British woman Tiger Woods` 19th mistress?

Tiger Woods paid around 300,000 pounds to buy the silence of a blonde Brit mum who has been his secret mistress for 18 months.

London: Disgraced golf player Tiger Woods paid around 300,000 pounds to buy the silence of a blonde British mum who has been his secret mistress for 18 months, according to a media report.

"The cheating golf superstar fixed the golden kiss-off for Emma Rotherham to set her up for life after she vowed never to talk about their torrid fling," British tabloid News of the World reported. The stunning 42-year-old mother of two - the 19th Tiger conquest revealed so far and the image of his wife Elin - was given the fortune in cash. One of Woods security people handed the alleged mistress, who has two daughters aged 16 and 25, a duffel bag stuffed with USD 100 bills. A source told News of the World: "Emma was his most recent mistress. They had a very, very passionate relationship and she has dozens of text messages and emails from him. Some were even sent while Tiger was trying to patch things up with his wife Elin." "If those came out they`d bury him. He absolutely adored Emma and loved the sex. So did she," the source said. Rotherham allegedly lived closed to Woods` 34, Florida mansion in Isleworth and met once a week. It followed an incredible cloak and dagger operation orchestrated by 34-year-old Woods to stop curvy Emma being identified as one of his harem. The source said: "The 500 grand has now bought Emma`s silence and she has signed a confidentiality agreement. She`s very happy and walking round with a big grin on her face - like the cat that got the cream." The golf superstar reportedly asked Rotherham to stop wearing a ring so that other men would not hit on her. Woods first met the mother of two at Orlando`s Blue Martini club, in May 2008. "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," the tabloid quoted the source as saying. They were meeting once a week in his office when his wife Elin Nordegren was pregnant with their son Charlie. Before the Buick Open Tournament, Woods met the Rotherham and urged her to take a drug called Ambient before they had sex. Woods is believed to be at a sex rehab centre called Pine Grove in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The golfer disappeared from the public scene after a scandal revealing his extramarital affairs exploded following an accident on November 27 when Woods crashed his SUV outside his Florida mansion sustaining minor injuries. Since then, nineteen women have been linked with him. PTI
