Tiger Woods: The ‘Love Child’ Is Identified And Theresa Rogers Speaks: In Pictures

TIGER Woods: With Theresa Rogers…, Jessica Simpson, a “love child”, a “sham marriage” and a golf award after a dark…

The more Jessica Simpson says he has not have sex with Tiger Woods, let alone even flirt with him, the more the newspapers show an interest. After the Mail questioned readers about the allegation, the Star now asks:

“DID RANDY TIGER PLAY ROUND WITH JESSICA?”

No. Next! Here’s Theresa Rogers…

She just wanted to be the woman who schooled Tiger in the bedroom,” a pal reportedly said of the much older woman.

Tiger Woods Should Fear Arrest At His Dubai Golf Course

IN Dubai, infidelity is a crime, earning the miscreant you a jail sentence. The sheiks of Dubai hate extra-marital sex. So what news then of the Tiger Woods golf course in this oasis of sand and builders’ dust? Tiger Woods Dubai says:

Tiger Woods: A Dirty Habit, Cartoons And Sex

TIGER Woods: What next for Tiger Woods? After the car crash we wondered if Woods was alright. After the women, we wondered if they were a bit of alright? Now the Sun tells us:

“TIGER CRACKS UP.”

He’s gone crackers?

TIGER Woods is close to “cracking up” after “spending days alone watching cartoons and eating cereal.”

So, not cracked up, but close to? Maybe those cartoons remind him of the shape of women he likes, allegedly?

Woods is thought to be holed up in one of his two Florida homes and cannot even watch his favourite sports channel – as it carries regular updates on his romps with up to 11 lovers.

Tiger Woods And Theresa Rogers’ Lips In Photos: Woods Puts Family First ‘Always’

TIGER Woods: Theresa Rogers is not only a victim of nominative determinism, she is Theresa Rogers…Tiger Woods, allegedly. Suspension points are Tiger Woods’ hyphen. Jaimee Grubbs…Tiger Woods. Jamie Jungers…Tiger Woods. Cori Rist…Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods and his women are coining a new language of their own. But above all Tiger Woods is a family man. The Mail leads with a picture of Elin Woods and Sam Woods, the Tiger cub, and the headline: “Look what you’ve put at risk, Tiger.” The same picture is used by the Express on its front page to reveal the “courage of Tiger’s wife” (there are ad deals in the offing for Elin – see them here).

Woods is damned by an interview recorded 10 days before ring-waiting Elin used her Kobe grip on  his glass screen. The interviewer asked: “Family first and golf second – always been that way?” Woods fell into the elephant trap: “Always. Always.” Here are pictures of Theresa Rogers, 48, and her lips and the other women linked to Tiger Woods…

Tiger Woods: Three More Fail To Deny Sex With Woods

TIGER Woods is the topic of much thrashing about in the forums: – none of the people below have publicly denied shagging Tiger Woods:

THE newspapers never told Eleanor Roosevelt President Roosevelt had mistresses and, in fact, was with one when he died. They never told Jackie Kennedy John Kennedy had a woman made available everywhere he went and had threesomes in the White House swimming pool. That was all public knowledge but the press kept their noses out of it and didn’t run the stories – Cheryl

HEARD the phrase absolute power corrupts absolutely? The same adage works if you use absolute fame. Tiger Woods is/was a supreme athlete at the top of his game. He was the prowling, fittest and toughest bear on the block. What he lacked was the ability to handle or control himself out of competition.

BBC To Broadcast Tiger Woods Sex Tape

TIGER Woods: The National Enquirer says the “new nightmare for Tiger Woods is…

“SEX TAPE & LOVE CHILDREN”

At least with a sex tape, Peter Alliss and other droning voices of BBC golf will be able to provide commentary. Finally they can break through the mask of fake conviviality and tuck in.

The consensus in the studio will be that this is what happens when you let women into the trophy room on Tuesday mornings. It’s a slippery slope from a golf club Ladies’ Day to hardcore sex on the 18th fairway. It’s inevitable.

Tiger Woods Goes Shopping For A New Ring For Elin?

triger-woods-ringTIGER Woods: Meanwhile the Woods wife, Elin Nordegren, has been spotted without her wedding ring. The Sun wonders:

The former model was spotted at a petrol station near her Florida home with her gold band and solitaire engagement ring missing from the third finger of her left hand. The missing rings add to increasing speculation that the 29-year-old is on the verge of walking away from her five-year marriage.

Does it? Old Mrs Anorak tells us that the removal of a huge diamond ring is best explained by Elin making room for an even more gigantic rock.The Kobe Ring 2 is beaing hewn as we speak…

Tiger Woods In Pictures: Cori Rist Confesses And A Big NBC Today Show Fail

TIGER Woods and the women: We turn now to hear from “gorgeous” Cori Rist, billed as single mum who having met the golfer in a New York night claims to have shagged him while he was sending text messages to other women.

