Today, Mindy Lawton, 34, knows that she was just one of many mistresses taken by the golfer. Throughout their 14-month affair she thought that what she had with Tiger was special & that they were in love.
She and Tiger met in summer 2006, when Mindy was working as an $8-an-hour manager & waitress at Perkins, a diner only a short drive from Tiger's home.
Tiger & his wife Elin would regularly take breakfast there.
He called her at Perkins & said, "This is Tige," - that's the pet name he always used for himself - "Will you meet me at the Blue Martini?"
'She was very excited but nervous so she asked our next oldest sister, Bobbi, to go with her. She was like, "Oh, I'm going to hang out with Tiger!"'
It is now known that this nightclub & cocktail bar was a favourite haunt of Tiger's. Tiger & Mindy left the club separately.
Mindy drove her sister home then met Tiger on his way to his house. She followed, driving at a discreet distance, & at the gated development was waved in by the guard.
Lynn said: 'Mindy told me the next day, "We went to his house and & sex. He was extremely good."'
Lynn thinks Elin was out of the country that night. She said: 'That was always the pattern. Mindy would drive her old Saturn car & follow Tiger in his Escalade.
According to our investigation, when 'Team Tiger' discovered that a tabloid magazine not only had blurry pictures of him & Mindy in the car park but evidence of the consummation, they went into a panic. Then they went to work.

Can you believe that he never used a condom? You would think that at least his MONEY would matter more to him than this. Obviously his wife did not.
Any one of those chicks could have gotten pregnant and the baby would have brought them a FORTUNE from Woods.
At this point Elin needs an HIV test!
Any photos of him and Mrs. O? I'd pay not to see those.
Another of the rules was “deny, deny, deny.” So, whatever your wife sees, just tell her it’s not true. I think we see this one played out in other arenas every day. :)
I'm not defending her but a lot of women still secretly dream of being Cinderella.
It seems Rush’s comments vis a vis McNabb are vindicated in the media’s treatment of tiger prior to this episode
I was thinking, "slut" but "tramp" works too.
I hope her attorney is advising her of that. In her present state of mind, how can she be there for the babies and deal with these stories...
What a mess. Condolences to Elin and the children.
There's nothing wrong with that dream - I guess - so long as Prince Charming isn't married, with two kids. Otherwise, Cinderella is just another home-wrecking whore.
Does that make it 5 now?
I just found this through ESPN.com. Try your hand at parking an Escalade on a cul-de-sac. It is not as easy as one would think...

I know a ton of $8 an hour waitresses that have fifty times the class that Tiger has shown. The amount of money that someone makes, working hard for a living, is not indicator of class. You guys know that.
“Should he be married? I don’t think so. He needs many women not just one.”
Let’s be correct about this - he WANTS many women, not just one.” - not NEEDS
One of our biggest problems these days - we just don’t recognize the difference between wants and needs.
Oh, and “the physique of a gladiator????”
We now have all found out Tiger Woods has feet of clay and is not the Son of Zeus from Mount Olympus and the vitriol being spewed here is unreal.
Some of you claim to be fervent Christians yet you go after Tiger like a mob of pagans.
Yes the guy has problems but I can assure most of you men out there that if you had Tigers money and women literally throwing themselves at you, you would not be able to resist.
Also keep in mind that Tiger's Father had him on the golf course from the time he could hold a club. Did this guy even have a normal upbringing? I suspect Tiger is in his second childhood so to speak. All that money, a private jet, and women who want him.
The guy probably never was ready to settle down and did so before he really sowed all those “Wild Oats”.
He will suffer plenty, financially and emotionally for his transgressions. Ease up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, his golf gaim ain't a facade. But the rest of his life has been, until now.
And to think that I defended him when I first heard of the "accident". He isn't the man I thought he was. If he wanted to whore around, he shouldn't have gotten married.
I dispute that. He hung out at bars where he sent his bodyguards to pick up women for him.
Whats the divorce rate these days, around 53%.
I feel sorry for Mrs.Woods, the children and Tiger. However some folks learn through experience, its just the way they are.
I do not share the moral indignation most have about Woods.
Everyone involved with Tiger Woods sexually was an adult with fully functioning mental capability.No crime was committed by him, such as rape or violence.
The major problem folks have with Tiger is that he was a womanizer, and exremely sexually active. I doubt that fact will detract from his popularity unless he goes off his game.
I wish them all well, Mrs. Woods will get her pre nuptial settlement , and she will likely remarry , but Woods , if he decides to leave, will likely be a bachelor the rest of his life. To bad he didn't understand himself better before he made the mistake of undertaking to be married, making promises he was clearly unable to keep. Mind you that will cost him millions of dollars and also a lot of pain, and that he has earned.
I hope he is able to continue his career as an outstanding athlete despite all of these difficulties. I have no reason to wish him ill.
So far as I know, Perkins doesn’t serve alcohol.
