Jane Atkinson and James Desborough of NEWS OF THE WORLD reports for the publication’s Sunday edition:

TIGER Woods paid HALF A MILLION dollars - around £300,000 - to buy the silence of a blonde British mum who has been his secret mistress for 18 months. The cheating golf superstar fixed the golden kiss-off for Emma Rotherham to set her up for life after she vowed NEVER to talk about their torrid fling.
The stunning 42-year-old mother of two - the 19th Tiger conquest revealed so far and the image of his wife Elin - was given the fortune in CASH. One of the love rat’s security team handed over the money in a sports bag stuffed with $100 bills.
The Brit tab claims Rotherham “was his most recent mistress. They had a very, very passionate relationship and she has dozens of text messages and emails from him. Some were even sent while Tiger was trying to patch things up with his wife Elin.”
Don’t worry, NOTW also has details dredged from the too-much-information dept.
As she lived near his Florida home in Isleworth she was always on call. They were at it all the time. Emma said Tiger was a great lover. But he never wore a condom, and she didn’t take any precautions.
The tab reports that Rotherham moved to Florida after her youngest daughter, 16, “finished primary school in London.” Rotherham also has a 25-year-old daughter.
She allegedly met Woods at his local Orlando haunt, the Blue Martini, in May, 2008.
Eventually Woods allegedly invited Rotherham to his office and had sex with her on the couch. The affair continued with more early morning sex sessions in the same location.
Woods also allegedly flew her in for a PGA Tour Stop:
Woods even arranged for Emma to fly to Michigan last August where he was competing in the Buick Open tournament. There he introduced Emma to drug-fuelled sex.
Our source said: “They both took the relaxant Ambien before making love. Emma was a bit hesitant but Tiger persuaded her and she said the sex was mind-blowing.
“They were at it all night. She was surprised he had the energy left to play a round of golf. But he went on to win the tournament!”
Emma stayed at Woods’ hotel but in a room reserved for his personal doctor. Our source added: “It was just along the corridor from Tiger’s room and she’d sneak down there to have sex.
The News of the World also claims to describe what Woods did to cover up his alleged relationship with Rotherham after his car accident:
A security specialist contacted Emma and arranged for a black Mercedes, with darkened windows, to whisk her away. She was driven more than 200 miles to the luxury Ritz-Carlton hotel in the beach resort Naples. A minder gave Emma an envelope containing £28,000 pocket money which he said Tiger had laid on to keep her going.
Emma’s two-night stay was paid for by the security team and booked under their name. One agent said that while there Emma had several phone conversations with Woods. She was told to stay in her room and out of sight, fearing the media was on her trail.
Emma then moved to a rented villa on the Bay Hill golf resort near Woods’ home and was in constant contact with him.
Our insider said: “Emma was living like someone in witness protection, always looking over her shoulder, and being checked on by two security guys. But Tiger assured her he would sort her out.”
Finally, Woods allegedly instructed one of his handlers to pay Rotherham $500,000 for her silence. Though the NOTW reports that when a member of Woods security team demanded her cell phone, which contained numerous text messages to the golfer, she refused.
I’d like to heartily congratulate the people of England for now sharing intimately in this unceasingly delight of a story. And many cheers for News of the World for doing its part to keep the seemingly brain dead patient on life support.
9:11 pm on January 23rd, 2010
Lucky bitch!! 28,000 pocket money plus 500 stacks for silence. I lived right next door to that Ritz Carlton in Naples last year. i’ve probably seen this skank before. I should’ve robbed her ass with all that cash on her…lol
9:35 pm on January 23rd, 2010
So she accepted the $500k hush money but then still broke her silence? Why do uber-rich people continue to do such a thing if there are no consequences of squelching?
10:43 pm on January 23rd, 2010
not $28000 American….those are pounds. that’s around $50k American. she was making bank just to keep her mouth shut. apparently she’s bad at following directions.
11:20 pm on January 23rd, 2010
She’s old and needs a face lift and breast implants ASAP.
11:54 pm on January 23rd, 2010
Now that is why he’s the greatest ever. Can hit it all night and still go out and win a tournament.
12:43 am on January 24th, 2010
Who gives a fuc*?