After Mindy Lawton, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin, Jamie Jungers, Rachel Uchitel, Holly Sampson and Josyln James work the media, Cori Rist has been keeping a dignified silence. Now she breaks and tells NBC’s Today show:

“I’d wake up in the night and he would be texting. I’d ask him what he was doing and he would say he was answering emails. I had this feeling, I knew it was something bigger.”

Tiger Woods: After Jaimee Grubbs, Jamie Jungers, Rachel Uchitel, Holly Sampson And Josyln James Meet Dina Gravell-Parr

TIGER Woods: After Mindy Lawton, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin, Jamie Jungers, Rachel Uchitel, Cori Rist, Holly Sampson and Josyln James meet Dina Gravell-Parr.

No word yet from Katie Price on how she didn’t shag Tiger Woods, but we do hear from Dina Gravell-Parr, 34, who met golfer Woods in a high school accounting class. He was 16. She was 17.

The image of Woods as the dullest man in the world may yet be restored. Says Dina Gravell-Parr – more nominative determinsm:

“At the end of the night I had to ask him ‘Well, was that a date?’ He was all shy and embarrassed. As we said goodbye, it was really awkward.”

The Real Reason Tiger Woods Quit Golf

tiger-woods2WANT to know why Tiger Woods has quit golf? Anorak’s Man in LA knows:

TIGER Woods could have avoided most all of this mess if he had only gotten in front of the story and changed the headline as soon as the corporate gossip site TMZ started posting unfounded rumours and conjecture that odds indicated would pay off (every tabloid journo had already figured that a two a.m. front yard car wreck and a National Enquirer front page mistress story added up to a scuffle with the missus– the only problem was confirming it, a slight nuisance that CNN’s sluttier cousin has a history of ignoring) and mainstream organizations began treating it conveniently as fact.

Sad that a billionaire corporate sports star doesn’t have the advisers or organization to handle a simple problem like that– let alone an understanding with a former nanny wife from who he’s separated for probably six months out of the year.

In Pictures: Ryan Giggs Beats Tiger Woods To Win BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2009

RYAN Giggs wins the 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Jenson Button is the runner-up with Jessica Ennis in third. In the Sports Personality Award of the Year little stock is placed on the winner’s personality. Personality is BBC for “unisex” and “celebrity”. Says Ryan Giggs, the best football to ever play in the Premier League: “That is a big shock, I’d like to thank the BBC for putting on a brilliant night and everyone who has voted for me.” Imagine what jungle Jimmy White would have said, or Tiger Woods? Keep trying Tiger.  In pictures:

In Pictures: Liverpool 1 Arsenal 2, Premier League

ARSENAL beat Liverpool 2-1 in the Premier Lague. Can the Gunners win the title? Can Liverpool win a match? We’ve got the pictures of the game as it happens. The season is – oh, shock of shocks – interesting. But wait a moment. The January transfer window is opening and Chelsea are going to spend tens and tens and tens of millions of pounds in making the Premier League predictable once more. Stop them. Somebody stop them! No, not Man City’s mega-rich owners – someone likeable…

Tiger Woods Threesome Pictures: Jamie Jungers, Janine Jungers Woods And Tiger’s Dying Father

TIGER Woods: Another day and another chance to hear from Jamie Jungers, who not too long ago  was keen to tell us that she not received a penny – not a cent – for shagging and then talking about Tiger Woods. As she says in the papers:

“He’s a cheap f***er and he just didn’t want to help me.”

Today, Jamie is on the cover of the NoTW, illustrating the story “TIGER ON The RACK“. So vital is Jamie Jungers to the narrative that the NoTW decided to rename her Janine Jungers, to save any confusion with demure Jaimee Grubbs.

Star bedded Janine Jungers as father lay dying in hospital…

TREACHEROUS Tiger Woods romped with a mistress in his marital bed on the night his beloved father died.

Premier League In Pictures: Spurs 0 – Wolves 1

TOTTENHAM Hotspur 0 – Wolverhampton Wanderers 1. Spurs are one of the few things that can be relied upon in the Premier League to do exactly what you expect them to do. Each year Spurs spend shed loads of money on established players. They then shove the names into a box and set about picking XI to form a team. It’s Tombola football. Sometimes the team wins. Sometimes the team loses. And with every turn Harry Redknapp is just one ticket short of having the winning formula. If only he had more money to spend…

THE Premier League is more open than Tiger Woods’ menu at the Birdie And Hole gastropub. Chelsea were yet again unable to win, allowing a feisty Everton to come twice from behind to draw 3-3 at the Bridge. Can Chelsea be caught at the top of the league. Yes.
