FAIRWAY TO GO

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.

It followed an incredible cloak and dagger operation orchestrated by 34-year-old Woods to stop curvy Emma being identified as one of his harem.

But a source close to Tiger told the News of the World: "Emma 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.

"If those came out they'd bury him. He absolutely adored Emma and loved the sex. So did she.

"And 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.

Tiger Woods' secret British mistress Emma Rotherham

"The 500 grand has now bought Emma's silence and she has signed a confidentiality agreement. She's very happy and walking round with a big grin on her face - like the cat that got the cream."

PARTY GIRL - Emma met Tiger in club

Woods - the world's richest sportsman - kept in constant contact with Emma as he announced that he was trying to be a "better husband" to wife Elin Nordegren. All the time he was desperately trying to ensure she'd never hear about Emma, who has a daughter of 16 and another of 25.

But today the News of the World reveals all - how sex addict Woods:

ROMPED with Emma at least once a week on his office sofa.

PLEADED for saucy photos of her in stockings and suspenders.

DEMANDED she wear a wedding ring to stop men hitting on her.

REVELLED in drug-fuelled sex sessions at a top golf tournament.

Emma moved to Florida four years ago after her youngest daughter finished primary school in London but regularly flies back to visit her mum and sister.

She first met Woods at his favourite hunting ground for women, Orlando's Blue Martini club, in May 2008. Her fabulous figure inside a tight black jump suit caught Woods' roving eye.

Our source said: "Tiger couldn't keep his eyes off her butt. Everyone in the room knew what was going to happen sooner or later. He sat next to her most of the evening. You could see he was making a play for her. Emma speaks very well with a posh English accent. And Tiger loved it. He thought she sounded classy and sexy."

WALKING AWAY - Emma with her dog near her Florida home

The pair exchanged phone numbers at the end of the evening. Days later Woods contacted Emma by text and they agreed to meet at his office in Windermere.

Our insider told us: "Nothing major happened, just some kissing and fondling. But by the third meeting she and Tiger had sex on the couch. She said it was 'awesome'."

Emma made no secret of her affair. Woods asked her not to tell anyone but she couldn't resist boasting about her celebrity lover.

Emma got regular text messages from Woods asking her to send teasing lingerie snaps and saying: "I miss you baby."

Our source said: "Emma has a killer body and Tiger was smitten. He was always asking for sexy photos and loved her to dress in black stockings and suspenders."

Woods would also text Emma to complain about his 30-year-old wife. One message said: "Having bad day - Elin being cranky." On other occasions he'd talk about his family life. One text said: "On daddy duty today."

Woods tried to meet Emma at his office at least once a week for early morning sex - even while Elin was pregnant with son Charlie, now 11 months old.

Our source told us: "The dates were always very early in the morning - before Tiger started his golf practice.

PREFERS BLONDES - Tiger with wife Elin

"Emma would meet him at the office and they'd get straight down to it. Sometimes she'd complain that she wanted more from the relationship, but she wasn't interested in becoming the next Mrs Tiger Woods."

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.

"Tiger was so smitten he became very controlling and hated the thought of other men chatting Emma up. He suggested she wear a wedding ring to put them off.

DECEIVED - Elin was pregnant when Tiger had sex with Emma

"And he'd text to demand a photo of what outfit she was wearing for a night out. If he thought it was too revealing he'd get jealous and text back, 'You can't wear that.' Emma ignored him but it showed he thought he was in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

Woods often suggested they go back to his £1.7million home when Elin was away visiting family in Sweden with baby Charlie and two-year-old daughter Sam. But Emma always refused.

Friends say that until recently she believed she was Woods' only steady girlfriend. Then came the infamous car crash outside his home, sparking days of revelations about other women in his life, including party girl Rachel Uchitel, local waitress Mindy Lawton, porn star Holly Sampson, model Jamie Jungers and escort Loredana Jolie.

Emma sent a panicky text to Woods, who replied: "Don't contact me. Elin is going through everything." Then the News of the World discovered the truth about Emma and she called Woods who told her he would "sort it out".

Our source said: "He told Emma to get out of town, he'd deal with it and not to worry."

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.

Our source said: "Emma was completely freaking out and didn't want to be away from her teenage daughter. She told Tiger she would NEVER talk about their affair, but that she had to get back home to sort out her life."

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."

Before Christmas Emma returned to her home in the Disney dream town Celebration and a week after New Year she received her final text message from Woods, telling her to meet up with one of his security team.

It was there she was handed the $500,000. The agent tried to get Emma to hand over her mobile phone holding the texts from Woods but she refused.

