Georgina Littlejohn of the U.K. tabloid Daily Mail writes explosive allegations of sex and cover up regarding a newly discovered mistress of Tiger Woods. British mother of two Emma Rotterham was reportedly paid $500,000. for silence about their affair, but refused to surrender her cell phone to the Team Woods flunkies who delivered the cash to a secret location in Western Florida, as she hid out from the tabs at Woods’s insistence. From the article:
“According to a newspaper report today, the golfer gave mother of two Emma Rotherham $500,000 (£310,000) in cash after she promised never to speak about their 18-month fling.
Blonde Emma, 42, is said to be 34-year-old Tiger’s 19th conquest and his most recent mistress, was reportedly handed a bag by a member of the sportsman’s security team, which was stuffed with $100 bills.
And according to source close to Tiger, Emma had to sign a confidentiality agreement upon taking the money which bought her silence.
They said: ‘She’s very happy and walking round with a big grin on her face – like the cat that’s got the cream….Emma, who moved to Florida from London four years ago after her youngest daughter finished primary school, caught Tiger’s eye at the Blue Martini club, said to be one of his favourite haunts..'”
But here comes something even more radioactive…it seems everyone at the Orlando’s Blue Martini, which Tiger allegedly treated like his own personal den of iniquity, was well-acquainted with his philandering ways and looked the other way at the very least:
“The source said: ‘Tiger couldn’t keep his eyes of her butt. Everyone in the room knew what was going to happen sooner or later. He sat next to her most of the evening.
‘You could see he was making a play for her. Emma speaks very well with a posh English accent. And Tiger loved it. He thought she sounded classy and sexy.’
According to the source, they swapped numbers at the end of the night and embarked on an 18-month affair, which ended earlier this month when she was given her pay-off.
They would meet once a week at his office in Windermere for sex and Tiger even reportedly flew her out to Michigan last August where he was competing in the Buick Open tournament and introduced her to the drug Ambien, which made their sex ‘mind-blowing’.”
Hey Cialis! Viagra! You’re getting the pants beat off you in the sponsorship arena by a sleep aid! Think you might not be getting your money’s worth from the PGA Tour? Do you think anyone buys your product because of the ads they see on telecasts?
And if you needed further proof that Team Tiger is in full cover-up and intimidation mode – like they think they can exercise over you and the media post-rehab – here is your bottom line:
“She reportedly sent a text to Tiger who told her not to contact him as Elin was ‘going through everything’.
But when the News of the World found out about her, Tiger arranged for her to be driven away to the beach resort Naples on the other side of Florida to Orlando, where she was put up in the Ritz-Carlton hotel and told to stay out of sight.
“The insider said: ‘Emma was completely freaking out and didn’t want to be away from her teenage daughter. She told Tiger she would never talk about their affair but that she had to get back home to sort out her life.’
She was then moved to a rented villa on the Bay Hill golf resort near Tiger’s home, and he stayed in constant contact with her.
But the source said Emma felt like she was living like she was in a witness protection plan and she returned to her home before Christmas.
A week after New Year, she got her final text message from him, telling her to meet up with one of his security team who handed over the $500,000, but she refused to hand the aide her mobile phone which contained texts from Tiger.”
So, hiding and destroying evidence, kickbacks, and witness intimidation. Timid Finchem, what is your opinion on how all this makes the PGA Tour look? Do you think – for one second – that we’ll swallow the fake and fraudulent image you’re going to sell us ever again?
***cricket! cricket! cricket!***
On a personal note, I could never marry a girl named Emma…because then she’d be “Emma Flemma,” and that’s just too funny.
