Kultida and Elin look on as Woods is presented with the ceremonial green jacket after he won the 2002 Masters .Kultida Woods says she is 'angry and disappointed' with her son
Tiger Woods' mother has hit out at her son, saying she is 'angry and disappointed' with him, according to a family friend.
However, Kultida Woods has vowed to stand by her 33-year-old son, despite being 'furious' over his infidelity.
'[She] is hurt, angry and disappointed in Tiger,' the friend told People magazine.
'She wants to know how he could do this to his family.'
But, despite reportedly dealing with infidelity in her own marriage, 65-year-old Kultida is trying to forgive her son, according to the source.
'She loves him and will support him through anything, but she needs some time to work through this.'
'It was devastating to her. She likes Elin, and adores her grandchildren.
'She's worried about them. She doesn't want to see them hurt,' said the family friend.
Woods' father, Earl Woods, who died from prostate cancer a couple of years ago, was allegedly unfaithful to Thai-born Kultida several years ago.
The golfer was said to have been 'devastated' when he learned of his father's infidelity.
Kultida's anger comes as Elin Woods prepares for divorce and a custody battle over her and Woods' two young children, Sam, two, and Charlie, ten months.
Woods is thought to have cheated on Elin with up to 14 mistresses.
It is reported the ex-model had been prepared to discuss joint custody arrangements with Woods, but his refusal to see a doctor for his reported sex addiction has prompted Elin, 29, to limit his involvement in the children's lives.
One of Elin's close friends told the Sunday Mirror: 'She can't believe Tiger's behaviour. He says he wants to save the marriage, but he's not doing anything about it.
'He's hiding out like a child and refusing to go to rehab to get the treatment he needs. She's so mad at him, she's flipping out.
'Everyone wants Tiger to get treatment and going down that road was his only real chance of delaying the divorce, but he wouldn't even sit through therapy.
'Elin has had enough now,' the friend told the newspaper. 'She's made up her mind that she's going for custody.'
It is reported that Elin will instruct her lawyer, legendary Hollywood divorce specialist Sorrell Trope, to fight for half of Woods' £340million fortune along with full custody of the children.
But legal experts told the Sunday Mirror Elin is unlikely to win full custody as Woods' home state of Florida is 'dad-friendly' and his serial cheating would not count unless Elin can prove his behaviour made him 'a detriment' to his children.

Crew attempted to disguise the yacht by covering its name up.Speculation is mounting that the golfer is about to break cover in 'Privacy' in an attempt to flee the scandal and try to repair his marriage
Tiger Woods was accused last night of spending tens of thousands of pounds on high-priced escort girls when he was away from home playing in golf tournaments.
The shamed golfer reportedly sometimes bedded two at a time, according to a notorious Hollywood madam who claimed she knew he had paid around £37,000 for call girls.
Michelle Braun told the New York Post she sent at least four escorts on pay-for-sex dates with the married father-of-two six times in 2006 and 2007.
'He liked girl-on-girl. He had sex with them together,' she said.
The tawdry twist comes as Tiger Woods last night admitted he was a love cheat as he announced he was taking an 'indefinite break' from golf.'
In a message posted on his website the 33-year-old confirmed his affairs and admitted he is 'profoundly sorry' for the hurt he has caused wife Elin Nordegren.
Tiger, who previously had only referred to 'transgressions', wrote: 'I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.'
The latest developments in the cheating scandal came as a lingerie model named as one of Woods's mistresses confirmed they had a two-year affair, but insisted: 'I got nothing out of this relationship but a broken heart.'
Jamie Jungers, 26, said on America's Today breakfast show that she had no misgivings about bedding Woods. 'I had a lot of feelings towards him.
'It wasn't just a sexual situation. I loved him. I'm certainly not going to say it was wrong. I don't believe I owe her an apology,' she added, referring to Woods's wife, Elin.
She adamantly denied that Woods ever paid her for sex and insisted: 'I have nothing to do with prostitution. There will always be a place in my heart for Tiger.'
She said she met Woods at a Las Vegas club in 2005. 'It kind of became clear to me that Tiger was interested.
'The more we drank, the more flirtatious we got. I had a crush on him for a while. I was excited and honoured he wanted to meet me,' she added.
The Las Vegas bikini model claimed they had sex and she thought it would just be a one-night stand, but she said: 'It became more and more of an actual relationship.'
