Tiger Woods has a Love Child claims mistress and How Tiger Woods Killed a National Enquirer Affair Story in 2007: New details on how Tiger Woods’ representatives killed a National Enquirer story on his infidelity by giving an extensive cover interview to Men’s Fitness have emerged.

Earlier reports said that the National Enquirer killed a story on a Woods affair in 2007 in exchange for a Men’s Fitness feature on the golfer.

According to new reports, National Enquirer’s main owner, American Media’s CEO David Pecker knew about Tiger Woods’ infidelity a long time ago but he traded silence for a Men’s Fitness cover story”. The editor-in-chief of the Men’s Fitness magazine left shortly thereafter in disgust, the NY Post reported.

And while American Media who owns both publications National Enquirer and Men’s Fitness, has denied the quid-pro-quo deal, the Wall Street Journal today reported further details of the story:

Mr. Woods had cut an unusual deal with American Media Inc., the owner of both Men’s Fitness magazine and the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper. Mr. Woods agreed to the cover shot and photo spread in Men’s Fitness, whose circulation of about 700,000 per issue is less than half of Golf Digest’s nearly 1.7 million, in return for the National Enquirer squelching a story and photographs purportedly showing Mr. Woods in a liaison with a woman who wasn’t his wife, according to people directly involved in the arrangement.

The Enquirer reportedly had photographs of Woods and a Florida waitress named Mindy Lawton in a car together in a church parking lot in “late winter or early spring of 2007,” the WSJ reports. The paper cites an individual who saw the pictures in reporting that “the photos were so poorly lit that it was nearly impossible to tell what the couple was doing in the parking lot” and that “it was unlikely the story could have been published without more evidence.”

Still, when the Enquirer approached Woods’ representatives about the photos, the reps almost immediately “made an offer,” the influential WSJ reported. It said:

If the Enquirer dropped the story, Mr. Woods would sit for an elaborate interview for sister publication Men’s Fitness, according to people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

Meanwhile, a Tiger Woods mistress claims $3 million to keep silence about a lovechild: A woman who claims to have Tiger Woods’ love child wants 1.5 million pounds to keep silent.

Reports are emerging that Tiger Woods’ alleged mistress Theresa Rogers is seeking a $3 million settlement from the golfer claiming she bore his love child.

The internet magazine RadarOnline.com reported today that Tiger Wwas in relationship with Rogers and then the child was born.

Another report says that Rogers was simultaneously seeing a Serbian basketball player and the love child may be the result of that relationship.