Our source added: "Emma has tried to contact Tiger since but hasn't heard back. And I doubt she ever will. She was pretty confident her secret would never get out but there are just too many people who knew about the affair."

Our revelations will come as yet another shock to Wood's devastated wife who is standing by him through therapy for sex addiction.

He checked into Pine Grove Behavioural Health and Addiction Services clinic in Mississippi on December 30. But the course's crunch "Disclosure Day" is yet to come when Woods will be forced to face his wife and admit in painful detail every sexual dalliance.

Today that scorecard just increased by one.

She is SO ugly!

By M.. Posted March 10 2010 at 10:03 PM.

The dating world is not safe for single ladies.

It is full of predators i.e. married men looking for affairs.

True love wait. - self control is the key

By andrew smith.. Posted March 3 2010 at 3:18 PM.

none look as good as Elin sorry

By ray.. Posted February 27 2010 at 4:09 AM.

Personally I am not a fan of Tiger.
He is an Alpha male. His golf success comes from the same place he has success with women - Drive.
You can't have one without the other.

By Mira.. Posted February 14 2010 at 1:52 PM.

This british woman is very very very ugly and the body of an old woman.

A lack of character is why men or women cheat.
Selfishness is at the root of all infideilty.

Tiger is still my idol. More so now. After all he is still a human. But unfortunately the media is having a field day trying to make him a villain. I suppose when you are a celebrity, the media will stoop very low to latch on any kind of news just to make a quick buck just like a parasite. Tiger, if you are reading this I am 110% behind you. You are the man!

By desyjean.. Posted January 25 2010 at 3:43 PM.

So what! Its human to do it around. Great men lesser men, Presidents, Presidential candidates. Newsofthe world is short of any news, that is why they are hung on Tiger and his "dangerous" woods that many women so desired. The guy was providing mush desired Public Services to these women, so what !Pls let Woods be.

By Dr. Steve .. Posted January 25 2010 at 2:22 AM.

WOW!!! it blows my mind that people say leave him alone hes the best golfer ever. WTF is wrong with you people?? Golf is a game but children learn to keep a loving relationship by their parents(but i guess thats why the world is going to sht) both parents work and TV raises the kids. wow tiger is on TV hmm. well im sure when he was partying and having sex, his kids, that he was also cheating on were on his mind. BIG TIME LOSER. like any other addiction it is because of the persons willingness to do the action that they dont quit.

By mike.. Posted January 25 2010 at 2:18 AM.

Every time Tiger is on the golf course, someone is going to burst out with "playing around again I see Tiger". The first 1000 times might be humerous, but after that........

By Davie.. Posted January 25 2010 at 1:29 AM.

i am so surprise,can all this womens tell the general porplic h.ow many mens they slept with? they are all sameless to even voice it out.same!!! same!!! Same!!!

By Daisy.. Posted January 24 2010 at 8:26 PM.

Tiger WAS a role model, not any more the sleezy dope.

By william.. Posted January 24 2010 at 5:14 PM.

Tiger Tiger Tiger, like a wandering sailor, a woman in every town, you can't blame the girls, it's him, he wants it, he pays for it, it's all on him.. !!

By William.. Posted January 24 2010 at 5:09 PM.

Top Marks to Tiger for keeping it quiet for so long.... Lucky Guy!

By Jon Boy.. Posted January 24 2010 at 3:23 PM.

thewatcher what has hmrc got to do with it? The woman in question lives in the states as does woods. The money is unlikely to ever hit our shores so it's got nothing to do with hmrc.

By swoffer.. Posted January 24 2010 at 2:07 PM.

man i wish they would just leave him alone

By roger.. Posted January 24 2010 at 1:38 PM.

The sponsors are taking a huge gamble in dropping woods, because its not rocket science should Tiger win the Masters, it will make him an even bigger attraction after all these scandals!!!....and i bet my last pound woods will be ready for the masters

By jim.. Posted January 24 2010 at 1:24 PM.

Glen - Women dont make men act the way they do when they cheat, its the little man between your legs that makes you cheat and lie the way you do .... please dont fool urself

By Suzi.. Posted January 24 2010 at 12:43 PM.

Has everyone lost their minds."Poor Tiger","Leave him alone","he's only doing what 99% of men do"...Are they mad? Listen halfwits, I've just been to an old friend of mind who died of AIDS,he was a great guy,who unfortunately had the same attitude as Tiger,there are practical reasons for not sleeping around and having unprotected sex,not just honouring your wife.Wake up people!

