UPDATE #1 – Here are the National Enquirer and Stars’ allegations about Tiger Woods. The National Enquirer’s Tiger Woods Rachel Uchitel story, a mistress allegation that Uchitel denies, will hit newsstands this weekend.
The National Enquirer’s Tiger Woods Rachel Uchitel alleged affair will be in print December 7. But before Thanksgiving, details of the Enquirer’s article surfaced online. Reports Thursday claimed Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren (aka Elin Woods) became aware of the report, fumed over it, and prompted Tiger to leave the family’s house only to have, as Tiger claims, Elin follow his SUV and strike it with a golf club.
While Rachel Uchitel dismisses Friday the report as “only” being in the National Enquirer, that report now has produced the biggest sports star alleged affair report to end the year.
Uchitel dismisses the report by stating Friday, “Not to mention that it’s in the National Enquirer.” While it may be “in” the National Enquirer, it’s headline news across not just the sporting industry but all major press this Thanksgiving weekend.
Uchitel’s response Friday disputes the Enquirer’s allegations and those of the Star.

Uchitel strangely says she was contacted by the Enquirer prior to publication but she doesn’t indicate what she told them. She says the following about the Enquirer’s report on Tiger Woods and herself.
“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.”
Uchitel doesn’t indicate what she told the publication. Instead the National Enquirer’s Dec. 7 issue states:
“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.“
The Enquirer claims Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel may have had a 2009 affair driven by alleged meetings in New York, Las Vegas and Australia. Australia

As to the Star Magazine’s report, Uchitel claims the “friend” source, Ashley Samson, is not her friend. Uchitel says Friday as to Samson:
“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.” “
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. Ashley 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’.”
Uchitel does not comment about the other source which tells the mag:
“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.”

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!“
Woods has yet to issue a response formally to either publication.
