Professional Golfer Tiger Woods accused of cheating before split with wife

Tiger has split up with Lindsey Woods after three years together

The professional golfer, whose past infidelities caused the collapse of his marriage to Elin Nordegren in dramatic fashion, has split with the Olympic skier after three years together

Sex addict Tiger Woods has been accused of cheating on his girlfriend leading to the break up of their three year relationship.

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn last week announced she and the former world number one split due to their “incredibly hectic lives” and that their schedules stopped them from seeing each other.

The 14 times major winner backed up her statement on his own website adding: "I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I'll always cherish our time together.

"Unfortunately, we lead very hectic lives and are both competing in demanding sports. It's difficult to spend time together."

But according to reports in the US the relationship went downhill after Tiger allegedly confessed he had strayed with a “faceless, nameless woman” in February.

His alleged cheating took place after he missed the cut at San Diego-based Farmer's Insurance Classic tournament.

The couple had been convinced to seek help by the wife of another unnamed golf pro but it was claimed Woods had stopped going when he allegedly cheated.

But he later had a change of heart and after Vonn initially refused to attend the counselling sessions Wood convinced her to go with him.

During the meeting he allegedly confessed to his cheating but the move backfired and brought about the demise of their relationship.
