Tiger's Frantic Call To His Mistress Days Before The Incident!

tigerbuick200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Jaimee Grubbs, the cocktail waitress who claimed she was having a three-year affair with Tiger Woods, released a voicemail she says was recorded just days before Woods' Friday morning accident in which the golf star begs her to erase her name from her outgoing message.

In a recording obtained by Us, Tiger sounds panicked about his wife having found out about the alleged affair. "Hey, it's Tiger," he starts. "I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."

Yet Another Woman Identified As A Tiger Woods Mistress

tigernews200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - A third woman has been identified as a Tiger Woods mistress, a marketing manager for Las Vegas nightclub The Bank named Kalika Moquin.

Life & Style says a source claimed Tiger and Kalika hooked up "numerous times" over the weekend of October 23rd at his Las Vegas hotel (which Kalika he may have overlapped with another one of his mistresses!)

"They've hooked up a bunch of times," says the spy. "Tiger told Kalika that married life isn't all it's built up to be. He said he wasn't happy in his marriage or his home life and that there was just so much pressure on him."

Kalika wouldn't confirm the report, but she didn't exactly deny it either! "It's not appropriate for me to comment one way or the other," she said. "At this time, I'm just choosing to focus on my job."

New York club promoter Rachel Uchitel and Las Vegas cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs (who has the voicemail to prove it) have also been romantically linked to Woods.

It's rumored that a fight between Woods and his wife Elin over the discovery of these alleged mistresses is what really caused Tiger's injuries the morning of November 27th. The Florida Highway Patrol have said they won't be pressing charges in the matter.

Woods' Alleged Mistress Jaimee Grubbs Won't Talk About Call From Tiger's Wife

jaimeegrubbsfirefly200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Jaimee Grubbs, the woman who admitted to having a three-year affair with Tiger Woods and released intimate texts and voicemails she kept over the course of her relationship, seemed as if she was enjoying her newfound fame outside of Firefly in Studio City last night.

She declined to tell X17 whether or not she had a conversation with Tiger's wife Elin after Nordegren found out about the affair (or what was said!) but it certainly doesn't seem like Jaimee's remorseful about her role as "the other woman!"

Rachel Uchitel Cancels Press Conference On Woods Affair

uchitelcancels200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Rachel Uchitel has cancelled the press conference scheduled for today at 11:30am in which she was most likely going to admit her affair with Tiger Woods.

Rachel Uchitel spent twelve hours with her attorney Gloria Allred going over the details of her press conference yesterday, which was being billed as a statement from the "woman who denied having an affair with Tiger Woods."

Denied as in past tense. Which signifies that today Uchitel was no longer deny being one of the "transgressions" that Tiger himself admitted to yesterday, and was going to finally announce the truth about her relationship with the golfer -- that she WAS in fact sleeping with him!

Did Rachel get a case of cold feet? Or is she hiding something else?

Tiger Woods' List Of Alleged Lovers Grows To Nine

tigernews200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Talk about playing the back nine!

In addition to Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin, Mindy Lawton and Jamie Jungers, four more women have come forward claiming flings with Woods.

NY Daily News claims Manhattan party-girl Cori Rist was gettin' it on with the golfer since they met at Butter nightclub (the same one where Lindsay was spotted hanging on John Mayer) last year, and was flown all over the country to hook up with him while he was on tour. "Tiger would typically get a large suite at a hotel. Someone would book Cori an adjacent room, so she wouldn't be seen coming into his room." Apparently, the couple was even spotted in New York together as recently as one month ago!

Porn star Holly Sampson was Id'd as Tiger's seventh, with The Daily Mail claiming a Brit broadcaster is babe number 8.

As for number 9, Us says a Florida attorney is representing a woman who claims she had a two-year relationship with Woods.

Tiger has reportedly offered his wife Elin Nordegren an additional $60 million (on top of the original $20 mil in the prenup) if she stays with him.

