INSIDE EDITION POSTED 12/2/09

Tiger Woods’s image as a professional athlete and a dedicated family man was shattered with reports of the golf star’s alleged infidelities. INSIDE EDITION takes a closer look at the four women at the center of the scandal, including his wife Elin.

Her fiancé was killed, and friends say she spiraled into an emotional breakdown. Both Uchitel and Woods deny any improper relationship.

“The cheating is not about finding the next wife, the cheating is about the excitement of sex with someone new that makes you feel like you are the hottest being on earth,” explains clinical psychologist Gail Saltz.

And yet another alleged mistress, the third to be linked to Tiger Woods since his now-notorious car crash, is Kalika Moquin, a 27-year-old Las Vegas night club manager.

Reports say she and Tiger Woods have been having a steamy affair for several months. She told Life & Style magazine, “It is not appropriate for me to comment one way or the other.”

And then there’s Woods’s 29-year-old wife, Elin, a former model and the mother of his two children.

Saltz tells INSIDE EDITION, “When men cheat they’re not thinking about getting caught and they’re not thinking therefore what they’re going to lose. And they’re not picking a woman who’s more attractive necessarily than their wife.”

Six weeks ago Tiger Woods described their lifestyle as low-key and even “boring.”

“Elin and I have avoided media attention because we’re kind of boring…there are a lot of evenings we’ll just rent a movie and stay home,” he said.

It’s a sharp contrast with the picture emerging of his other life, with women from late night party scene.

Tiger Woods might be laying low for a while. The next tournament he’s scheduled to play in is not until January in San Diego, California.
