can change a man often find out the hard way that it isn’t possible.

Can we Call It a D!ck Relapse??
…Lindsey probaby is tired of everyone Laughing at her and maybe one of his checks didnt clear
Yeah, it always seemed kind of amazing to me that she ever got together with him in the first place.
Is anybody shocked by this? Anybody?? Yeah, I didn’t think so..
No one is surprised.
Also, LOL @ all the “sources” falling all over themselves to justify his actions.
This was such a manufactured PR relationship, I am sure they had a deal to clean up his womanizing image.
Looks like that “deal” backfired.
I’m grossed out by the justifications. The guy is a scumbag IMO.
Most people have romanticized notions about monogamous relationships that have nothing to do with reality and everything to do with the romantic drivel perpetuated by Hollywood and pop music. Tiger should stop trying to be something he’s not and just sleep with as many women as he wants to. I actually like him more now than I did in the old days when everybody made him out to be a saint.
Mispronounced, can you provide your data on the claim “most people”? It’s fairly naive to assume you know what goes on in “most” relationships. As someone pointed out on another thread, “monagamish” is common enough, with two people defining their relationship as a team, but open/swinging relationships are about trust and honesty. Cheating is about narcissism and immaturity.
There is nothing romantic about expecting honesty and fidelity from your lover, Mispronounced. Tiger cheating on his girlfriend and wife has nothing to do with their romantic notions and everything to do with his own inability to maintain a relationship.
Tiger has always been a soulless, arrogant creep, so no big surprise that he still sees nothing wrong with using hookers to ‘relieve stress.’ I think Lindsey was basking in his celebrity a bit more than she wanted to admit, and it backfired.
“…he doesn’t even see it as cheating because there’s no romance or feeling there. It’s just a stress reliever, like a high-ball or two after a bad day.”
I don’t get that. If this is the case, why does he even need a partner when he’s alone? There are, um, ways to relieve one’s own stress without dragging someone else into it. He is a strange guy.
“high-ball”…..LOL
either self-love or STAY SINGLE, you yobbo.
or he needs to find a woman who doesn’t mind him straying as long as she gets that money.
Exact, he needs to find someone willing to look the other way and just cash the checks. Or here’s an idea, stay single individual work on yourself!
I think the thing with a “sex addition” is that it’s more about the validation and how the attention makes them feel that it is about the actual “release”.
I think.
That South Park episode covering the topic certainly supports that. Because they can/ego boost/validation
Meh. They were apart more than they were together. I think most powerful celebs as far as actors, musicians, sports figures, have cheated on their girlfriends at least once when they are away with so much freedom and available women.
This isn’t on the same level as being married with kids and cheating right and left on a scandal level. It’s more par for the course regarding a celebrity with a girlfriend who has a big career also, so apart often.
This may come off as ignorant but I am in two minds about this ‘sex addiction’ excuse people always use.
Then I’m ignorant, too. It sounds a lot like a total lack of self control and an excuse for doing whatever you want to me.
Me too.
I roll my eyes at all those excuses. Say you do sh*t because you are an alcoholic. It’s a disease and a powerful one. But if you are not actively seeking help and trying to overcome it, then why should I put up with your drunk a$$?
Same with sex. If you are addicted, either get help, or don’t go into a relationship. It’s your responsibility, period.
My guess is that there probably are some people who have a legitimate addiction issue and need actual treatment, and the rest are just looking for an excuse for cheating. I’d bet money Woods is the latter.
True. On both counts.
I agree…sex addiction? Really? Only rich, celebrities have a “sex addiction” , an ordinary, poor, guy is just a cheating dog!!!! Don’t get me wrong…they all suck, equally!
i dont know who said it but i found it fitting: (may not be correct scientifically) you dont have a sex addiction if you sleep with a lot of attractive people, you have a sex addicction when you have sex with dead animals.
Tiger obviously needs an excuse but it is really simple: he wants to have sex with those women and those women want to have sex with him.
his reputation is ruined anyway, he has all the money in the world, there is no reason for him to change.
Ewww isn’t that more along the lines of beastiality and yes he is young and filthy rich, why doesn’t he just have consenting adult relations and stop with the relationship façade.
Loopy, people with legitimate sex addiction are so compulsive they will go outside of their own natural orientations and inclinations. They’ll chase novelty and since sex is associated with self humiliation in their minds, they begin to seek out experiences that ordinarily nauseate them. So yes, beastiality can become part of the menu for these guys.
Tiger just gets off of the idea of deceiving a partner/getting caught. Otherwise he would just find an open relationship. I bet there are thousands of skinny blonde 20-somethings who would happily sign on for those terms.
Maybe as simple that he is a narcissist. He doesn’t care about anyone else.
I’m not buying into either Loopy. Sorry if that makes me ignorant but in my world that is a big old BS excuse.
Yeah. It’s a disease like cancer. We should all contribute money to the fight against random fornication.
Well, knock me over with a feather. Who saw that coming?
Yes, please pass me the smelling salts; I feel faint!