Doctors Concerned Tiger Woods Abusing Prescription Pills

tigerbuick200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - In addition to all the lovely ladies that have come forward claiming that they've had intimate relations with Tiger Woods, a new report claims that doctors were concerned the golf star may have been abusing prescription drugs.

“One doctor felt concerned enough to raise the question with him of whether he was using painkiller medications and also sleeping agents at too fast of a rate and whether he might become addicted,” Gerald Posner, Chief Investigative Reporter for The Daily Beast tells Access Hollywood.

Tiger was reportedly taking a painkiller for a knee injury (that's been a problem since childhood) at the time of the accident. Even though Woods was unconscious when the cops arrived on the scene, no alcohol or drug test was administered.

"The Florida Highway Patrol didn’t do their job. They didn’t give him a breathalyzer, a urine test or blood test so no test that night on Tiger Woods to see if in fact he was on any type of medication that he shouldn’t have been on,” Posner said.

The cops eventually did decide to test Tiger's blood; they subpoenaed the sample taken from Tiger at the hospital three days after the incident, but the results of that test are still unknown.

Tiger Woods' Mother-In-Law In Stable Condition After Being Rushed To The Hospital

hospitaltigerx200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Earlier this morning it was reported that an unidentified blonde woman was rushed to the hospital from Tiger Woods' Florida mansion, and NBC News has identified her as Barbro Holmberg, Elin Nordegren's 57-year-old mother.

Firefighters were called to Woods' home shortly after 2:35AM, and a middle aged blonde woman was seen being taken out on a stretcher and transported to Health Central hospital in Ocoee. A woman who appeared to be Woods' wife Elin was spotted driving a black Cadillac Escalade to the hospital and WESH reports that she was seen leaving the hospital a short time ago.

Contrary to other reports it doesn't look like Holmberg was put on life support, as hospital spokesman Dan Yates told reporters that Tiger's mother-in-law was admitted for "stomach pain and is currently undergoing evaluation." He added that she was in stable condition.

Tiger Mistress Rachel Uchitel Finally Speaks

racheluchitelspeaks200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - After cancelling her scheduled press conference and going silent while girl after girl came forward claiming affairs with Tiger Woods, the first woman to be ID'd as a Woods mistress is finally telling her story.

Well, sort of. Rachel Uchitel spoke to Ok about being thrust into the spotlight, but she didn't exactly open up about her rumored affair with Tiger Woods.

"In every story, you need a villain and a hero. I've been characterized as a villain. People have called me homewrecker. gold digger, tramp, whore. I make mistakes, but I'm not those things. I have very good qualities. When you're judged by the nation it's really difficult. It's horrible," Rachel said.

The victim continued, "My life is not dependent on [having] a man. A man does not shape my happiness."

Although Rachel isn't exactly talking deets about her supposed affair, a pal told Star about an e-mail Tiger allegedly sent Uchitel, which said, "I finally found someone I connect with, someone I have never found like this...not even at home."

Sounds like his connection with Uchitel may have been more than just a fling!

But when asked, "Who have you leaned on?" during this time, Rachel responded, "That [question] I want to stay away from."

Alleged Woods Mistress Apologizes To Tiger's Wife, Says He Never Mentioned Elin

jaimeeapology200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - One of Tiger's alleged mistresses, Jaimee Grubbs, claims that in their almost 3-year affair, he never mentioned his wife, Elin.

In an interview with Extra, Jaimee apologized to Elin, saying "I couldn't describe how remorseful that I am to have hurt her family and her emotionally." But Jaimee knew that if Tiger didn't cheat with her, "it was going to be other girls. I did care about him -- I didn't do it for superficial reasons. I didn't do it to purposely hurt her."

She also revealed some saucy text to The Today Show that read: "Hey, sexy, I can't come out this week. Something came up family wise."

"I hope everything is fine," Grubbs responded. "l would have liked to see you."

"We will make this happen," Woods said.

"See you 8pm on Sunday in Newport," texted later, adding, "Don't text me back till tomorrow morning. I have to [sic] many people around me right now."