She claimed she spent a night at the Los Angeles home Woods owns with his wife. 'He didn't try to hide the relationship. People were taking our pictures in the nightclubs. We went together to restaurants.'
Another woman accused of a fling with the 33-year-old golfer, adult film star Holly Sampson, 36, said yesterday that she also had sex with Woods, but claimed it was on his stag night before his 2004 marriage.
'I am not a home-wrecker. Although I enjoyed our time together, I never was and never will be one of Tiger's mistresses,' she told showbiz gossip website TMZ.
Both Jungers and Sampson denied allegations by convicted madam Michelle Braun that they had worked as escorts in the past.
Braun named a tenth woman whom she alleged had sex with the golfer as Loredana Jolie, a Sicilian-born New York prostitute she described as 'one of his favourites'.
'She's a stunning girl. He went out with her four or five times. They met up in 2006 or early 2007. I'd say he paid £9,000 for her,' Braun told the New York Daily News.
Woods 'had a pretty big appetite for women', she said.
'He was rarely with just one girl,' she said. 'He usually wanted more. He liked three-ways. He could go for days.
'He'd pay a flat rate for an evening, but an evening would usually be extended. The girls would talk about his stamina.
'He'd shower them with gifts, he was very polite and he was amazing in bed, very sensual and well endowed,' she added.
She claimed Woods would spend as much as £25,000 a weekend for his illicit liaisons in cities where he was playing golf.
'He would request the college-cutie, girl-next-door look. Most of the girls understood it was a business relationship.
'Tiger made it clear this was a good time and his wife would always be in the picture,' she told the Daily News.
Loredana Jolie, the girl identified by Braun, told the New York Post that Woods gave her 'a ring, a pair of diamond studs and a watch'.
'He came off being a really nice person with me. He had manners. I have nothing bad to say about him,' she said.
Braun was sentenced last month to three years probation and six months house detention after pleading guilty to money laundering and prostitution charges connected to the stable of women she supplied to wealthy clients, who would pay as much as £6,000 for a date.
A possible 11th mistress - an 'extremely attractive' woman in her 40s - was said last night to have hired celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred to represent her.
The LA lawyer is already alleged to have negotiated a million-pound deal with Woods for one of his alleged lovers, 34-year-old Rachel Uchitel, in return for her silence.
Woods has not been seen since crashing his car outside his Florida home more than a fortnight ago and, other than an apology for his ' transgressions' posted on his website last week, has refused to respond to the increasingly lurid stories about his unravelling private life.
There were suggestions last night that he may be planning to escape with his 29-year-old Swedish wife on a trip on his £13.5 million boat, ironically named Privacy, which is docked at a marina in North Palm Beach, Florida.
Woods's wife has told friends that she is prepared to give her straying husband a chance to save their marriage for the sake of their two children, Sam, two, and tenmonthold Charlie.
It emerged yesterday that the golfer's London lawyers took out a High Court injunction on Thursday to block any British newspapers from publishing any naked photographs of Woods.
They insisted, however, that the order was not an admission that the pictures existed. Playgirl magazine in the U.S. claimed earlier this week that it was offered nude photos of the sportsman and were checking to see if they were authentic.
'I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.
'I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try.
'I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding.
'What's most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.
'After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.
'Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period' "

A major sponsor of Tiger Woods will phase the world's most valuable athlete out of its advertisements while he takes time off to repair his personal life.
"As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs," Gillette said Saturday.
The announcement by the Procter & Gamble division marks the first major sponsor of the superstar athlete and corporate pitchman to distance itself from Woods.
The news comes a day after Woods announced an indefinite leave from golf and public life to repair his marriage. Woods has been embroiled in a public scandal for two weeks since a car accident exposed Woods' alleged marital infidelity.
Woods is the pitchman for brands ranging from AT&T to Accenture to Nike. His array of endorsements helped him become the first sports star to earn $1 billion.
Nike, which built its $650 million golf business around Woods, said late Friday it supports his decision. AT&T said it is evaluating its relationship with Woods.
Woods will be phased out from Gillette's television and print advertising, and from public appearances and other efforts linking the two entities together, Gillette spokesman Damon Jones said.
"This is supporting his desire to step out of the public eye and we're going to support him by helping him to take a lower profile," he said.
The company has had a contract with Woods since 2007. Jones declined to provide further details, including length and value, of the contract.
Woods hasn't been seen in a prime-time television commercial since a Gillette spot on Nov. 29, according to the research firm Nielsen Co.
