People who run in Tiger Woods' guarded circle are now jumping ship and telling the media they're not surprised the golfer's secrets are now out in the light. They say Tiger has a reputation as being a ladies' man, but the world wasn't aware of it -- until now.
The drama started last weekend when Tiger was rushed to a local hospital after he crashed his truck into a fire hydrant then into a tree outside his Florida mansion. Reports soon followed that his wife, Elin Nordegren, put a major beatdown on his ass, then chased him out of their home wielding a golf club after confronting him about his alleged jumpoff - who has been bragging to her friends that she's sleeping with Tiger.
“He’s a pro athlete. He’s been in a lot of situations with women that would not look good,” a friend tells MSNBC. “Most athletes of his stature fall under the same category, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his family.”
That's code for what happens on the road, stays on the road.
A reporter who has covered Tiger for years told the Web site that there are plenty of times that the golfer was “in the company of women in public places” when he was on the road. “Whether he crossed lines — that’s not something anyone talks about openly, but I can tell you there are times things look that way,” the source said. “Tiger’s private, but it doesn’t always mean he’s smart. That’s the case with a lot of pro athletes.”
A former reporter who covered Tiger on numerous occasions on the PGA tour told Fox411 that for years, even before marrying Elin, Tiger has taken "extraordinary efforts" to keep his private life, private.
"Tiger never wanted to be a huge public figure," the source said. "He has a security unit that takes care of him when he's traveling, and they keep him safe and shaded from even the prying eyes of fans and paparazzi."
But last year, that security was breached.
According to Fox411: "A little over a year ago Tiger was in a room at a hotel in Miami, about 90 minutes from his home. The room was guarded by two guards with earpieces looking very professional in suits. Tiger exited the room with a dark-haired woman, not his wife, giving his security guards the evil eye when he realized someone else was in the hall seeing him."