One Of Tiger's Alleged Mistresses Says Woods' Wife Elin Won't Be Getting An Apology From Her

jaimeapology200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Although Jaimee Grubbs already issued a public apology to Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren, the other Jaime, Jaime Junger says "I don't believe that I owe her an apology."

In an interview with Dateline airing tonight, the alleged Woods mistress says, "I feel like that's his-- that's his business. Everybody makes mistakes. This wasn't something that I did yesterday or a month ago or a year ago. This was years ago. I was younger. And I'm not saying that what I did then was right. But-- I'm certainly not gonna say that it was wrong. I believe everything happens for a reason. And-- no, I-- I don't-- I don't believe that I owe her apology-- an apology. I mean, I-- I'm sorry for everything that's going down. And what may happen to her kids' fe-- their kids' future, you know? But no, I don't-- I don't believe I owe her an apology. No."

She goes on to say that her relationship with Tiger was "way more than sex." "t was very-- it was very emotional," she said. "I mean, we had-- I felt like we had a lot-- or I had a lot of feelings towards him. And he showed me that he had a lot of feelings towards me. It wasn't just a sexual situation, it was-- I believe, it-- it was love. I loved him. I still love him."

Child Protection Investigators Called To Tiger Woods' Home

tigerchildnews200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - The Florida Department of Children and Families paid a visit to Tiger Woods' Windemere, Florida home over the weekend, according to Us Weekly.

Online reports claim that a police car and an unmarked car from the DCF were parked outside Woods' home for about an hour on Saturday, but it is not known whether or not Tiger was home at the time of the visit. Woods and his wife Elin have two children together, Sam, 2, and Charlie, 10 months.

Captain Angelo Nieves of the Orange County Sheriff's Department said his office was in contact with DCF, but would not confirm whether or not they visited the golf pro's house. He released the following statement:

"We met with Department of Family and Child Services on Friday afternoon. I can tell you that it is a common occurrence when they need assistance. We have no information regarding their investigation or who may be involved."

Tiger Woods Still Texting Rachel Uchitel, Source Says "They Are Not Over!"

tigerrachelstilltexting.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - After the enormous fallout from his numerous infidelities, you would think Tiger Woods would have stepped back and concentrated on putting his broken family back together, but apparently he's still texting the first woman named in the sex scandal, Rachel Uchitel, telling her he still wants to be with her!

A source tells Us that after the news of the affairs broke, "Tiger was texting her [Uchitel], trying to find time to get together again. He wasn't even fazed!"

Rachel may have been "disgusted" by the revelation that she wasn't the only mistress in his life, but the mag says it wasn't enough to keep her away from West Palm Beach, Florida on Monday, which is close to where Woods keeps his boat, Privacy.

Would Woods really be brazen enough to hookup with his firse alleged mistress in the midst of everything that's going on?

Tiger Woods' Wife Seeking Divorce

tigernews200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - A source close to Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren says that "the divorce is 100 percent on."

ABC News reports that although Elin has made up her mind about ending her marriage, is "not rushing to divorce. She's going to take her sweet time. She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything."

Considering that the list of mistresses keeps growing, we'd say that's a smart move!

Although his personal reputation is in shambles, his various admitted infidelities didn't keep the public from voting him "Athlete of the Decade" by members of The AP. It will probably take another decade before we even begin to forget about this shocking sex scandal!

Woods' Wife Elin Nordegren Hires Britney Spears' Divorce Attorney

tigernews200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) -Elin Nordegren is definitely not "standing by her man." In fact the scorned wife of Tiger Woods has already hired one of Hollywood's heaviest hitters to represent her in her divorce: Sorrell Trope.

Trope repped splitting stars like Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Nic Cage and Hugh Grant in their divorces, but this may be his biggest and most high profile case yet.

As the numbers of women claiming to have had affairs with Tiger Woods grows by the day, Elin may have more ammo to chip away at the pre-nup agreement she signed with one of the world's richest athletes.