“The stunning 42-year-old mother of two” What, we must be looking at different people.
He definitely doesnt discriminate. 19yr old hooters waitresses, 32yr old call girl/madam, butt ugly perkins hostesses, pornstars, 48yr old fitness instructor, and now 42yr old mother. Wow! There are not enough hours in the day to keep up with that many women. Imagine how many more tournaments Tiger could have won had he spent half as much time working on his golf game as he did chasing women around.
2:29 am on January 24th, 2010
these white girls prey after the rich listen men black ,white or what ever race you are leave these girls alone they aint worth shit
2:31 am on January 24th, 2010
not one sister yet damn
4:24 am on January 24th, 2010
I am a cougar and made love Tiger . How do I get paid for closing my lips and wait for my income to come in.? How many Bimbo’s are going to came crawling under the woodwork and say they had an affair with Tiger? Leave the poor guy alone along with his wife. Yes he was a jerk and she didn’t deserve any of this. Stop making things up!
6:38 am on January 24th, 2010
whore, i think somebody should rape her for backstabbing Tiger. Get a life who cares about it. Woods is the best. I wonder who wanted to set up T. Woods like this?
BUT HE STILL WON THE MATCH LIKE SHE SAID. :D:D:D:D
7:34 am on January 24th, 2010
How much was this slut paid to make up this story?
7:39 am on January 24th, 2010
At the Country Club I belong to, after a round of golf we retire to the 19th hole for a beer. Shouldn’t she be lable as the 19th Ho?
8:43 am on January 24th, 2010
Brings a whole new image to the 19th hole.
9:05 am on January 24th, 2010
Why don’t you third rate media vultures find some real shit to report about. Nobody gives a shit anymore. You are also showing how weak and pathetic you are by continuing to try and kick a man while he is down. If you want any respect at all, now would be the time to shut the fuck up.
9:59 am on January 24th, 2010
I REALLY feel sorry for his caddy having to carry ALL those women around, ya know?…
10:01 am on January 24th, 2010
Smokified - I thought it was a first rate story and I do “give a shit anymore.” You obviously do to if you are taking the time to read it AND make comment. If Tiger would man-up and not continue to try to lie, cheat, etc. it would all go away. Fair or not, he knows the rules to the game. It’s nobody’s fault but his own.
10:47 am on January 24th, 2010
I am amazed at the “kiss and tell” mentality of these women. They all claim to have a great relationship with Tiger yet have no problem throwing him under the bus. Yes, what Tiger did was wrong, so wrong but no more wrong than every woman who had an affair with him. They all knew he was married and they were all a party to helping him cheat. Scum meets scum.
It is obvious that all the women he had affairs with lack pride, integrity and class.
11:01 am on January 24th, 2010
ya, because there is no such thing as a black gold digger lmao

What does Tiger have against breasts?
I ain’t saying she a gold digga’ — but she ain’t hangin’ with no broke ….
11:47 am on January 24th, 2010
Do you really think Tiger would go with someone that ugly, give me a break. I don’t think he even gave her a second look. It must have been just for sex and money.
11:54 am on January 24th, 2010
Does anybody really care about Tiger and this stuff anymore? The media seems to be the only ones who care! When there is a lull in stories like Haiti or the “great” Scott Brown win in Massachusetts this week they go back to Tiger. Tiger skrewed up bad no doubt but let him fix it and come to grips with it! I guess nobldy reading or writing about this ever made a mistake in their like! As the Bible says; take the log out of your own eye so you can see clearly. Media - leave Tiger alone and start looking at the people in the US Congress and Senate that are bringing down AMERICA!
12:28 pm on January 24th, 2010
Tiger is a dirt bag!!!
12:36 pm on January 24th, 2010
Whatever Tiger did wrong or right the only man he has to answer too is GOD. So everybody let GOD handle Tiger,and let us as humans that make mistakes leave him alone.
1:07 pm on January 24th, 2010
What in the world has this got to do with sports? Has the National Inquirer bought out FOX Sports? Let Tiger be and focus on Sports or change the sites name to Fox Gossip.
1:39 pm on January 24th, 2010
Smokified writes … “You are also showing how weak and pathetic you are by continuing to try and kick a man while he is down” … that’s funny, as I believe that it’s always been Tiger’s motto “to knick’em when they’re down” ? … oh, I get it ! … you should only kick “other” people when they’re down … when you yourself are down, well that’s different, and the kicking must stop immediately … makes sense to me, you ass-licking, hypocritical, excrement !
2:21 pm on January 24th, 2010
This women looks old as hell.
4:31 pm on January 24th, 2010
People,people…stop being serious about this.Bring on the comedy,this isn’t World War 3,lighten up.Tiger is here for our amusement.Next month,it will be someone else.That said,this broad is Rusty Trombone material.(That is,she licks your sphincter while jacking you off,so that it looks like she’s playing a rusty trombone.)
4:41 pm on January 24th, 2010
Honest to God people….do you really believe her? Another “British tabloid” discovery. Why do they call these women mistress’? Definition ” mistress is a man’s long-term female lover and companion who is not married to him, especially used when the man is married to another woman. These women are paid hookers who are one night stands and if they think that makes them special…how sad. He doesn’t even remember you….get a life and get a clue.
7:49 pm on January 24th, 2010
Actually, this sounds fairly plausible. She was conveniently available and willing.
She has something, probably a sense of attention to him. Many really hot chicks are a total pain in the ass; she probably made him the center of attention, not herself. All of these Tiger rumors say that the guy was actually a pretty good lay.
Heck, if you’re a horny chick and most of your partners have been bad in bed, wouldn’t a great lay actually be something worth considering while you’re waiting for “the one”?
11:39 pm on January 24th, 2010
Too bad Tiger, with that much money, you might as well paid your security team to escort her tied-up ugly ass in a Honda CR-V and drive the car off a bridge. That’s half a million dollars of endorsement money less to pay your wife after your perfect marriage hits the threshold mark and she leaves you.
2:40 am on January 25th, 2010
Hope Tiger gets his money back (all of $528,000). BEEAATCHHH didn’t keep her end of the deal. By the way, she looks like crap. Tiger can do a lot better for a lot less than $528K. She belongs at a Motel 6 or a Days-Inn, not at the Ritz-Carlton.
5:06 am on January 25th, 2010
who cares, Tigers got millions to help ease his pain. let the man have his whores and money. this so yesterday