Jones said that was because golf is currently off-season, so the company is promoting new products like Gillette Fusion MVP with football and baseball stars instead, because those seasons are more current.
As any ads featuring Woods expire, they will not be renewed. Jones said that did not mean the company was severing its ties with Woods. There had been no upcoming scheduled public appearances for Woods, he said.
He declined to comment on when the company would resume including Woods in its marketing, and would not say whether that would be linked with the timing of Woods comeback, when and if he decides to resume playing golf.
Two weeks that shattered the legend of Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods had to be a happy man as he settled into a seat on his private jet for the long flight home from Australia. His successful comeback year was all but complete, and the rapturous reception he received Down Under was a pleasant reminder of his status as the most sought-after athlete in the world.
Not since the Beatles toured more than 40 years ago had the Aussies laid out such a welcome. Woods got a $3 million check just for showing up, the arrival of his jet was televised nationally, and fans jammed every fairway and green just to be able to say they saw him.
As he headed out, someone mentioned he had never seen such a frenzy at a tournament.
"I never have, either," Woods said.
Always in control, he teased them with a vague promise he would return. If he did, they could be sure it would be on his own terms, and they could be sure the price would go up.
The flight finally over, there was some time to recharge before capping the season with his own elite tournament in the hills north of Los Angeles. In between, Woods would fuel the jet for a quick trip to Stanford and induction in the school's athletic Hall of Fame.
He appeared on the sideline that night as honorary captain of the Big Game against California. For those lucky enough to be holding cameras, it was the perfect photo op of what seemed to be the perfect, blended All-American family.
The son of an African-American military man and Thai woman stood in his red Stanford sweat shirt, holding a red Cardinal hat in one arm and his 2-year-old daughter in another. His equally photogenic Swedish wife, Elin, stood next to him, wearing dark glasses with a scarf wrapped fashionably around her neck.
The day before, Woods had answered some questions for the 1.3 million followers of his Facebook page. The last one came from a fan named Rupert in Houston, who wondered how hard it was to leave his family and travel to tournaments.
"It's very difficult to leave Elin and the children, and I'm sure it's only going to get tougher," Woods replied.
Woods couldn't have known how tough things were going to get.
___
The first indication outside the Woods household that things might not be what they seemed came from the National Enquirer, which ran a story in its Thanksgiving week edition alleging that Woods was having an affair with a New York woman named Rachel Uchitel, who has denied it.
Inside the house, though, it might have been different. Another alleged mistress, Jaimee Grubbs, would later provide Us Weekly magazine a voice mail she said came from Woods two days before Thanksgiving, asking her do him a favor.
"Um, can you please, uh, take your name off your phone," said a man who identified himself as Tiger. "My wife went through my phone and, uh, may be calling you."
A few days later, people across the nation standing in lines to buy things on Black Friday heard some startling news: Woods had been seriously injured in a car accident outside his Florida home and was taken to a local hospital.
For many, shock turned to relief when word came later in the day that the accident and the injuries were minor and Woods was back home recuperating. But the questions were already starting to come.
Where was Woods going at 2:25 in the morning? How could he wreck his Cadillac Escalade so badly coming out of the driveway? Was it possible he could have been drunk or on drugs?
Then came the first bizarre revelation. The local police chief told The Associated Press that Elin had smashed in the back passenger windows of the Escalade with a golf club, ostensibly to help get her husband out.
The Florida Highway Patrol was curious to hear more. Inside the Woods mansion, though, they were already hunkering down.
Troopers went to the home the day of the accident, only to be told Woods was asleep. They arranged to come back the next day, only to be told he was too sore to talk. When they came back a third time, it was clear that no one would be saying anything. Not to authorities, certainly not to the media.
The silent strategy had always worked well for Woods whenever he didn't want to discuss other issues, whether it was women at Augusta National or his responsibilities to be a role model for young African-Americans. He had always controlled the message and, if he really wanted to make a point, it would be done in a clever Nike ad or from the safe confines of his Web site.
But this was different. This didn't just appeal to golf writers or the mainstream media.
The other tabloids geared up to find whatever dirt the National Enquirer didn't. Celebrity Web sites were suddenly filled with pictures of other women and tales which had never been told.
Helicopters hovered over his house in the gated community of Isleworth, looking for video of something that would sell. His mother was followed by paparazzi through an airport, and a small army of media fanned out looking for anything Tiger-related.