By Jake.. Posted January 24 2010 at 12:01 PM.

Leave the man alone. You have not heard From Tiger why he behave the way he did. From experience women can cause men to behave in this manner.

By Glen.. Posted January 24 2010 at 11:42 AM.

good working people would have a heavy tax bill for this enormous some. I hope HMRC knew about this ... they certainly do now.

By The Watcher.. Posted January 24 2010 at 10:02 AM.

Whats real sad is the amount of women out there that no he was married but were prepared to beep his wife over.

If he was working in the local shop the majority of them wouldnt have given him a second glance.

Good luck for the future Elin.

By Logan.. Posted January 24 2010 at 9:53 AM.

Re-Tiger Woods vs his mistresses: oh dear, what a news of the world!

By Onatuyeh Edwin.. Posted January 24 2010 at 8:42 AM.

Neither had protection?? And we wonder why STDs and pregnancies on the rise.

Elin, get self to clinic pronto to make sure no STDs.

Anyone who been with any of those women - GET CHECKED QUICK. Good grief! Just thinking of the amount of people who could have one from Tiger case alone - arrrgghhh!!!

By Giordani.. Posted January 24 2010 at 8:54 AM.

It is a pity that Tiger ruined his own lovely family and happiness due to his urge for sex. I tell what, sometimes we tend not to be conscious of those things that really give us happiness. I do hope he realises the great part his wife and children contribute to his happiness, personality and metal strength in his golf game.

By Onatuyeh Edwin.. Posted January 24 2010 at 7:48 AM.

Well it seems tiger was a bit of a cad, clearly he never had the time to put it around while he was younger, as none of them have come out of the woodwork. He now has and will have to pay ,although lets be honest here most guys have put it around a bit and if we believe what we read most women do to.

By finchy.. Posted January 24 2010 at 8:01 AM.

Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. Another high five from the men of the world to Tiger!

By Mandelbaum.. Posted January 24 2010 at 7:41 AM.

So what. Tiger is not a role model. Sports people are not role models. Neither are presidents or anyone other than parents. Frankly it is none of our business whom he has slept with and how often and whether both parties enjoyed themselves. But Im going to say, to go against the grain, that he is doing what 99% of people in his position would do. Most sports are 50% about sex, take the NBA, guys have a missus in every town when they are playing on the road, they are playing on the road. Same with the Premiership. Same with Tennis. Maybe the thing to learn from this is dont ever get married if you have an outstanding talent and the world is your oyster. Enjoy yourself guilt free without the hypocritical world media watching over you (this story is bigger than real stories, that really matter, I think we need to grow up as a culture, fast)

By John.. Posted January 24 2010 at 7:36 AM.

This is becoming unbelievable!!! every "hore" is coming out to make some outlandish claims.

By moh.. Posted January 24 2010 at 7:35 AM.

Tiger is on the right track now that he is getting the help he needs. <a href="http//www.health-plans-nevada.com">Nevada Health Insurance</a>

By March54.. Posted January 24 2010 at 6:00 AM.

Leave the guy alone and let him play golf... He is the best golfer the world has ever known in all of history..I don't care about his sex life, just like nobody cares about yours or mine. OK .

By Bruce .. Posted January 24 2010 at 5:43 AM.

Poor Tiger, I can't imagine its easy growing up in the way he has. How would u be from the age of 3 if u had to deal with the weight of expectation and pressure that brings...?
The truth is none of us could ever know. Maybe he just ended up doing what 99.9% of men in his shoes would do..
Could be worse 4 Tiger, he could have had plastic surgery fetish and end up like another child prodigy - MJ (RIP).
I hope Tiger pulls thru, and gets back to being his best on the course and comes to some sort of peace off it. (Hugh Hefner is getting on a bit, maybe Tiger set up his own mansion and fill it up with loads of fit birds :)

By Zed.. Posted January 24 2010 at 5:41 AM.

Tiger if this is true you are completely out of your mind. Get help if you haven't already. Your wife is 1000 times more beautiful than this woman. What is wrong with you man?

By acudoc.. Posted January 24 2010 at 5:09 AM.

At least Tiger's wife will be rich enough to start a new life without him. Many people only stay together because of financial constraints and are miserable and unhappy.

By Diana.. Posted January 24 2010 at 2:11 AM.

Another dreg comes out of the woodwork... surprise surprise. Frankly she looks boring, and indeed nowhere near as beautiful as Elin his poor wife. These woman behave like prostitutes they are just in denial thinking they are something special. Such a shame his 2 babies are soooooo gorgeous they are beautiful babies.
