Daily Mail: Tiger Woods cheated on Lindsey Vonn with a random, he had a relapse

Tiger Jam 2014
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.
