Tiger Woods returns to <b>golf</b> as scandal widens

Posted: 04 Apr 2010 12:15 PM PDT

Tiger Woods makes his much-anticipated return to professional golf Monday at Augusta National, where he will face the media just as an explosive new exposé offers more salacious details about the extra-marital affairs that have dogged him for the past five months.

Woods's begins his bid for a fifth Masters title Thursday. But he will hit the links with Fred Couples Monday for a practice round, which will either precede or be followed by his first press conference since his now-infamous early morning car crash last November that led to revelations of numerous infidelities.

Woods will face nearly 200 journalists, who will no doubt be asking as many questions about Woods' personal life as his golf game.

CTV.ca will live stream the press conference at 2 p.m. ET.

Woods has not played a tournament since Nov. 15, when he won the Australian Masters. Two weeks after that victory the golfer crashed his SUV into a tree outside his Florida home, days after the National Enquirer published a story claiming Woods had an affair with New York nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel.

Since then, several women have come forward claiming to have slept with the golfer, who married swimsuit model Elin Nordegren in 2004. Media reports suggest Nordegren will not attend this week's tournament.

Amid the growing scandal, Woods posted apologies to his wife and his fans on his website and then made a televised statement in which he admitted receiving inpatient therapy for what is believed to be sex addiction.

But just as the rehabilitation of Woods's reputation gets underway, the new issue of Vanity Fair offers even more shocking details of the golfer's private life.

Writer Mark Seal interviewed four of Woods's alleged mistresses, who not only offer details of their relationships, but also refute his contention that members of his inner circle knew nothing of the affairs.

One woman, Jamie Jungers, said Woods's best friend Bryon Bell would handle the details when she would travel to meet him.

And Mindy Lawton says that when she told Woods the Enquirer had found out about their affair, he put her in touch with his agent at IMG, Mark Steinberg, who told her, "We'll take care of it."

Lawton alleges Woods granted an interview to a sister publication, Men's Fitness, in exchange for a guarantee from the Enquirer it would not publish the story (a guarantee the Enquirer denies).

Steinberg has yet to comment on the story.

Meanwhile, Woods's wife appears to still be undecided about whether her husband's secret life will lead to the downfall of their marriage.

Various gossip websites have breathlessly reported Nordegren's every move around the family's gated Florida community, including her daily trips to drop off and pick up her two-year-old daughter, Sam, from school.

While Nordegren will not be at the Masters, one of her husband's alleged mistresses, Joslyn James, is scheduled to strip at the Pink Pony club in Atlanta from April 8 to 10.
