*A new Vanity Fair profile of Tiger Woods, featuring interviews from several of his close friends and former transgressions, exposes the golfer as a cheapskate whose friendship with NBA friends didn’t make things any better on the home front.
Woods’ girlfriend Mindy Lawton tells Vanity Fair the only thing he ever bought her was a chicken wrap from Subway, while Jamie Jungers blamed her breakup from the golfer on his refusal to help her financially. Jungers also reveals that all of her hookups with Tiger were organized through his childhood friend Bryon Bell, contradicting Woods’s recent statements that no one in his inner circle knew about his affairs.
In addition to Bell – also the president of Tiger Woods Design – his agent Mark Steinberg appeared to be in on the athlete’s extramarital shenanigans. Lawton says when she alerted Woods that the National Enquirer was onto their affair, Woods put her in contact with Steinberg, who reportedly said, “We’ll take care of it.”
Speaking on Wednesday’s “Today” show, writer Mark Seal said his Vanity Fair article is about a man who presented himself as a paragon of family values who was, in fact, leading a secret double life. The piece also claims his hard-partying basketball friends helped to lead him astray. [Story continues below 'Today" clip.]
“When Tiger showed up in Vegas, he was always with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley,” Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke tells the magazine.

Woods had been warned about the two men by his lawyer, John Merchant, who, according to the article, said of Jordan: “Stay away from that son of a b*tch, because he doesn’t have anything to offer to the f—— world in which he lives except playing basketball.”
Asks Merchant: “Are they his black role models? You’ve got to be kidding me.”
As for another role model, Seal’s investigation reports Woods’s late father, Earl, was a womanizer, with a possible drinking problem, as well.
At an awards dinner, one observer recalls for Seal, “Everybody was in coat and tie, and Earl’s sitting there in these little hot pants – short-shorts – and a golf shirt, and he’s got a big old vodka gimlet going and a cigarette burning, and he’s sound asleep, just hammered, s***faced. And the announcer says, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, Earl Woods!’ And he jumped up, spilled his drink all over the front of his shirt … And he gets up there at the podium and starts talking psychobabble.”
Vanity Fair’s May issue, which contains the full text of “The Temptation of Tiger Woods,” with photographs of the four women by Mark Seliger, hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on March 31 and nationwide on April 7. Watch promo video of article and photo shoot below.

I read a long article this morning about Tiger and who lead him astray…two Black men…Jordan and Barkley. No wonder Tiger has cut them loose. His non-Black friends were the ones handling the meet-ups with those skanks, and by all accounts I believe Tiger out-ran Jordan and Barkley put together. I have no love for Jordan or Barkley but I saw this scapegoating coming a mile away. Blame Blackie!
The Tiger Woods sex/cheating scandal just will not go away. Tiger is returning to the PGA tour next week and the media is having a field day with articles and such and the sluts are coming out again in full force. LOL The bimbos are still looking for some monetary gin from alll of this even the ones who were already paid hush money. This is what Tiger gets for being a male skank.
correction- should be monetary gain
I think it’s just “rich” that hos are coming out trying to put Lysol on their shat. If you were having sex with Tiga, you ain’t got no moral high ground to preach from ho.
Got damn, is the world turned on its head? 
Agree with you Exmun.
Ex, I agree, that is what trips me out about the whole thing too…. Everybody is salivating over these tricks providing all these details when they are home wrecking hoes, who went after Tiger for pure monetary gain. They knew from the jump that he was married and they still engaged in whatever activity. the one chick asked for $$ and Tiger said no and cut her off, now she wanna be in Vanity Fair hollerin bout he is a cheapskate. No bytch, you put yourself out there like a cheap ho and you got played like one. All is fair in the game of cheating….Oh and Tiger is the lone bad guy in all of this? PULEAZE!!
ain’t that sumethin’…”will FVCK for wraps”, they really are two-bit trollops. nad his stupid-ass for fvcking cheap women and you don’t even have to GIVE/BUY them anything?!?! Who couldn’t smell a set-up? …….lilmocc, Tiger and his dick wrecked his home, those handy-hoes were just disposables. Nobody can wreck your home unless you give them the keys.
LOL!!!!…”will FVCK for wraps” !!!!!
What riles me is the media’s insistence of calling these women mistresses versus tricks or hoes like they should be called.
I thought a mistress received some type of financial benefits from her affair with a married man. These women from most accounts received nothing. And, old girl in the article said the only thing old boy bought her was a Subway wrap. Not even a down and out hoe would give up the goodies for a Subway wrap.
But, I shouldn’t be surprised. As long as white folks are involved, the media will spin it as best it can and find a way to place MOST of the blame on the cablanasian.
If nothing else comes out of this media circus, I honestly hope Tiger finally received his ‘nigga wake-up’ call and realizes what white folks truly think about him.
They call them mistresses to give them some measure of respectability.
Melody > > Everything you said is right on point. I’m sure Tiger, Jordan and Barkley shared the same women because all of them are constantly running after white women. Also, some years ago it was in a well known sport’s magazine that Earl Woods was a womanizer.
Yes, Earl was a big womanizer from what I heard as well…the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree it seems. One of Tiger’s girlfriends from back in the day claims he called her literally crying about his dad’s cheating. Tiger is obviously straight up “sneaky” and deceitful. From the beginning of the scandal Barkley and Jordan were whining they couldn’t get ahold of Tiger and his number had changed…bet he’s groveling at the feet of all those whites who vilified him tho…which is typical of them.
Ever since Superhead, hoes/jump-offs now have a media platform to get fame/money fast & easy. Sad. Evidently, w/the exception of the woman in 1st pic, his standards in white woman is the same as Jordan’s(not attractive).
She white ain’t she? Well that’s the sole measure.
Kensbroh, skanky women have been squealing on men for eons. They came out on JFK, Elvis, Clinton…you name them so don’t try to pin this trend on Super…she took her lead from them in fact.
Melody, I didn’t know y’all had it going on like that over here. I’ve been avoiding the article. Like, ‘whateva. Another skanky Tiger Woods ho. Who gives a fuck.’
I decided to take a peep and that shit they said about Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan …
You right though. It’s like, let’s get some other Blackie to sink with Tiger. Of course Charles and Michael fit the bill – yt womanizers and all.
But I hope Tiger is smart enough to see the racial undertones. I don’t think his father was the best role model, but it’s like we go’ smear him as much as possible too. Can the dead RIP?
Reds, it seems as though they might be trying to balance things out with so many skanks and white critics on Tiger’s tail. Tiger has obviously fallen for this ploy since he cut Barkley/Jordan off with the quickness at the very beginning. Even Spike Lee was trying to holla at Tiger to no avail. It’s like he’s saying…”y’all bad news”, but I bet he’s groveling for forgiveness from the very ones that were ripping him in the press. One of the women said Jordan tried to snag her on the way to meet Tiger and she pulled away from…making him run after her shouting “I’m Michael Jordan…and I will find you!” That sounds like a very desperate craving.
They are really ripping Tiger for being a cheapskate. The mother of one skank told her daughter…”you’re dating Tiger Woods…why does he have you flying Southwest rather than first class on another airline”. This was on all the evening shows last night.
Damn Melody. I didn’t know MJ yty feitish was that bad.
I think MJ, Charles and Tiger even bet on how many skanks they could pull. Talk about not being a role model.
