This article contains additional information from a “reliable source” who claims to have inside knowledge of certain events relating to the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal.
NOTE: This is the second of a 2-part article with inside information about the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal. Click here to read Part 1.
The information in this article comes from Furman Bisher, a respected sportswriter who posted it on his personal blog. Bisher cites as his source, an anonymous, but trustworthy fellow journalist whom he’s known for years.
You’ll note that some of the information corresponds with what has already been reported.
But much of this information is new. It explains why Tiger Woods has not been seen in public for over a month, where Tiger has been all this time, and fills in the blanks about what really happened to Tiger before and after the car crash that led to the exposure of his secret sex life.
Below are the highlights of the account from Bisher’s trustworthy source.
Events Leading Up to the Crash
After Thanksgiving dinner, Tiger was watching a football game on TV, while exchanging text messages with Rachel Uchitel. A friend called to invite him to a poker game at the Isleworth club house, and Tiger left home around 7:30 pm. He left his cell phone behind with a text message from Rachel that he forgot to delete.
When Tiger returned home around midnight, his wife, Elin confronted him about the Uchitel text. Tiger admitted nothing, and told Elin she was overreacting, even though she pleaded with him to come clean.
Elin continued to grill Tiger, and he continued to lie and deny (as most cheaters do when they get caught).
At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9-iron, causing a large gash on the right side of his face next to his nose, dislodging two of his upper teeth, and breaking the bone on the upper right side of his face.
Tiger ran barefooted through the house to his car, with Elin chasing after him, swinging the golf club left and right and smashing furniture and artwork as she followed in hot pursuit.
Tiger jumped in his Escalade and attempted to speed away. But Elin smashed the rear window with the club, whereupon Tiger lost control of the car and crashed into a fire hydrant and a neighbor's tree.
What Happened After the Crash
Elin panicked after Tiger crashed and wasn’t sure what to tell the police, which is why they got two conflicting stories from her.
Elin called Tiger’s agent, Mark Steinberg, told him what happened, and where they were headed and Steinberg met them at the hospital.
A doctor there recommended a cosmetic dentist and plastic surgeon in Phoenix whom he said could “make Tiger look as if nothing happened.
Steinberg arranged for a private plane to fly Tiger to Phoenix, Arizona to have the damage to his face and teeth repaired.
After Tiger was released from the hospital that Friday, instead of returning home; he and Steinberg boarded a private plane for Phoenix, where Tiger stayed until returning to Florida late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
That’s why Tiger was unavailable when the police came to question him after the crash.
Reconstructive Surgery - No Public Appearances
However, it turned out that the reconstructive surgery was more involved than originally anticipated.
Until he recovers from the surgery to his face, Tiger is not expected to make any public appearances.
It will be at least another month before he’ll be able to appear on camera. So until that time he will probably continue to stay out of sight.

Where Has Tiger Been All This Time?
Reports that Tiger and Rachel Uchitel are still seeing each other are false.
Tiger's yacht is currently docked close to Rachel Uchitel's parents' home in Palm Beach (they live 6 blocks away), but Tiger, himself was not in that area.
Until recently, Tiger had been residing in Bay Hill, an upscale golf community in Orlando, where he has been hitting golf balls late at night out of their teaching center, which is equipped with lights.
Tiger has also been spending time with Arnold Palmer, was asked to reach out to Tiger in the midst of his troubles, since Tiger holds Palmer in such high esteem.
Other Inside Information
The moving trucks reportedly seen outside Tiger’s Isleworth home, were there to remove the furniture and artwork damaged by Elin when she went on her golf club rampage.
For a while, Tiger and Elin were undergoing intense marriage counseling sessions - up to 7 hours a day. Neither one wants a divorce.
Although Elin has retained a divorce attorney, she has not filed any papers, and has no intention of doing so.
These are the facts, according to Furman Bisher’s trustworthy source.

Crazy terrorist girl! She should be in jail now!

I think that this letter posted by Furman Bisher is a publicity stunt created by Tiger's team to present him as a victim and as a way to explain his disappearance since the scandal broke up. They are trying to protect the "Tiger brand" at all cost after the media is reporting that Tiger's stocks are down everywhere. The paramedics and the neighbors stated that Tiger had a bloody lip, not the injuries of the magnitude reported on Mr. Bisher's letter.
The true victims on all this are: Elin Nordegren and her two small children.I hope that someday Elin Nordegren will find a true man that respect and love her and the children. A man that could be a better father figure and role model to the children than Tiger
I just found the following update:
December 30, 2009, (Sawf News) - Press reports that Tiger Woods is living it up with his 'prime' mistress Rachel Uchitel in Palm Beach, Florida, are likely planted by the nightclub hostess herself.
"There are a lot of rumors being put out by Rachel's camp to make sure she is still linked to Tiger and to keep her in the limelight. She's enjoying this and is milking it," a source told Page Six.
Carmen you speak so casually about Tiger being removed from his kids lives and replaced by 'some' other man. I have been through that, the kids suffer the most. I know you must have been 'hurt' by whatshisname but you need to get past it and stop projecting.
Tiger and Elin are actually doing precisely what is best for them at this time. I hope they do find some way to forgive, respect and rebuild each other. It would make them both greater than they were before whatever happened.
