Nordegren Rings Jaimee Grubbs “You Know Who This Is Because You Are F- -king My Husband.†The Night Tiger Was Caught
It’s hard to believe that four years have passed since the Tiger Woods sex scandal and while they say time is a great healer, reading back in Maureen Callahan’s brilliant blow by blow account of the night Tiger was finally caught in the New York Post by then wife Elin Nordergren, you cant help but still be shocked at what Tiger got up to.
It kicked off with a 30 minute conversation between Nordegren and Rachel Uchitel.
The night escalated when Tiger left down his phone and Nordegren went through the call history finding the name Jaimee Grubbs. She rang the number, it went to voicemail
“You know who this is,†Nordegren said, “because you are f- -king my husband.â€
Uchitel then hired Gloria Allred as her PR rep and scheduled a press conference which Callahan says was cancelled amid reports that Woods had paid her $10 million to keep quiet. The problems didn’t go away for Tiger though, because he didn’t pay off the others.
Had he only been more generous, perhaps Woods could have avoided what came next â€" the onslaught of porn stars, strippers, escorts and party girls who said they, too, had been having sex with Tiger. But as an increasingly astonished public learned, Woods also was really cheap, only ever buying one mistress a sandwich at Subway.
That mistress was Mindy Lawton, a diner waitress who said she and Woods had sex at his family’s home in Florida and in his Escalade, in a church parking lot, tossing her tampon out the window.
And as it turned out, it was DNA from the tampon that ultimately sealed Tiger’s fate in the media. In a piece for Vanity Fair in 2010 Mindy Lawton explained what happened.

"He wanted that last piece of booty before he could go to his tournament. To make him shoot better." She was on her period, but that was no problem for Tiger â€" until the tampon they discarded so they could have sex in a parking lot was purloined by the National Enquirer. The Enquirer agreed to bury the story in exchange for Woods giving an interview to sister publication Men's Fitness
Of course that only bought Tiger some time, before the story broke for the world to see. Then came the revelations, the woman and the disturbing claims that Joslyn James (left) had two abortions after becoming pregnant by Woods.
There was also porn star Holly Sampson, who had sex with Woods the night of his bachelor party, and her colleague Joslyn James, who said she’d gotten pregnant by Woods more than once. Exotic dancer Cori Rist revealed Woods loved eating Froot Loops while watching cartoons. Grubbs said she’d texted Woods the day after the crash, saying she’d be devastated if anything happened to him, but she never heard back and when she tried to call, the number was out of service.
By Dec. 11, 2009, two weeks after Woods’ accident, the number of known mistresses was up to 14. He lost endorsements with Nike, Gatorade, Gillette and Accenture â€" the latter alone earning him between $10 million and $15 million a year. He announced he was taking a leave from golf and on Nov. 30, he pulled out of the Chevron World Challenge.
By the end of the month, Woods had entered rehab for sex addiction.
Though reports claimed Woods slept with 120 women, Nordegren stayed with him until April 2010, when she was appalled at the identity of a 15th mistress. She was Raychel Coudriet the daughter of the neighbours who Woods first met when she was 14 years old.