He and Serena Williams need to make a sex video and call it “just doing it”. I am guessing that big black buck might meet his match in the sack if he hooked up with her.

Forget her, Hey, Buick people, I play golf ,Won some Majors at my club, and i don’t chase Women. I think you should look MY WAY for sponsors. I would be delighted and VERY PROUD to display one of your vehicles in and around town. CALL ME
2:56 pm on January 25th, 2010
The real scandal to me is that people actually like to watch golf and these guys get paid millions to play it. Golf is as boring as watching flies f*ck!

Why did the Ukitel-all woman think she had it serious with Ambien man when he had this Brit cougar by the tail at the same time?
4:16 pm on January 25th, 2010

God bless. This one is butt ugly. Tiger seems to be the victim of everyones 15 minutes of fame.
4:36 pm on January 25th, 2010

why dont they come up with some proof
11:51 am on January 26th, 2010
why doesnt some smart lawyer find away to sue all mistresses who think that it is okay to mess up a family and start to assess some financial penalties that the spouse can get from the alleged homebreakers, it is getting out of hand from senators, presidents, mayors, governors, and even sportsman
1:07 pm on January 26th, 2010
if you are British and have straight teeth….your stunning.

He just needs to come public and clean. State that he loved to have sex with many woman of all types, was young and unhappy in marriage physically. Give more details even more names. Then the story is over in 2 days. His silence keeps it going perpetually. The worse part about it to his wife is these were not one night stands, but actual long term over a year relationships. Could you imagine the one night stand numbers??
Just come clean. 99% of all men would love to have sex with many attractive woman. The ugliest woman on his list is even doable after a couple of beers. These girls were obviously kept around for their “talent” in the bedroom. Tiger liked it rough and kinky. Its actually hard for a man to have sex with his wife rough and kinky after she gives birth to his child. Something about F-ing changes after childbirth.
I have spoken.
3:38 pm on January 26th, 2010
Tiger would screw anything with a hole. He is a complete utter moron.
11:36 pm on January 26th, 2010
I don’t belive that Tiger had it in him to rotate this many women. He is super human but this is just way too much BS for my blood.
I am sure 50+ more beoches will come out of the woodwork with faked emails and text msgs claiming to have F’d him, but if I were a betting man I would bet the farm that there were maybe 3-5 legitimate sluts in his stable.
Just my opinion, but I deal with this type of shit everyday in my practice and find that 75% of those who claim to have done the deed are just wanna bees.
3:32 am on January 27th, 2010
All of this is comical. The following are Facts:
1. Tiger is the best Golfer EVER
2. Tiger can take off as much time as he wants..he is still #1
3. The rest of the PGA Tour has about another 60 days
4. When Tiger returns..He will be a MACHINE
Oh, one last thing, if Tiger is finished with golf HE CAN ALWAYS BE A PORN STAR!
12:52 pm on January 27th, 2010
The longer he is gone and as the list of alleged mistresses grows, I miss him less and less.
2:34 pm on January 27th, 2010
A man was pulled alive from the rubble in Haiti after 14 days of being buried in the debris! Now, that’s a story worth reading!
This sorry saga has been played out across the globe for far too long, and should now come to an end. Unfortunately, however, I know that when the tabloids and entertainment TV shows run short of gossip to report. If Tiger used a quarter of the time and energy he spent on these women to further refine his game, he might have won many more tournaments.
It must really piss off his PGA competitors to have to acknowledge that Tiger was beating their behinds with all this drama and these many diversions going on in his life.
DAMN! Great golfer and a great lover with sustaining power! Now that’s really a Tiger!
6:23 pm on January 27th, 2010
Why does everybody who claim to be golf fans worry that golf is going to miss Tiger and the tour will not be the same without him…the tour has done quite well without Arnie, Jack, Gary and Lee and with all the young guys on the way up, Michael, Rory, etc, etc. and etc., it won’t be long before another super star will be born and we will be cheering for them to beat Tiger, if he does return.
hotdoug
10:15 am on January 28th, 2010
