Tiger Put Mistress on Phone With Wife

Elin's friends dish about that infamous night

(Newser) – Tiger Woods’ car crash on Thanksgiving started an avalanche of news stories, but what caused the crash has remained shrouded in secrecy—until now. Tiger was undone by a text message, two anonymous sources close to Elin Nordegren tell Gerald Posner of the Daily Beast. Woods had warned Nordegren that the Enquirer story was coming, but he insisted his relationship with Rachel Uchitel was platonic, even having the two talk on the phone to convince her. But Nordegren remained suspicious.

The next night, Thanksgiving, she and Woods got into an argument, which Woods ended by taking Ambien and going to bed. Nordegren took his phone and, pretending to be her husband, texted Uchitel. When Uchitel replied in suitably damning fashion, an enraged Nordegren woke up Woods, first trying to punch him, then chasing him with a golf club. Woods, still in an Ambien haze, ran barefoot to the car, and promptly crashed it. The rest is history.

deebles. I do remember no cells. I didn't get my first cell phone until 1995. It was still a novelty to have back then, probable less than 1/3 of people had one. Yes, it was a simpler time. Technology brings its own set of problems. Lack of privacy is the biggest problem.

Wow deebles, that's some story. That was pretty dumb of your ex. You were paying the bills? He should have respected you way more.

deebles, you have posted quite a few comments here about this article and the more of your business I read, the more of a joke you are. You have a seriously foul mouth, you call people idiots for leaving a trail with all the modern technology, while proclaiming many times that you don't do anything as stupid as posting your business on the social networking sites. Seriously? What do you think this is, a top secret section of the national archives? Now everyone who has read your posts knows that you boinked every man who would have you, for what you considered the best decade of your life, because you had all that estrogen (which I am guessing that you think made everything so juicy) and you looked a good decade younger. Sounds like you have an excess of testosterone, not estrogen. You foolishly believe that life is over at 50 because God wants us done by then??? You go on about the foolishness of women who take hormones because they will develop all types of cancer. Maybe you should have a talk with your gynecologist, only this time maybe you should NOT pretend to be the expert and LISTEN. To hormone or not to hormone, that is the question. If you REMAIN on hormones for years yes, you can develop breast, uterine , ovarian cancers but for the women who don't take hormones, they stand a better chance of developing heart problems. God does not want us done by 50 or else there wouldn't be any people living beyond 50, end of that story. They used to say that 50 was the new 40 but that has changed to the new 30. People are living longer and looking a lot younger also, thanks to all the advances in diet, medication, lifestyles and just the fact that we are not pioneers killing ourselves trying to develop a whole new civilization. While I agreed with you that your husband was an idiot to charge flowers for a mistress knowing that you paid all of the bills, I don't agree with your progressively irrational posts, those that I can understand that is. Proofreading...I am sure it is a new concept for you but look it up and give it a try. It will make your posts comprehensible if not agreeable. You are also an expert on Ambien and other sleep aids. While you are right that sleeping pills do not allow people to enter REM sleep, telling people to just stay up for 72 hours until they drop from exhaustion and doing that for 2 weeks will take care of their sleeping problems is a prime example of people talking out of their a**es. That is beyond dangerous and can do untold damage to the heart, not to mention that it is so NOT an answer to serious sleep disorders. Tiger tried to drive after taking sleeping medication, medication which cautions you to make sure that you have at least 8 hours in which to sleep and definitely cautions people not to drive or operate machinery. Ambien is getting a bad rap, which is unfair to the company. We don't know how many of the pills Tiger took, nor how much time passed before he stupidly tried to drive. Most...