The NY Daily News points out that Trope may not be as familiar with Florida law, but as one Manhattan based attorney says, "He's in a class of maybe 12 or 15 lawyers that handles very high-asset, high-income divorces with contentious custody cases."

Tiger should be quaking in his golf shoes!

Tiger Woods Still Sleeping With Alleged Mistress Rachel Uchitel

tigerrachelstilltexting.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Despite the scandal that rocked his marriage, cost him some sponsorships and caused him to drop out of the game he loves (for now), Tiger Woods is still carrying on an affair with alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel!

According to In Touch, the two never stopped seeing each other!

"They have been sleeping together the entire time since the scandal broke,” a friend says. "They hooked up in a condo she’s been staying at in Palm Beach.”

In fact, the mag says that Tiger hasn't been staying on his yacht, Privacy, but on a decoy close to Rachel's place. “Rachel’s condo is 500 feet from where Tiger’s boat is docked. He has been visiting her there.” The snitch also says that Tiger even flew to LA when she was here to be with her (which we think is a little far-fetched!) “She’s madly in love with him, and she believes that he loves her as well,” says the pal.

He'd better be in love if he's risking everything to be with her!

Report: Tiger Woods And Rachel Uchitel Together In Palm Beach

tigerrachelpb200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Apparently Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel were spotted together on Sunday night at a mansion party in Palm Beach, Florida, and Entertainment Tonight reports that the duo mingled "with about three hundred other partygoers Sunday night" and were spotted holding hands!

ET also reports that Tiger and Rachel partied together on Saturday night at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach, and they add that some sources claim the couple is living together in Palm Beach.

But if there were several hundred guests at the party on Sunday night, why hasn't anyone else come forward with the story? And why aren't there pictures? Someone had to have known how much those shots would be worth, so we find it a little hard to believe that there isn't photo documentation of this.

X17 XCLUSIVE - Tiger Woods In Rehab, Says Source

tigerrehab200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - A source tells X17online exclusively that Tiger Woods has entered a private, upscale rehabilitation facility in Arizona. While recent reports claim Tiger was spotted in Palm Beach with alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel, but so far no pictures have surfaced nor has anyone gone on the record saying they saw the two together.

The source tells X17online:
"He has been there for a few days since his handlers forced him to enter the program. They feel that if he blames his cheating on addiction, the public will forgive him."

Meanwhile, a stint in rehab for Tiger seems like the next logical step. After singer Eric Benet was caught in a much-publicized cheating scandal during his relationship with Halle Berry, he entered rehab for sexual addiction. More recently, Californication star David Duchovny did the same in an effort to redeem his reputation and his marriage with Tea Leoni.

Arizona boasts two high-profile rehabilitation centers - Cottonwood de Tuscon and The Meadows in Phoenix. Cottonwood's program for sex addiction "centers on helping patients retrain the neural pathways that are activated by their sexual behavior," while the Meadows focuses on treating alcohol and drug addiction along with compulsive behaviors such as eating, gambling, sex, love addiction/avoidance and codependence. While it seems obvious that Tiger would be entering a facility for sex addiction, it was also reported that he had problems with prescription drug abuse, so it's entirely possible that he's being treated for multiple issues.

The source explains Woods' motivation to get help:
"Tiger wants to get back on top. He agreed to put golfing on hold so he could show the world how badly he feels about what he's done and to prove that he wants to correct the problems that led to his infidelity."

Woods' Only Injury A "Fat Lip" According To Florida Highway Patrol

tigernews200.jpgORLANDO, Florida (X17online) - Finally speaking out for the first time on the accident that set off a sex scandal that rocked Tiger Woods' world, the Florida Highway Patrol says Tiger's only injuries during their December 1st meeting was "a fat lip."

Sgt. Montes of the FHP tells WESH in Orlando, "The only thing we noticed was a fat lip. No other facial injuries. No reason to believe he was the victim of domestic violence."

With only a puffy lip, there's no way Woods would be in Arizona recovering for plastic surgery, but rather, as we first reported, sex and/or drug rehab.

