Washington, April 29: Tiger Woods has confessed to cheating with as many as 120 women behind his wife’s back during their five-year marriage, it was claimed today.
But a one-night stand with the 21-year-old daughter of a neighbour in Florida was the final straw for Elin Nordegren, according to the National Enquirer magazine in the US.
The Enquirer claimed the distraught mother-of-two decided to sign divorce papers after learning it was investigating Woods’ alleged fling with Raychel Coudriet, whom he had reportedly known since she was just 14.
The scandal-plagued golfer was said to have listed all the women he bedded as part of his treatment for sex addiction at the Gentle Path rehab centre in Mississippi earlier this year, The Courier-Mail reports.

But a source told the magazine that Woods left his young neighbour off the list.
After learning of the claim, a furious Ms Nordegren, 30, allegedly called Woods while he was having dinner with friends following his golf comeback at the US masters.
“She was screaming so loudly that everyone at the table could hear what she was saying,” a source told the magazine.
Woods’ estranged wife was quoted as saying: “This is the worst betrayal ever. I can’t believe you had sex with that girl in our own neighbourhood. That’s it – I’m divorcing you.”
The Enquirer claimed the seduction happened last May just yards from where his wife was caring from their new-born baby.
Woods, 34, adamantly denied having a fling with Miss Goudriet, now a 22-year-old student at the University of Alabama.
Her father is a builder who constructed 17 homes in the upscale community where Woods lives in Isleworth near Orlando, Florida.