The real joke about all of this is as follows. A very large number of folks are complaining about the media hounds picking on Tiger. The reason the media hounds publish the crap is because people read the crap. So if you want them to stop writing it, QUIT reading it. It is just that simple.
11:37 pm on January 29th, 2010
tiger is a great golfer. all he needs to do is come back, say he screwed up and now let’s talk about golf. that is period. the longer he waits, the more difficult it’s going to be. i’m sorry this happened, but the only one who is going fix this is tiger, by showing up…..
11:05 pm on February 15th, 2010
Let me see the list of the woman he did not screw.
8:59 am on February 16th, 2010
He obviously has sex-issues… But these ugly white women obviously have no self respect.
9:55 am on February 16th, 2010
That’s just it. No matter how much you hate on Tiger, he doesn’t have to do anything. The players are feeling it, because the sponsorships are down, attendance is down, and therefore, the purses are down. Tiger is worth several hundred millions of dollars, even if his wife took half, he would not be hurt. He grew up with his father, and wants his children to have both parents, and they will. He will continue to ho around like most people, and say they don’t when most marriages end in divorce, and most people have more than one relationship in their life. You are angry because he will not bow. I will be angry if he does bow. Right now he is as Jordan was after the gambling incident, he has more than he needs, and he owes the public no thing. No explanation, no apology, no excuse, no thing. So I say bravo Mr. Woods. Keep treating hoes like hoes. Enjoy the advantages that peoples obsession with a stupid game has afforded you, and live your life. Everyone can talk, but you all assume that you hurt the man. Any man who is a man about what he does, is not concerned about the public after he is caught, but about those close to him. He hid it to keep it from his wife, not you.
10:57 am on February 16th, 2010
Tiger definitely has a sexual addiction problem. I doubt very seriously he’ll be able to maintain sobriety unless he acquires a accountability partner or sponsor as A.A. calls it. Sexual addiction is more powerful than any drug addiction on the planet. The Reds a few years back had a full-time 24 hour around the clock accountability partner for Hamilton. Tiger needs to do some research and inguire about hiring someone who is knowledgeable about the topic, been there, done that and succeeded in maintaining sobriety. This disease is destroying families and individuals everywhere. Everyone connected to Tiger suffers here including Tiger. The shame, guilt and worthlessness that is associated with this disease is overwhelming and increases with each incident of acting out occurs and as time passes. Elin and their children are the innocent ones here. If I were Tiger, I’d fire everyone associated with him who knew what he was doing and attempted to cover it up for him. Why? Because I hired them to protect me and speak the truth to me, not to assist me in destroying myself. For there’s too many cameras and too much media out there regardless of the amount of money one has to keep this type of behavior secret.
10:58 am on February 16th, 2010
Tiger is just another low life Pro. His family comes second which is why a woman should never marry someone who thinks more of himself then family. Low life, grat Golfer but another lost man. what a joke of a role model.
12:07 pm on February 16th, 2010
what no one thinks about is while Tiger was out having unprotected sex with numerous sluts, while Elin is home being true to her husband and raising a family, he could have and may very well have brought her home std’s (with all of this talk of unprotected sex.) I think Tiger is a selfish husband who doesn’t deserve such a beautiful woman and glad to hear she is choosing to be apart from him. She is the one that got kicked so quit feeling sorry for the cheating, lying, selfish asshole. It all comes down to respect and what a poor role model for his children. It would be hard to ever trust someone who did that to you for so many years. Trust is the foundation for a solid marriage. Good luck Elin! May you have all the support and love you need right now and hope you find someone to treat you with the love and respect you deserve.
12:16 pm on February 16th, 2010
she is gonna need Magic Johnson money to cure her from the present he probably already gave her. God dont like ugly! Husbands are off limits! even if he is Tiger Woods.

