Tiger Woods ‘let wife talk to alleged mistress’
Tiger Woods let his wife talk to his alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel on the phone in a bid to convince her that she was just a friend, it has been claimed.
The golf ace is said to have told Elin Nordegren that a US magazine was planning to run a story about his relationship with Uchitel. He insisted there was no truth to the report – and let Elin speak to the nightclub hostess for half an hour.
But she grew suspicious the following day, and after he fell asleep, began to text Uchitel,
pretending to be her husband, according to investigative reporter Gerald Posner.
Posner said Nordegren then realised that her husband was lying to her, before she chased him out of their Florida home – prompting the car crash at the end of November that led to a string of lurid revelations about his private life.
Posner reports: “Tiger convinced Uchitel to talk to Elin. The two women spoke by phone for about half an hour, and after the conversation, according to this source, she was satisfied that the relationship was platonic.
“After Woods fell asleep, Elin looked through his cellphone, both sources confirmed. There she found text messages to Uchitel’s number – Uchitel was apparently listed in Tiger’s cellphone under her real name – and among them she discovered one that said, “You are the only one I’ve loved.”
“Shortly after 1 a.m. in Florida, Elin began texting Uchitel, pretending to be Tiger, according to both sources. Elin wrote, ‘I miss you,’ and asked, ‘When are we seeing each other again?’
Uchitel texted back, seemingly surprised that Woods was awake. Elin felt, one source told me, that this response indicated that the two of them spoke earlier that night, before Tiger took his Ambien. At that point, Elin called Uchitel, who answered thinking it was Tiger calling. Both sources said that Elin said something approximating, ‘I knew it was you.’
Uchitel’s surprised reply, according to what Elin told one source, ‘Oh f*ck.’ She immediately hung up.”