It is shocking.
I’m sure it was with another basic bitch too. That’s what I really don’t understand about cheaters. Why do they always risk their relationships/marriages on someone who is far less attractive/accomplished than the woman they have at home? Compare Elin to Jamie Jungers. Or in Eddie Cibrian’s situation, compare LeeAnn Rimes to Brandy Glanville. I just don’t get it.
They don’t cheat with women on the same level because why would they want the woman thinking they deserve anything out of what is – for the guy – just a fling?
Leann I think just kinda snowballed for Eddie though haha.
Relapse?? More like Reveal. As in Lindsey finally wised up and discovered whst he’d been doing all along.
A peen that wandering can never be redeemed.
Why would any woman want that “ever wandering peen” anyway….you know the old saying (which I just made up)
A wandering peen
cannot be clean!
Thank you…..that will be in my head all day now LOL
Brilliant, MrsBPitt!
I’m going to have that tatooed.
😂😂
genius!
I’m stunned!…said no one.
Dude needs to find a better “relief” than hookers, or give up the image of a “family” guy and just be the dog he wants to be.
I wonder if he’s tried a blow-up doll…….
Someone who claims a random sexual encounter is a “one-time thing” or happened “just this once” doesn’t sound like a clinically diagnosed sex addict who knows they’ll deal with serious compulsions for a lifetime. He just sounds like an excuse maker.
well well…
got to say a couple of things here.
i never believed they were a real couple to begin with but a buy out for tiger to redeem his image…
what was in it for her besides money, i don’t know…one would think any woman would be embarrassed to be associated with him.
so now learning that she freaked because he cheated…and did so with randoms without protection exposing her to gawd knows what?
sounds like they did have a relationship with real feelings…at least on her part…
he is SO GROSS…SO GROSS…he ruined a legacy…took a steep fall from iconic grace…
for what?
anyway…
don’t know where this guy ends up relationship-wise.
he was the envy of many guys when he was with his stunning wife…
with that life…that image…
where will he go from here?
idiot
Just before this broke, I was in a waiting room reading an old interview with her (six month old mags) where she said something like, “I’m only attracted to champions” or “I could only ever be with a champion” (explaining why she was with Tiger). I thought “that’s gonna cut down your dating pool a fair bit” but to each their own I suppose.
wow
pretty full of herself, huh?
i didn’t know her at all before tiger…i mean, i heard of her, but never paid attention.
i saw her a time or 2 on the today show commenting during the olympics and found her obnoxious and self absorbed, so i said – hey – this is why she’s with tiger. 2 peas in a pod…
i never liked tiger even when he was at the top of his game and golf fans worldwide idolized him.
seeing now how he trashed what he accomplished only validates what i picked up with him…
it really is a true american tragedy, right?
his fall from grace…
i have nothing more to say for him as i’ll say again…
idiot
Exactly that most of us had never heard of her before she got with Tiger. Mission accomplished! I, too, am amazed it took this long for his cheating to be exposed and for her to break up with him. (Or for the contract to expire.)
“It’s just a stress reliever” ~ Don’t his hands work?
To men like that women are the same as hands.
Then he definitely has a mental problem!
Here’s an consensus opinion from PunkyDaddy’s golf posse: when he was deep into his “addiction”, before it all blew up with Elin, he was at the top of his game. He tried to clean up, and his game tanked. He’s back on his hooker regime hoping to regain his mojo. (Again, NOT MY WORDS and golfers are a superstition and strange breed.)
My opinion: cheaters are gonna cheat.
Trying to get his mojo back makes sense.
This I believe. As I don’t care for him, I hope his mojo is gone for good.
Apparently, Tiger hasn’t discovered Internet p0rn yet.
One time I briefly dated a guy that was both hot and had money. He was not a bad person but never could hold a relationship. And then I learned why! He was hit on constantly. I was actually pushed out of the way. The temptation was ongoing and plentiful. He didn’t really have to work at it because if he had a fight or whatevet, there was always someone else there to give him sex if he wanted it, so he never developed those skills you need. I don’t think I could ever be with someone wealthy or famous!
lemon, just curious, what happened to him? (still single, divorced three times,..?)
Hmmm, I just looked him up on FB. Second wife, at least, I know of one other but there may be more. He’s much less hot so maybe that helped him settles down!
maybe so 🙂
I know some super hot men who don’t have intimacy issues . Objectifyjng is is a symptom and the onus falls upon the perpetrator not the women who fawn all.over.
They cannot make robot hookers for stress-release-needing-creeps fast enuf!
When I heard about this, I thought of the song- ‘what’s new pussycat? But with the words- ‘what’s new Tiger Woods, Oooohhhh..’. Same ole thing, self absorbed Tiger.
Steel Panther’s hit comes to mind for me:
‘If you wanna be like Tiger Woods, fillin’ all the divots in the neighbourhood…”
I’m disgusted at the friend’s cavalier and seemingly unselfconscious de-humanization of the “nameless, faceless” woman – who “wasn’t anyone special” – as a mere “tension reliever.”