Rachel Uchitel Denies Hooking Up With Tiger In Palm Beach!

tigerrachelstilltexting.jpgORLANDO, Florida (X17online) - Although several reports say Tiger Woods' and his alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel have been hooking up in Palm Beach for the last few weeks, she says it's not so.

Uchitel told Access Hollywood that claims that she and Tiger had been partying over the weekend at the Everglades club in Palm Beach are completely false, and in fact, Page2live.com, has photos of Uchitel at another club, 251 Sunrise on the night in question, partying with pals.

Additionally, Uchitel's lawyer, Gloria Allred, said, "Ms. Uchitel has had absolutely no contact with Tiger Woods for quite some time, and has not seen him or had any communication with him since she has been in Palm Beach.”

Elin's Christmas Gift From Tiger: $300 Million!

elingetty200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - While on vacay in the French Alps, Elin Nordegren revealed to pals that her philandering husband Tiger Woods' Christmas gift to her was "Three hundred million dollars, thank you very much!"

The Swedish beauty, who celebrated her 30th birthday on Friday, was also spotted once again wearing her wedding ring on the slopes (she removed it in the days following Tiger's accident.)

So is the $300 mil gift (roughly half his fortune) a payoff from Tiger to get Elin to stay with him? "She's 100 per cent determined to split with Tiger," a source tells News of the World. "When she boasted of the '$300m Christmas gift' and then laughed it was clear to everyone around her that she's more focused than ever about moving on with her life."

As we previously reported, Elin hired Britney Spears' divorce attorney, Sorrell Trope, to represent her in the split.

"She still has feelings for Tiger as the father of her kids, but now her only dealings with him will be to get her and the youngsters set up in a comfortable home with everything they need," the pal continues. "And so far Tiger has just agreed to settle for an easy life."

Report: Tiger Woods Staying With NY Billionaire

tigernews200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Tiger Woods is doing an excellent job hiding from the media (it's been nearly 6 weeks since anyone's spotted him), but the latest report on his whereabouts has him holed up in New York with his billionaire pal Jim Dolan, CEO of Cablevision and owner of Madison Square Garden and the New York Knicks.

According to Us Weekly, Dolan reached out to Tiger and invited him to stay at his $13.5 million 10,000-square-foot colonial Long Island mansion. A source tells the magazine that Tiger has also been seeing a shrink, or rather, the shrink has been coming to see him as he remains in seclusion.

The source says that Dolan has even given Tiger access to his fleet of jets, and that he's traveled back and forth to Florida several times now. "He's the one keeping him under the radar," adds the source. "Jet-setting everywhere."

A rep for Madison Square Garden has denied that the golf pro is staying with Dolan, stating that it is "categorically false and preposterous on its face." Sources revealed to X17online that Tiger was in Arizona for rehab, so until we have some photographic evidence, we're thinking he could be anywhere!

Woods' Mistresses Claim Tiger Engaged In Gay Sex And Took Ecstasy!

tigernews200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California - (X17online) - In a new tell-all book, alleged call girl and Tiger mistress Loredana Jolie Ferriolo claims that she saw Woods having sex with men in a group-sex situation.

Ferriolo tells Radar that her new book will explain how she and Tiger "came about, his healthy appetite for arranged sex, threesomes, girls next door, girl-girl, and an answer to all the rumors surrounding Woods' sexuality."

Her rep says "She is in talks with a number of publishing companies regarding a tell-all book deal," which she's apparently shopping for a cool mil!

But she's not the only mistress to be spilling new beans. Another woman, Susie Ogren, says she and Woods took Ecstasy together in Las Vegas.

Ogren, who tells The National Enquirer that she and Tiger first met in 1999 (before he was married) on a Las Vegas golf course, says that she saw Tiger pop the pill in the VIP area of Las Vegas club Studio 54.

“One of his friends said, ‘I’ve got some Ecstasy - let’s roll,’ and produced little white pills, smaller than aspirin. Tiger and I did one pill each. I’m sure Tiger was hoping it would turn me on so he could get me into bed, and he took the pill so casually that it seemed to me he was used to doing it," she revealed.

