PHOTOS! Is Tiger Woods having an affair with Rachel Uchitel? Allegations of a Tiger Woods Rachel Uchitel affair, claims of an alleged mistress’ confessions, were weeks old when news of the car crash of Tiger Woods today.

Tabloids were reportedly set to release allegations December 7 of their claims about Rachel Uchitel and Woods.

And then suddenly reports of Woods’ car crash.

Woods’ accident happened near his home “in an exclusive subdivision called Isleworth, near Orlando.” A police report read “driver had just pulled out of the driveway at his residence … as [vehicle] began to drive on Deacon Circle, [vehicle] struck a fire hydrant. The front of [vehicle] then struck a tree…”

Yet Tiger Woods’ agent Mark Steinberg says late today Woods is fine, with other reports that Tiger suffered “facial lacerations.” The local mayor confirms the same. Steinberg also confirmed to media that Woods “is fine.” Woods, 33, was driving a Cadillac SUV.

The hunt for photos on Rachel Uchitel and answers come Friday after news of Tiger Woods’ car crash and rescue by wife Elin Nordegren

But in just days, the Enquirer’s Dec. 7 isuse, the tabloid will reportedly address if the alleged affair was occurring between Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel fueled by alleged meetings in New York, Las Vegas and Australia. Australia? That is the location of Woods’ recent Australian Masters.

In fact, the Enquirer claims to have confronted Uchitel about the question at Tiger Woods’ hotel in Melbourne. The tabloid reportedly wrote:

“When confronted, Rachel insisted she was in Melbourne on business and denied carrying on an affair with Woods. Rachel also claimed that she’d traveled to Australia with a boyfriend. In a later conversation however, she admitted to THE ENQUIRER she had lied about going to Australia with a boyfriend.”

The Enquirer stated an unnamed source for Woods “vehemently denied an affair” adding “the golfer may have been at the same nightclub as Rachel at some point.“

As broke weeks back here, Elin and Tiger recently welcomed a new baby boy:

“Elin and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Charlie Axel Woods, who was born on Sunday, February 8, 2009. Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts. Sam is very excited to be a big sister and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.

“I also want to thank our doctors, nurses and hospital staff for their personal and professional care. We look forward to introducing Charlie to you at the appropriate time, and thanks again from all of us for your kindness and support.”

Amid the Enquirer reports, the Star claimed Uchitel met Woods when she worked as an event planner and the director of VIP Operations for the Big Apple hotspot Griffin. The source of the Star’s allegations reportedly was Rachel’s “friend” Ashley Sampson. Sampson reportedly tells the publication:

“In June, she told me, ‘Tiger Woods is blowing up my phone messages!’ Tiger thinks Rachel is staying quiet about their affair, but she told everyone. She told me, ‘I’m having an affair with Tiger Woods. We’re in love!’ “

“I’ve heard him while she was talking to him on the phone and I recognized the voice. I said, ‘Rachel, he’s married,’ and she said Big (bleeping) deal! It’s Tiger Woods. I don’t care about his wife! we’re in love!’ “

“He’d ask Rachel things like, ‘What are you wearing? What do you want to do to me? What do you want me to do to you?’ She even read me text messages that Tiger sent her that said, ‘I miss you so much! I love you’.”

A separate source claimed to tell the magazine: “I know for a fact that Tiger and Rachel got together for four days in Los Angeles. She talks about their affair all the time. She thinks Tiger is going to leave his wife and marry her.”

Rachel Uchitel’s name last came up notably in alleged affair reports with actor David Boreanaz.

Moreover, the website Blackbookmag.com had a quote from Uchitel previously:

“Although I’ve been romantically linked to a famous baseball player, a Broadway star, a musician, and various film and television actors, I will never kiss and tell!“

This all comes just months after baby birth by Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren Woods, a former Swedish bikini model.

UPDATE  #1-

Rachel Uchitel late Friday responded to the Enquirer’s claims. She a) denies the allegations and b) says the source of their article is not a friend.

“I don’t appreciate my name or what people think of me being dragged through the mud by people who don’t even bother to research what or who they’re talking about … they should research who these stories are coming from, who they’re believing as a credible source. Not to mention that it’s in the National Enquirer.”

“I totally deny the Enquirer story. They did contact me about it, but they didn’t use any of my quotes or any of the information I gave them. They make it sound like I said those things, but it’s all other people saying I said things.”

“On Ashley Samson, the “close friend” of Uchitel’s who provided all the information to the Enquirer, along with another unnamed source, both of whom supposedly “passed” a polygraph: “I’ve met her twice in my life. We’re not friends. I’m just speculating but it seems like someone else is telling her what to say or manipulating her. After all, she got $25,000 for this.” “
