How Tiger Woods' Ex-Wife Caught Him Cheating, Fake Texts Sent to the Rumoured Mistress
Exactly four years ago today, Tiger Woods' infidelity scandal with Rachel Uchitel, a New York night club manager, was exposed by The National Enquirer.
Since then, a lot of information about Woods' betrayal against his then-wife Elin Nordegren has surfaced.
The Daily Beast was also able to obtain more fine points and details how Nordegren caught Woods cheating. According to a source, Nordegren had a conversation with Woods' rumoured mistress Uchitel the very same day that the extramarital affair was revealed to the general public. Nordegren and Uchitel spoke over the phone for nearly half an hour, but the rumoured mistress denied the allegations.
Well, a woman's intuition is really good. Nordegren was simply not convinced with the way Uchitel explained how her relationship with Woods was purely platonic. So, she took Woods' phone and found a message from Uchitel. "You are the only one I have loved," the message said.
Immediately, Nordegren pretended to be Woods and sent fake texts to Uchitel. "I miss you, when are we seeing each other," she texted impersonating Woods. Uchitel promptly replied to the message and asked how Woods was still awake when it was already late at night.
Nordegren then called Uchitel. "I knew it was you," she said, to which the night club manager uttered "Oh f**k," and then hang up.
Nordegren confronted Woods, who was sleeping then. She chased him with a golf club. Woods got on to his car and fled. It was the day when the professional golfer was reported to have crashed his Cadillac Escalade SUV.
The former model and Woods officially divorced on Aug 23, 2010. They reached a divorce settlement amounting to $750 million. Woods girlfriends were also prohibited from getting close to his kids. Nordegren and Woods have two children, Sam and Charlie.
After the divorce, Nordegren has moved to North Palm Beach Estate in Florida, where she has reportedly built a luxury mansion out of the money she received from Woods.
Woods is currently in a romantic relationship with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.