Woods wasn't giving them anything. He stayed out of public view, saying nothing even as rumors flew and speculation intensified about what he was doing when he drove wildly over a fire hydrant and into a tree. There were even more questions about what his wife was doing with the golf clubs.
His first public comments came the Sunday after the accident, and they weren't much, just a statement on his Web site saying the accident was his fault and asking that it remain "a private matter." The next day he issued another short statement saying he was withdrawing from his own tournament, sparing himself the spectacle of facing media in Los Angeles who would be ready with questions about everything except golf.
Woods almost certainly hoped that would be the end of it. The events of Thanksgiving weekend may have been embarrassing — even a bit humiliating — but Uchitel was denying she had an affair with him, and authorities didn't seem all that interested in pursuing the backstory to the crash.
The next day, Florida state troopers dropped their probe, citing Woods for careless driving and fining him $164. That bit of good news was short-lived, however, as Grubbs, a Los Angeles cocktail waitress, told Us Weekly she had engaged in a 31-month affair with Woods and had the text messages and a voice mail to prove it.
Three hours after the voice mail appeared on the magazine's Web site, another statement was issued on Woods' Web site, under the almost comical headline "Tiger comments on current events."
This was a more contrite Woods, apologizing for the first time for unspecified "transgressions" and saying he had let his family down. But he still stubbornly sparred from a distance with the media encircling him, saying he had a right to privacy no matter how high profile of a life he led.
"The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family," Woods' statement read. "Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."
By now, events were clearly spiraling far beyond anything Woods could have ever imagined. In less than a week he had gone from being one of the most admired people in the world to a punch line to jokes flowing freely in offices everywhere and on late-night television.
His popularity ratings were plunging. Crisis management experts around the country crowded in front of news cameras urging him to stop hiding behind Web site statements and come clean to the public — and quick.
Still, there was no sight of Woods. The statements stopped, and he remained in seclusion.
His alleged lovers weren't so shy. Suddenly women began appearing seemingly everywhere on Web sites and magazines to claim they had affairs with Woods. Two became four, four began eight, and by some counts 10 or 12 or more.
Worse yet, they didn't mind sharing intimate details about the alleged encounters. Soon, anyone with a computer or iPhone was privy to what they claimed to know about Woods and what he liked to do behind closed doors.
Woods spent almost all his life keeping score on the golf course. Now people were keeping score on him.
Nothing, it seemed, could satisfy the insatiable appetite of the celebrity media to find out more about Woods, and their reports had no trouble finding an audience. Traffic to the biggest sites jumped 50 percent or more, and major portals weren't shy about further blurring the line between gossip and real news by blogging along details without necessarily checking out the source.
With good reason. Yahoo Inc. CEO Carol Bartz told an investor conference that the Woods story was "better than Michael Jackson dying" for bringing people to her site and helping the company sell enough extra advertising to boost profits.
The mayor of Las Vegas thought the same thing. With many of Woods' alleged lovers having links to the city and with Woods well known in Vegas casinos and nightclubs, Oscar Goodman said it would provide a boost to the local economy even if people no longer believed that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Still, Woods remained in seclusion.
A police report released Monday in support of a Florida trooper who suspected Woods was driving under the influence merely upped the ante. The trooper had wanted Woods' blood test results, after a witness who wasn't identified in the report said Woods had been drinking alcohol earlier and had been prescribed two drugs, the sleep aid Ambien and the painkiller Vicodin.
The next day his mother-in-law was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in the bathroom. A frantic call from a woman who was either Elin or her twin sister was quickly released, complete with the sound of a child crying in the background.
None of it was funny, but that didn't stop the jokes. Every nighttime television host had his own, and what the professionals missed was filled in by amateur comedians.
An animation from Taiwan showing a very Asian-looking Woods crashing his car was an Internet hit, and a country-western song about him was released. Someone posted another Barry White-like song on YouTube, using the voice mail Woods allegedly left Grubbs with a backing chorus, and at Hollywood Park a horse named driveliketiger finished third in a race.
Though most of his fellow players expressed support for Woods and were careful about what they said, the player who introduced Woods to his wife wasn't as forgiving. Elin Nordegren worked as a nanny for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik when she and Woods first met, and Parnevik thought they would be a good match.
"I told her this is the guy that I think is everything you want. He's true. He's honest. He has great values. He has everything you would want in a guy," Parnevik said in an ESPN interview. "And, uhh, I was wrong."