“But the Ecstasy was crappy," Ogren says. "The pills just made us sweaty, and didn’t make us feel good. I wanted to go to sleep. I could see Tiger wasn’t happy that the Ecstasy wasn’t turning me on. Soon he said he was tired and took off for his luxury suite alone. He seemed angry.”

Although Susie claims they saw each other several times after that, she says they were never sexually intimate.

Woods has been in seclusion ever since his Thanksgiving weekend accident, with reports putting him on his yacht, at the Long Island estate of a millionaire friend, and even in Phoenix for sex and drug rehab.

Tiger Woods Slept On An Air Mattress After Elin Kicked Him Out Of The House

elinkids200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - After her husband's infidelity put their family under a media microscope back in November, Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren has done everything she can to stay focused on their children and get through this. Now we're hearing that Elin muscled Tiger out of the family home after the Thanksgiving incident, forcing him to stay at a friend's empty home with only an air mattress on the floor!

According to a source for Us Weekly, "When [Elin] kicked him out, he couldn't exactly go to a hotel, so he ran over to [pro golfer] Mark O'Meara's empty villa and stayed there. The house was gutted except for an air mattress, some pillows, a TV, snacks and Bud Light in the fridge, and a golf glove on the floor."

What Really Happened The Night Of Tiger Woods' Accident

tigersmashcar200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (California) - Daily Beast reporter Gerald Posner appeared on the Today Show this morning to discuss details about Tiger Woods' accident, and he has the scoop straight from two insiders close to the situation.

According to Posner's sources, the drama began when Tiger told Elin that the National Enquirer was going to run a story about his rumored affair with Rachel Uchitel. He promised Elin that the story was completely false, but Elin was skeptical, so the day before Thanksgiving Tiger put his mistress in touch with his wife and the two had a 30 minute chat. After the phone conversation, Elin apparently believed Tiger and Rachel's relationship was platonic.

However, on Thanksgiving day, Elin got more details about the Enquirer's story, and she started arguing with Tiger. Tiger wasn't in the mood to go through a verbal boxing match, so he reportedly took an Ambien to fall asleep. Elin then looked through Tiger's phone, where she found a text from Rachel that read, "You are the only one I've loved."

Just after 1am on November 27, Elin texted Rachel from Tiger's phone and wrote, "I miss you ... When are we seeing each other again?" Rachel texted back, at which point Elin called her and said something to the effect of, "I knew it was you," and a very surprised Rachel responded, "Oh f*ck!" and hung up.

An understandably livid Elin woke Tiger up by screaming at him and hitting him on the chest and arms with her fists. After Tiger was jerked out of his Ambien haze, Elin chased him from the house with a golf club. Tiger then ran outside the house and sped off in the family's black Cadillac Escalade, but he didn't get very far - after a few seconds of panic, he smashed into a fire hydrant and a tree, causing a significant amount of damage to the SUV.

According to Posner, no one really knows how the rear windows of the Escalade were broken, but one source says Tiger lied to the police and said Elin smashed them in an attempt to save him from the wreck.

One of the sources says Elin will wait for Tiger to finish sex rehab before making a final decision the divorce, and Us Weekly is reporting that the blonde beauty visited her adulterous husband at the Pine Grove rehab clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi over the weekend.

Tiger Woods Is Still The Highest Paid Athlete

tigergolfing200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Tiger Woods had an injury that sidelined him for 8 months and a highly publicized sex scandal, yet he's still the top earning athlete in the world.

According to Forbes, Tiger has earned $110 million during the past 12 months and is the highest paid sportsman for the eighth year in a row.

Tiger's knee injury caused his prize money to drop from $25 million from $5 million, but he only lost $5 million from his overall earnings due to his Gatorade drink and the success of Nike's golf division. Nike is still Tiger's biggest benefactor, paying him around $30 million a year.

