Tiger’s wife in topless pics storm as the WABs* fly in
Tiger Woods has reacted with fury after a Dublin magazine printed topless photos of a woman which it wrongly claimed it was the superstar golfer’s wife.
Woods and the United States team are said to be “appalled” by the article in the latest issue of the Dubliner, which portrays the players’ wives and girlfriends as cheap on the eve of the Ryder Cup.
The photograph purporting to be of Woods’s wife Elin Nordegren appears in the September issue of the listings magazine. Under the headline “Ryder Cup filth for Ireland” is a picture of a topless woman.
“Most American golfers are married to women who cannot keep their clothes on in public. Is it too much to ask that they leave them at home for the Ryder Cup?”Consider the evidence – Tiger Woods’s wife Elin Nordegren – pictured left – can be found in a variety of sweaty poses on porn sites across the web…”
But the photo is not of the 26-year-old Swedish model. Sources close to the American team said Woods was dismayed at the publication and other members of the US side were very unhappy.
It goes on to claim that Chad Campbell’s wife Amy is a ” largechested singer” and suggests that Jim Furyk’s wife Tabitha ” married geeky Jim as his winnings hit £10 million”. The piece also says Sonya Toms, wife of David, finds it “liberating” to wear her bikini around the house.
The magazine has been banned from the team’s hotel.
Both sets of wives were today scheduled to attend a lunch in their honour during a Ryder Cup Race Day at the Curragh course.
The controversy comes as the WABs (Wives and Birdies) have pledged to maintain a low profile.
OK, it’s understandable that Tige would be “slightly pissed” at the fact a picture of a woman that is purported to be his wife is wandering around the internet… and even more so if she actually never posed nude. As for the fact the wives and girlfriends supposedly act outside of bounds? Each club has it’s rules and it wouldn’t surprise me to find that this club has a rule saying women should be seen politely standing behind their husbands and acting the servant, and not speaking. If they are really acting wild, then I’d be shocked.
As an aside, if I knew that golfers could end up with hot wives, I’d of taken up golf.
UPDATE: Snopes of course was on top of this with the models real name.

How’s your golf game going?
Not all that hot… to high a handicap. Looks like the wife and I will have to be hapy with each other. Then again, my wife might like being considered a hot wife.
[...] I remember seeing all the PGA players wives as Justin Leanord holed the “final” putt at the Ryder Cup in Brookline–they were all hot! You can see that final putt at Brookline here. Patrick Havens was thinking along the same lines as he wrote this post about hot golfer wives. [...]
