Tiger Woods officially returns to golf today, after a whirlwind week of press conferences, new ads with sponsors and yet another woman added to his long list of alleged mistresses.
Yesterday, the National Enquirer reported that during his years of romps with countless paramours, he even bedded his 22-year-old neighbor, whom he had known since her teenage years.
Raychel Coudriet, who first met Woods at 14, was reportedly “smitten” by the golfer and eventually had a one-night stand with him on his office couch.
The supermarket tabloid claimed the sexual encounter left Coudriet "shaken and humiliated" when it took place last year on a couch in his office just a mile from his Florida home.
Coudriet went into a rage when it was revealed over the past few months that Woods bedded other women, the newspaper reported.
Furious, she cornered Tiger last month while she was home for spring break.
"I feel extremely violated by what you did to me!" Coudriet, a college student, reportedly told Woods.
"Sorry about that," responded Tiger, who recently attended a sex rehab clinic in an effort to mend his marriage.
Meanwhile, on the eve of his return to the Masters, Nike debuted a new Woods commercial that many are calling nothing short of creepy.
The 30-second ad features a mute Woods listening to his dead father’s voice chastising him from beyond the grave. Earl Woods, who died in 2006, tells Woods, “Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive. I want to find out what your thinking was; I want to find out what your feelings are.”
Later, he ask him, “and did you learn anything,” as Woods is seen on the verge of tears. The ad concludes with the Nike sign.
Nike was one of the few sponsors who stayed with Woods after his sex scandal that began last year during Thanksgiving weekend. Woods lost $35 million worth of endorsements after he was linked to more than a dozen different women and forced to publicly apologize for his affairs.
Since then, he has attended sex rehab and is working on repairing his public image, as well as his marriage to Elin Nordegren.