By now I shouldn’t be, but I’m still shocked at the tone, as well as the way it reeks of entitled sexism from an unembarrassed person who thinks he or she is just explaining a “situation” “logically.”
I don’t see it as sexism. Women hook up with guys they have no intention of dating too. There’s nothing wrong with a little tension relieving sex, the problems come from lying to your partner and/or your hook up.
Tiger should just accept that monogamy isn’t for him, and stick to dating women who are also happy to be non-monogamous. Problem solved.
Yes that really pissed me off too.
I don’t get why people like Tiger even try to be monogamous. If it’s not for you, just be honest and upfront about it and find a partner who feels the same.
i think they want the best of both worlds. I’ve been where I didn’t want a relationship and neither did the guy. Until he met some innocent soul who he made his partner. because for some reason, even though many men sleep around, for a relationship, they want some innocent babe in the woods. Then they cheat on her. they want someone at home to take care of them but they like the chase aund sleeping around, so they cheat on her. but they won’t partner with a woman like them because they want it all. for example, a guy at my work who admitted to the other guys he didn’t like using protection, quit, came back with an 18 yr old pregnant wife from costa rica. b/c he told our boss who gave him s*it about it, he didn’t want an american girl, they’re too “kardashian.” in other words, this player slime thought American women are too experienced and worldly. b/c his great self deserved some innocent babe. makes me sick. but i’ve met many guys like that. who have the opinion that women are either “good” or “bad.” but regardless of how wild the guy is, he deserves a “good” girl in his mind. sexist double standard
Ok, he has a sex addiction. In which case having sex with a random person is not like getting a drink or two after a hard day. It’s like going on a bender for an alcoholic. It starts with one then increases. Good for her for taking care of her health. God knows what he’s a carrier for.
“It was after Tiger was eliminated
from the San Diego-based Farmers
Insurance Open in February,”
Ba da bum bum, ba ba bum!
I don’t beleive he has or ever had an addiction. He’s just a selfish douche. Save the “addiction” label for those who really have one, not just some narcissist who likes trashy variety. The blinds said he cheated constantly and she found out by, yes, going through his cell phone where she found many that had been on-going since before Vonn hooked up with him and never stopped. Personally, I don’t think there’s any real love lost. I’ve always thought theirs was a PR stunt for image control. I hope so, because anybody who hooks up with a known cheater willing to put his family on the line, is arrogant and dillusional. He was into not only random sex, but kink, choking, etc. Can’t imagine any woman with a brain thinking he’d just stop all that be satisfied with regular from just her. Not gonna’ happen. I see him as just another narcissist who feeds his whims – screw the consequences. And yet another pun happened. Sorry.
^^^ THIS!
Dear Lindsey,
Was this a surprise?
Love,
The rest of the planet.
Ha! +1
Once a pig always a pig!!!
I wonder if the head in his pants is as tiny as one on his shoulders.
He’s the type who should just remain single, not even get into full relationship. Just have f***buddies and call it a day…or night. I say the same for Michael Phelps. He’ll be next.
A relapse is what a cancer patient or addict experience. A cheating douchebag is permanently a douchebag. Just own your sluttery and stop wasting women’s time with “relationships,” Tiger.
Two things I learned while reading about this… One he doesn’t use any protection with his women and two the reason he has fake front tooth/teeth is because Elin got him in the face with the golf club! Wow! I think he should date Hope Solo next.. She would kick his ass
Holy shit, really?? I knew she’d busted in the windows of his car, but I didn’t know she’d knocked him around with it. I mean, the guy’s a douchebag, but that’s pretty…wow.
Let’s not pamper him..don’t call him an addict. Tiger is enslaved to a spirit of lust..if he won’t be faithful to the mother of his kids, how is Linndsey so dumb that she thought he would change for her? As in Bruce was divorced twice over repeat repeat, so how did Kris think he would change for her? Both of these were famous rich athletes that could have used their fame and fortune to better the world..to help the less fortunate, but squandered their families and public goodwill so they could indulge in their own selfish pleasures.
If he has an addiction, it’s to lying not sex. He could just as easily choose not to be in a relationship that requires him to lie.
He could legitimately be a sex addict, but that’s his problem and not those of the women he dates. Like any addict, a good percentage of his problem is personal choice and an unwillingness or lack of desire to get help.
What an asshole!
Stress relief is such a bizarre excuse for his behaviour. I guess his next girlfriend has to give up her life to follow him everywhere so that she can be available for stress relieving anywhere and everywhere he is stationed.
Flashback to Jesse James and Kat Von D. THIS IS OBVIOUS. Clearly he has a problem. He goes to therapy. He refers to it as an “addiction”. Don’t get involved with someone if you’re going to break up with them when they relapse. What the F*&% is wrong with people?!?!
I see people are suggesting that he should find a woman who is also non-monogamous. The problem is that some…maybe many of these guys who want to have sex with people outside of their relationship are almost never comfortable with their partner sleeping with others as well. These people are selfish and narcissistic.
