Rachel Uchitel: I Lied About Tiger Woods Affair

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Hook-ups, Legal Issues, Rumors,

This thing is snowballing completely out of control. Tiger Woods is one of the world’s top-grossing athletes, respected in his sport as the best at the game. He is also the latest tabloid obsession, and everyone’s getting in on the action.

Rachel Uchitel, who was first alleged to be the golfer’s mistress, initially denied all media reports that she and Woods had an affair. Now, two other women have been named as having private encounters with Tiger…and Uchitel has changed her story.

Tiger Woods Charged: Faces Fine for Carelessness

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Legal Issues,

Description Tiger Woods has been charged by the Florida Highway Patrol with careless driving, a non-criminal offense that will add four points to the golfer’s license.

The citation comes as a result of Woods’ car accident last Friday. Although Tiger has repeatedly avoided further questioning by authorities, a patrol official said their work on this incident is over. “With the issuance of this citation, the Florida Highway Patrol has completed its investigation into this matter,” Maj. Cindy Williams said.

The fine could cost as much as $164, a mere drop in the bucket to the millionaire athlete.

Tiger Woods Drops Out of His Own Tournament

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Legal Issues, Rumors,

“I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week,” Tiger Woods said in a statement he released Monday. “I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I’m very sorry that I can’t be there.”

Of course he can’t attend the tournament - the media has launched itself into a rabid frenzy since his accident over the weekend, an event which has sparked rumors of everything from substance abuse to cheating on his wife.

So far, the investigation is “ongoing” and any criminal charges in the case are “pending.” Because of it, “Woods will not participate in any other tournaments in 2009 and will return to action next year,” according to a statement released from his reps. The Chevron World Challenge, the event which no longer features Tiger, will carry on as planned.

Woods was leaving his home around 2 a.m. several days ago, striking first a fire hydrant and then a tree on a neighboring property. Police have stated that the crash did not involve alcohol.

Hugh Grant loves to travel, especially for golf

English actor Hugh Grant flies from New York to England just to play golf. The Notting Hill star is obsessed with the game and travels thousands of miles to play 18 holes.

Speaking at the launch of his father James Grant’s watercolor exhibition at a Southampton gallery, the 48-year-old actor said, “I come out here to play golf, since I’m a golf fanatic.”

Hugh also took time to praise his 81-year-old father’s artistic skills: “I’m so proud of my dad—he’s been painting all my life. My dad, who lives in London and is originally from Scotland, follows the tradition of Scottish colorists and I really love his colors in these nature scenes.”

VIDEO: Tiger Woods Accused of Farting on Live TV

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Television, Videos, Oops Videos,

Let’s face it—everyone experiences gas. Even athletes at the top of their game. During CBS’ coverage of the Buick Open this weekend, the cameras - and microphones - were able to catch an awkward moment between Tiger Woods and his caddy at the 18th hole.

Although something is clearly heard, and the two men are seen laughing afterward, the network has denied to TMZ that the noise came from the golfer. (CBS has not provided the name of the fall guy though.) Watch the video and you be the judge.

(You can get another angle of Woods and his caddy post-poot here.)

Bill Murray’s Mean Left Hook

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Where Are They Now?,

Bill Murray assaulted a fan over the weekend with a golf ball - but don’t worry, it was an accident.

While teeing off in Tampa, Murray hooked his shot far to the left and hit Gayle DiMaggio plumb on the noggin. Surprisingly, however, the fan didn’t request monetary compensation or threaten a lawsuit. All she wanted from Murray, who quickly went to make amends, was a signed copy of his golf-themed flick Caddyshack.
