Just a few hours earlier the sex-mad sportsman had been told by his mum that cancer-stricken Earl was "in a bad way".
But after visiting his dad in a hospice, Tiger went home and cheated on wife Elin with former model Jamie Jungers. As they lay in bed afterwards, Tiger got a call telling him Earl had passed away.
Jamie, 26, told the News of the World last night: "I was beside him wearing nothing but a pair of panties."
Deceased Earl, 74, was described by his son as: "My best friend and greatest role model - an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend."
But his grief over losing his war veteran father did not stop Tiger continuing his torrid affair. It only ended six months later - when Jamie asked her lover for financial aid.
She said: "He's a cheap f***er and he just didn't want to help me."
And she added: "I suspect he was seeing other women at the same time as me. Tiger's very highly sexed. He loves sex."
Their affair began in the summer of 2005 - a few months after Tiger's wedding. On May 2, 2006, he was with Jamie in his marital home in California when his mum Tida called about Earl - who had prostate cancer and was in a hospice.
Jamie said: "She told Tiger his dad was in a bad way. Tiger immediately left to be with him and I stayed at the house. He was gone nearly three hours.
"When he came back, I could see he was preoccupied and worried about his dad - but when we went to bed he still wanted to have sex as usual.
"We went to sleep. I was beside him wearing nothing but a pair of panties. Then at about 3am the phone rang. It was Tiger's mum.
"She called to tell him that his dad had passed away. Tiger looked utterly devastated and didn't say a word. He didn't even cry but I could tell he was heartbroken.
"I told him, 'I'm so sorry' and gave him a hug. I didn't want to be in the way so I arranged a flight home to Vegas."
The next day, Tiger phoned. Jamie said: "I didn't expect to hear from him for a while. I thought he would be busy having just lost his dad.
"But he told me how much he appreciated me being there with him and thanked me for my support."
The lovers first met at Las Vegas's Bellagio hotel, when Tiger was on a night out. Jamie was working voluntarily for The Vegas Angels - a troupe of models who help with charity events. The pair flirted before Tiger took her to his suite at the plush MGM Grand, where they had "wild and crazy sex".
Jamie - who furiously denies recent claims by Hollywood madame Michelle Braun that she was an escort girl - left Woods her modelling card.
She said: "I was at a barbecue with friends the next day and I told a few of them about Tiger. So when he called in front of them it was very exciting for us.
"He gave me his private mobile number but warned, 'Just save it on your phone as a different name from mine in case somebody finds it.'"
The next weekend he asked Jamie to join him at the Chicago Open golf tournament, saying an aide would make the arrangements.
Jamie was whisked to his hotel and taken to his room. "Once we were alone, we talked for a bit," she recalled. But his chat-up lines weren't the best. "He told this story about when he was younger and had to wear braces and a headpiece because his teeth were so bad," she said.
Less than three weeks after their affair started, Woods invited Jamie to his marital home - one of five properties he owns around the world. Jamie, who once played a mistress in the TV series CSI - said: "It was a little strange for me.
"There were recent pictures of him and Elin, as well as their wedding photos. That did make me feel bad for his wife. I'd hate someone to do that to me.
"I knew it wasn't right and I did try to put a stop to things but Tiger would pull me into his arms and on to the bed and beg me not to go. He'd tell me, 'But I love being around you'. And the truth is, I loved being around him."
Jamie said he made her feel like his girlfriend rather than a mistress. She said: I had the run of the house, and when we were together it really felt like we were a proper couple.
"I'd get up in the morning and he'd be downstairs eating a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal on the sofa and watching cartoons like a kid.
"I never confronted him about his reasons for cheating. I've been cheated on by guys so I know how they can be."
Jamie also claims Woods was protective of her, and got jealous when she flirted with other men. She recalled: "One night we were partying with Tiger's pals and some other guys. "I was dancing close with all of them and I could feel Tiger's eyes on me. Then he started to get jealous and cut in and pulled me on to his lap.
"He was always openly affectionate towards me in front of his friends. They knew what was going on between us for sure - and Tiger knew they would keep his secret."
The affair floundered in late 2006, when Woods - who is believed to be a billionaire - refused his mistress's request for cash. Jamie - whose videoed interview can be seen online at notw.co.uk - said: "Tiger was always tight with money. When we'd go out for dinner, he never left a tip or he'd ask for the meal to be complimentary because he was 'Tiger Woods'. I just thought that was cheap and it always embarrassed me.
"I never expected him to buy me anything. But he's the richest sports star on the planet and he never once bought me a gift - not even for Christmas or my birthday.
"Once, when we were in Las Vegas, playing blackjack in the MGM Grand's private gambling room, he won hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"He had it all there in his pockets yet never thought once about giving me a chip or letting me have a turn on him. He was very, very stingy with his money." But Jamie turned to him when she wanted to move out of the home she was sharing with an ex.
She recalled: "I was in tears as I begged Tiger to give me financial assistance. He just batted me away and told me, 'Look, don't worry, babe. I'm sure everything will work itself out.'
"I persisted and told him straight, 'I am financially unstable right now and you are a very wealthy man. I would never ordinarily ask you but I think you've known me long enough to trust me and want to help me'.
