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.

Are YOU serious? She’s been humiliated in front of the world by a serial philanderer. Her kids, sadly, have Tiger as a father and they’ll have to deal with a broken home, shared custody, etc. Elin will be forever tied to the pig through the children. Yes; a bazillion dollars doesn’t hurt but wouldn’t a strong, happy family be better?
“Judaism and Christianity allow for people to be read the riot act when they sin and do wrong.”
You’re so right. Judgment is rampant throughout both Testaments. Ten Commandments creates a baseline for setting standards by which to form judgments.
Thanks for that like you said I would have sit down and actually think who they are! God Bless Patrick he was a good man.
It’s not the end of the world. There are a lot of children who have divorced parents and they turn out just fine. We are talking about the real world.
He was also an alcoholic. There are no perfect people.
1) Nordegren couldn't stand it any more and leaked the info.
And, on a tinfoily note...
2) Say you're a CEO whose company's losing money. The board's on your butt and is making your life a misery. You need to cut costs STAT, and there's one biggie you could cut immediately: A star you've got on an endorsement contract that's worth millions. The guy is spiraling outta control and you just know he's gonna be radioactive soon anyway. So, you leak what you've been helping to spike all these years knowing that the public furor will give you the perfect excuse to trigger the morals clause in the contract. Bye bye degenerate superstar and high cost contract. Hello instant savings.
FWIW, as tinfoily as it sounds, that latter theory could explain a lot.
I’m sorry, but that’s a false dichotomy. You’re only giving two choices: that either Tiger is juicing or there must be other golfers who look like him. There are actually many reasons why people don’t look like Tiger: they don’t eat right, they don’t exercise properly (note that this doesn’t mean exercise all the time, one must do the correct exercises in the correct way in the correct order on the correct days), they don’t have the same genes, or a multiple of other things. How often do we hear about other world class golfers who simply don’t take the game as seriously as Tiger does? All the time, Sergio Garcia and Anthony Kim are just two examples.
How many martial artists are as good as or look like Bruce Lee? The man had a ridiculous work ethic, and you’d be hard pressed to say he was putting unnatural things in his body. The fact of the matter is that Tiger is a 185lb muscular guy. Not that much different than myself or a lot of guys I know.
If you really think I, as a 31 year old man...with a 29 year old wife...can’t resist a 34 year old Perkins waitress...you must be really hard up. I’m not. And I visit Perkins quite often. For the food, not the used up waitresses.
MMmmmm....34 year old waitress. Is this one of the “World’s most beautiful women” who kept throwing themselves at him?
Ben Hogan was at a tournament along with Snead. There was a long drive contest before the tournament began. Hogan walked out the clubhouse door to go to the contest, heard this mighty whack, put his ball in his pocket and forgot about the contest. The mighty whack was Snead hitting his drive.
The Swing sequence you mentioned can be found on Youtube.
Snead could hit 300 yds before the age of graphite shafts and Big Bertha heads
Tiger and Buick ended their relationship when GM announced it was discontinuing the Buick line OVER A YEAR AGO.
Actually, funny you should say that. Most sources say in his prime he was around 145 (keep in mind that Bruce Lee was about 5’6”, whereas Tiger is 6’1” and weighs around 185lbs), though during heavy weight training he had gotten up to around 165lbs at one point. Given the comments in this thread, it seems people think Lee putting on 20-30 pounds of muscle would have been impossible, as that’s essentially what Tiger has done.
I’m sorry, but Bruce Lee was not good in the same way that Norris, Segal, or any of those other guys are good. I don’t want to turn this into a Bruce Lee vs. The World thread, but Bruce Lee was simply one of the quickest fighters in the world, if not the quickest. He would have wiped the floor with almost anyone. And this is coming from someone with deep respect for Segal’s fighting ability, as I trained for years in aikido (Segal’s chosen art).
Tiger was on a list of very bad celebrity tippers; so this should be no surprise.
And so can you!!!!!!
Just ROID up, and you can be the next "gladiator" of golf.
So you never read "The Scarlet Letter" or "The Lottery"? ;-)