3:17 pm on February 16th, 2010
For me, there’s one glaring red flag about her story. I take Ambien on occasion myself and know the effects. Tiger might have developed a resistance to it, but if this woman wasn’t used to taking it, there’s no way in hell they would have been awake all night having sex - or if there was, she wouldn’t remember it. People tend to do things in their sleep while they’re on Ambien - witness Patrick Kennedy driving a car in Washington at 3 a.m. because he thought he had to be at a meeting. But the one thing they’re NOT going to do is stay awake for any length of time.
6:43 pm on February 17th, 2010
He who is without sin needs to cast the first stone. Judge not and ye shall not be judge. God is the only judge. The bible says it not me.
11:44 pm on February 17th, 2010
Am I looking at he same pictures of this woman as the rest of you? The quality is poor, I don’t see much in the way of make-up or signs of a recent hairstyling and I think she is as naturally pretty, if not prettier, than all the rest of them save for Urchitel. Get real.
Where does it say that it was she who leaked this information? That’s doubtful. The income taxes on windfall cash earnings in the UK make ours pale by comparison–furthermore, she is a married mother of two. I rather doubt she wanted this out in the open any more than Tiger and his camp.
His generosity sure runs hot and cold, man … three years into their relationship, Ms. Jungers asked him for help with the security deposit on her new apartment (not an unreasonable request between friends) and he flatly refused, saying that he couldn’t believe she would have asked him that.
These pay-offs were all conspiracies to avoid the truth. As my dear old Dad used to say, the only thing worse than lying is asking someone else to lie for you. As usual, Pop was right.
I used to be a big Tiger booster. He wasn’t up on any nearby pedestals, but I found the image he protected to be refreshing and fell for it hook, line and sinker.
He will always be the best to have ever played the game but his good name is forever gone. The vowels and consonants that spelled T-i-g-e-r W-o-o-d-s have been reduced to just a messy stain.
10:44 pm on February 18th, 2010
F*** all you judgemental bastards. Tiger Woods is a golfer not Jesus Christ. If you idiots fell for the BS and bought everthing the greatest golfer advertised blame yourselves for being an A** to the corporate world who got you suckers for falling for the okie dokie.
Tiger will be judged by the being that will judge us all. The media is like Tiger fell whores looking for a story. Tiger plays golf. I want to see Tiger play golf. If Tiger was a porno star and I wanted to see Tiger bang whores I would order that S*** on pay per view.
If his wife can overlook 15 B****** who the F*** are we. GOLF B******. I want to see the best kicking that azz every MF week
11:56 am on February 19th, 2010
Elin is just as bad as the other women in Tiger’s life. Think about it, Elin was a super model (big money)and she quit to take a nanny’s job (baby sitter ?) for Jasper and his wife. Why wouold a super model want to be a nanny unless she had other plans. Soon after she asked Jasper to introduce her to Tiger, seems like she had a plan to get some easy money before she even met Tiger. Jasper should have seen the motive if he wasn’t involved with the scheme himself. You do notice that he was quick to break bad on Tiger, some friend. I feel Elin set up Tiger for his money. Tiger just made it easy for her.
5:19 pm on February 19th, 2010
As the old saying goes…you can’t disprove a negative. A more likely scenario is none of the women received a dime more than what they received at the time of the act. BTW has anyone asked the Brit if she paid taxed on that phantom money. In any event all claimers are entitled to their 15 minutes of fame. Let the ladies have a little fun. If sticking it to Tiger a little bit for personal gain can help the economy in some small way, I say go for it. But ladies, don’t get crazy now with your increases in price for pleasure. most of us self respecting married men clients who pay your bills have families to care for back home (LOL).
10:42 pm on February 19th, 2010
They need to pass a law that says if a woman has an affair with a man and she profits from selling her story, all the money goes to the wife. The slut shouldn’t keep a cent. You’ll see how fast these gold diggers go away. Tiger definately did wrong and is paying the price for his mistakes while these highclass prostitutes are becoming rich by telling their stories. Its sickening to see. As far as the paparazzi is concerned ,they should ship them all to a remote island and nuke it. Jesus once said, “Let he without sin cast the first stone”.