"His response was stony silence. Then he started, 'Where did this come from? You've never said anything like this before. I don't like this side of you.'They started rowing and Jamie hung up. Then Woods phoned her back, saying: "Don't do this. I really care about you."
However, Jamie has not spoken to him since - and a few months after their bust-up she heard Elin was pregnant with Tiger's first child.
Jamie said: "That hurt my feelings more than anything.
"Clearly all the time he was sleeping with me he was still sleeping with her - yet I had managed to convince myself he wasn't.
She added: "I firmly believe he deserves everything he's getting now. He doesn't belong married, that's for sure."
I think the marriage vows said something about
In sickness if there's wealth...
That is why this story has legs.
Secondarily, their advertisers would expect them to concentrate on this sensationalistic nonsense in order to boost their sagging viewing audience numbers.
i think this rubs off on obama too.
Well, it’s the idea of “Celebrity”.
Celebrities are all beautiful. They are Immortal. They don’t have a care in the world, and never mix with somebody like us.
Now for every “Celebrity”, there are probably ten more people making their living off of them.
It’s big. It’s like Exxon.
This huge industry that needs to convince us that “Celebrities” are superhuman, they aren’t anything like you or I.
So now Tigers count is up to like what, 14 or so? Truth is, he probably can’t find a wood unless he looks in his golf bag...
;-)
“sex-mad sportsman”
I love the way the Brits turn a phrase.
Yep, it's one thing to be a whore-monger - and another thing to be a cheap whore-monger. Either way, if Tiger's face is on it, I'm NOT buying it.
I can’t believe that Tiger embarrassed her by not leaving tips or by asking for free meals.
I don't ever read DU or HP, but from what I understand from stray comments on free republic messagethreads and/or the titles to them - is that LOTS of Dems are very very very unhappy with BHO, because of both the healthcare legislation and the Aghanistan Surge.
So I'm not at all familiar firsthand with what the left is writing about online, but I do listen occasionally to AIR AMERICA, and wowsy wowser wow --- the far far left Lefties are ENRAGED with Barack Obama, the hostility is ENORMOUS, callers to talk shows sputter about how allegedly, "Barack Obama is nothing but a hack conservative!!" and yell about the lack of single payer health plan and that BHO is the SAME as GWB...
It's quite astounding how livid they are.
So I presume that most of the MSM are similarly incensed with BHO, but that they will to somehow slowly the 100% positive press they've always granted him, and they are using this Tiger Woods debacle as their first installment on what will become numerous negative articles about The.One.
The press has to SLOWLY change from the constant positive stories about BHO, and I have to go brew a second pot of strong coffee. LOL
Well, he was doin OK for a while.
First he had a hole in one. Then he Eagled. Then he birdied. Then he par’d. Then he bogeyed. Then he double-bogeyed. Now he’s up to bogey-bogey-bogey-bogey-bogey...
Them bush traps will get ya every time!
Did you watch “It’s A Wonderful Life” last night?
I watched a special on “The U”,so i didnt see it last night. If you see it’s on again this week, send me a ping, okay?
Woods is the embodiment of the American dream. A black kid who made it to the top and became fabulously wealthy through dedication, hard work and talent. He had the world at his feet.
However, the "American dream" turned out to be corrupt and rotten inside. The financial and commercial success couldn't hide the inner moral bankruptcy and in the end, the "Dream" died. It was killed by immorality and sexual excess. And when the fall came it was rapid, drastic and unstoppable.
In case it wasn't obvious from the previous paragraph, I see Woods as a metaphor for America.
Well Jungers has gone to great length to explain how she’s not a prostitute. However I’m tending toward disbelief on that front.
Leave the family alone. It’s their business. This crap has gone too far over the edge.
Leave them alone.
Hi, my name is Tiger and I’m a sex addict.
For someone angry that many other folks think Woods is a dick you sure spend a lot of time on Wood’s threads and on other threads that have nothing to do with stopping healthcare or Obama’a agenda....your posting history is out there same as the rst of us.
I don’t like seeing Woods be proven to be such an ass and I don’t even golf.
I always liked him because he refused to be a little black demigod for all the race hustlers (and that pissed them off to no end)who have ruined this nation and I respected that but now he has proven to have some really serious issues.
We don’t ignore sensational stories just becasue we are also battling lefties.
I see many OJ moments in all this....even right here don’t you?
Woods has been “white” forever and only likes white girls ..mainly blonde ones including extreme tramps but now that he has damaged goods he will still be embraced by the black community even though he rejected them and ultimately he may even awkwardly go for some black identity like a sorta black girlfriend and maybe some kente cloth...i hope he appreciates their support.
Just wait and see.
btw...I sure never said talking about Woods had jackdiddly to do with being a good citizen....it’s just curious and yet another example of public facades being horrbily cracked and fake.
Even with the Tiger Woods story supposedly providing Obama and his policies, Obamacare and cap and trade, cover, the Messiah is still sinking in the polls.
Rasmussen has Obama at 46, Gallup at 48.
Really? How many Woods threads have I posted on? Because I don't seem to recall posting on too many. Please, enlighten us.
