A leopard might change its spots... but a Tiger doesn’t change his stripes

we see how his other birdies have faired

TIGER WOODS lost it all after he was exposed as a serial love cheat.

The world’s top golfer saw his wife walk, his form falter, sponsors scatter and his popularity plunge.
But just over three years on, he has reversed his fortunes.
This week, Tiger, 37, won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and reclaimed his title as golf’s No1 — and that followed his announcement that he and Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn were an item.
They even released a loved-up “couples” photo.

Yet Lindsey, 28, might want to heed the warning of Joslyn James, who had a three-year affair with the sports star.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Joslyn, 35, says: “A leopard might change its spots, but a Tiger doesn’t change his stripes. He told me I was the only girl having sex with him. We know that wasn’t true. He lied to me and the others. Why should he have changed?”
The adult film star wishes Lindsey luck, but adds: “Rather her than me. Considering how many lies he told, his new girlfriend must be very trusting. I know I trusted him for a long time. But I suppose everyone deserves a second chance.”
Tiger’s world was blasted apart in November 2009.
Days after a US magazine claimed he was having a fling with club hostess Rachel Uchitel, he was found in his crashed car outside his £1.5million Florida home.

His wife Elin Nordegren, mother of his two children, was standing over him wielding a golf club, having chased him from the mansion after Uchitel texted him. It opened the floodgates for all the other women he had been seeing to come forward.
“Tiger’s birdies” included porn stars, models, cocktail waitresses, single mums and escort girls, and their sordid revelations tarnished his crown.
Waitress Mindy Lawton described how they had sex at his home while Elin was away. And escort girl Loredana Jolie revealed he liked threesomes.
The once highly respected sports hero became a figure of fun overnight, his wife walked out and sponsors ditched him.
Desperate to make amends, Tiger checked into a sex rehab clinic and made a televised apology watched by millions.
It failed to stop Elin leaving with the kids and a £66million divorce settlement. Joslyn, among the first to apologise for hurting Elin, now regrets ever meeting Tiger.
During their affair, which lasted from 2006 to 2009, she got pregnant twice but never told him. She miscarried the first baby and terminated the second. Then, when their affair was exposed, she got death threats from Tiger’s fans.
Joslyn says: “People were sending me letters saying they were going to kill me. I was in fear of my life.
“All I did was tell the truth about my affair. My life was turned upside down because of him. I’ve moved on, but it was bad.
“If I’d known what was going to happen to me I’d never have said anything and certainly not begun an affair with Woods.
“I never heard from Tiger It’s fine that he has moved on, but some of the girls have not been so lucky. They might have been damaged by their relationship.
“They could have issues that stem from their time with him.”
Here’s what happened to some of Tiger’s other birdies.