Mercedes-Benz Will Continue To Support Tiger Woods' Charity

tigerpic.jpgLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (X17online) - Gatorade and AT&T are just a two of the companies that have ended their relationship with Tiger Woods, but Mercedes-Benz tells X17online.com they will continue to support the beleaguered golfer's charity, the Tiger Woods Foundation.

Mercedes has sponsored several championships in which Tiger has participated; however, the German auto manufacturer wants to make it clear that they did not hire Woods as a spokesperson to represent their brand, but rather supported the pro golfer's foundation supporting youth education through financial donations.

Mercedes-Benz tells X17online exclusively, "As far as we're concerned, Mercedes-Benz is still supportive of the Tiger Woods Foundation. We are not pulling our sponsorship. The foundation helps children and it's what we do with our brand."

Meanwhile, a source from within the company tells us: "The company wants the whole Tiger issue to go away. They don't want to be associated with this type of scandal."

Mercedes-Benz would not release information regarding the amount of their past donations to the Tiger Woods Foundation nor their plans for charitable grants this year.

Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress Doesn't Accept ESPN Apology

joslynjames200.jpgLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (X17online) - Tiger Woods apologized again on national television yesterday, but one of his alleged mistresses, Joslyn James, still isn't buying it. On both ESPN and The Golf Channel, Woods addressed numerous questions involving his infidelities.

However, Veronica Siwik-Daniels aka Joslyn James says that Tiger still owes her a personal apology for lying to her during their alleged three-year intimate relationship.

Veronica's lawyer, Gloria Allred, released the following statement:

    "Even though he has mouthed the words that he has taken responsibility, we ask where the actions are to support the words. For Veronica, there are none. Tiger Woods lied to Veronica when he told her that he loved her and that she was the only one other than his wife. He also lied to her when he told her that they would have a lifetime together. His words uttered yesterday are hollow because he has still not backed his words with a specific apology to Veronica whom he has hurt deeply. Until he does acknowledge his relationship with her and contacts her to apologize we are unable to believe that his apology is sincere.


Allred also made reference to the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step program saying "two of the important steps are to specifically apologize to the individuals whom the alcoholic has hurt."

Tiger Woods Makes Over $90 Million Despite Scandal

tiger200.jpgLOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Many feared Tiger Woods would be left in the dust by sponsors in light of last year's infidelity scandal, but it appears the golfing champion still managed to rake in 90.5 million in 2009-2010.

Several companies did drop him, causing him to lose over $22 million, but that barely made a dent in his overall earnings. Tiger still managed to earn $70 million in endorsements and over $20 million in golf winnings.

In comparison, the previous year, he brought in $92 million in endorsement money. The golfer in second place ... Phil Mickelson with over $61 million.

ORLANDO, Florida (X17online) - A nurse who was fired for looking at pro golfer Tiger Woods’ medical records in the days after his November 2009 car crash has filed a $400,000 suit against Health Central, an Orlando-area hospital, for defamation.

David M. Rothenberg is asking for a letter from hospital officials explaining he was fired based on circumstantial evidence. Officials say they fired the RN in December for using his computer to look at Woods’ records three times over a 10-minute period.

Rothenberg faces losing his nursing license because of the allegations, which he denies.

Tiger Woods Dropped By Luxury Watchmaker TAG Heuer

TigerWoods080811.jpgNEW YORK, New York (X17online) - Tiger Woods has lost his sixth corporate sponsor.

Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer ended its endorsement deal with Woods after his contract expired in July, according to Bloomberg. Woods' agent Mark Steinberg confirmed the news.

Woods has also been dropped by AT&T, Accenture, Gatorade, Gillette and Golf Digest within the last two years. He has retained deals with Electronic Arts, Nike, Upper Deck, NetJets and TLC Vision Corp.

TAG Heuer originally signed Woods in 2002 and had already limited their use of the golfer's image after his November 2009 car accident and admission of infidelity. His professional life has also suffered over the last few years, as Woods has not won a tournament since the 2009 Australian Masters.
