Tiger Woods’ sordid scandal scores 19th ho-le

[HMG] – If you’re as tired of Tiger Woods stories as we at HMG are, bad news – It’s now being reported there is yet another mistress in his over-stuffed closet.

Number nineteen is Emma Rotherham, a 42-year old British-born mother of two who now lives in Florida, and has reputedly scored a cool $500,000 to keep things to herself.

But while Emma’s not talking, her greed-driven friends are all leaking like sieves:

“Emma’s his most recent mistress,” one cash-seeking associate tells the News of the World. “They had a passionate affair and she has dozens of texts and emails – Some even sent while he was trying to mend life with Elin.”

The pair met in May 2008 at one of Tiger’s favorite haunts – Orlando’s ‘Blue Martini’ club. Dressed in a tight black jump-suit, Emma soon caught Woods’ eye and they got friendly – Fast:

“She lived near him, so she was always on call. They were at it all the time,” says one sleazy source. “Emma said Tiger was a great lover, but neither of them took precautions.”

Emma soon bragged to her friends, but Tiger told her not to as his wife could find out. So instead she met Tiger at his office and got right back to work;

“Emma would meet there and they’d get straight down to sex. Sometimes she’d complain she wanted more from their  connection – but she wasn’t interested in becoming the next Mrs. Woods.”

Can you gue$$ why, kids?

But these sweat-stained siestas hit a shuddering halt when Tiger thought the media had discovered their link. He hid Emma at the Ritz Carlton in Naples and gave her $45,000 ‘pocket money’ to stay out of sight.

“Emma was freaking out and didn’t want to be away from her daughter,” we’re told. “She told Tiger she would never talk about the affair, but had to get home to sort out her life.”

So Tiger’s people drove her home to the Disney-themed town, Celebration. There, another assistant gave her one final payday – $500,000. Since then, she’s not heard a word.

“The $500k bought her silence and she signed a confidentiality agreement. But she’s walking round with a big grin on her face, like the cat that got the cream,” says the source.

Meanwhile, Tiger’s still [allegedly] a resident at the ‘Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction’ clinic in Mississippi. The therapy he’s following includes an emotional event called ‘Disclosure Day,’ where the addict has to face their own spouse and admit every sexual error that put them in treatment.

Could this send the total still higher?…That’s quite a thought, huh?

Meantime, I think someone owes Tiger his $500k…