Even his own management company piled on.
Barry Frank, IMG's executive vice president for media sports programming, was on a panel about college sports media, where all the panelists were asked what sports business story they would be following closely in the next year.
"How many girls Tiger was with," Frank said.
___
Exactly two weeks after the accident, another statement was posted on Woods' Web site.
For the first time Woods admitted he had been unfaithful. "I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children," he said.
He asked for forgiveness, and said he didn't know if it would ever be possible to repair the damage he caused.
Then he announced what would have been unthinkable only days earlier: He was taking an indefinite break from golf to try to mend his fractured family life.
Before the crash and before the women started coming forward, Woods was staring at 2010 with great anticipation. He was playing perhaps better than ever, and three of the four major golf championships were at courses where he had won majors by runaway margins in previous years.
Now there's a possibility he could miss the Masters for the first time in 14 years. He might not play in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, where he won by a record 15 strokes in 2000.
No one knows when he will return, and whether he can retain the famous focus that had made him arguably the greatest golfer ever. The state of his marriage is also anyone's guess, and there has been no shortage of speculation about the future of the Woods household.
In just a matter of days an empire and a legend came crashing down in ways no one would have imagined. The perfect firestorm enveloped Woods and, for once in his life, he had no way of controlling what was happening around him.
The fall from grace has been both sudden and spectacular. At the peak of power just last month, he now faces an uncertain future that can't be changed with some clever marketing campaign.
This wasn't just another case of an athlete gone bad. Woods was the 2-year-old hitting golf balls on the Mike Douglas show, the teenager who won three straight U.S. Amateurs, and the first African-American to win the Masters.
He was the talent so great that Nike introduced him as a professional with an advertising blitz behind the tagline "Hello World," and the figure so imposing that his late father, Earl, predicted he would not only become greater than athletes such as Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson, but one of the greatest figures in world history.
"He's qualified through his ethnicity to accomplish miracles. He's the bridge between the East and the West," Earl Woods said in 1996. There is no limit because he has the guidance. I don't know yet exactly what form this will take. But he is the Chosen One."
Woods may not have accomplished miracles, but he did some miraculous things on the golf course. His legend grew with every win as he closed in on the records of Jack Nicklaus, and even a knee injury that cost him the last half of 2008 couldn't stop his march to greatness.
His family life seemed as perfect as his golf. He married the beautiful Elin five years ago, they honeymooned on his yacht "Privacy" and soon started a family that includes two young children.
Even those who didn't appreciate his play on the course admired him as a man, above the scandalous behavior of so many sports superstars these days.
Now, no one will ever look at him the same way again.

Tiger Woods was at the centre of yet another crisis yesterday after his mother-in-law was taken to hospital in the middle of the night.
In the latest dramatic twist, Barbro Holmberg, 57, is believed to have fallen ill after confronting the billionaire golfer over claims that he cheated on her daughter with a string of mistresses.
Paramedics arrived at the scandal-hit golfer's £1.7million Florida mansion after receiving a 911 call at 2.35am. They treated Barbro Holmberg at the scene before taking her to the Health Central Hospital, in Ocoee, on a stretcher.
She was discharged this evening in a 'good condition' and left the centre in a wheelchair to return to Woods' mansion.
It is believed Mrs Holmberg suffered an anxiety attack after confronting Woods' over the affair claims following a reported row between Woods and Nordegren early yesterday morning.
Earlier reports suggested she had been suffering from acute food poisoning.
Mrs Holmberg, a Swedish politician, was in the States to support her daughter Elin Nordegren through a slew of lurid allegations about Woods' sex life.
She had been staying at the couple's house in an exclusive gated community in Windermere, near Orlando.
The circumstances leading to her collapse are unknown but initial reports indicated the patient was seriously ill and on 'advanced life support.'
Witnesses reported seeing a woman matching Miss Nordegren's description driving behind the ambulance as it travelled to the hospital.
She was at the wheel of a Cadillac Escalade, with a registration similar to the one involved in the golfer's accident last month.
Speaking yesterday afternoon, hospital spokesman Dan Yates confirmed Mrs Holmberg's condition was not serious.
She is in a wing that helps protect her privacy,' he said, adding that some of her family had been to see her. He would not confirm the identity of her visitors.
Woods and his wife have been in hiding since a flood of claims about his alleged affairs began to emerge.
The tally of women linked to the superstar sportsman has now reached eight and includes a porn star..
A police dispatch log, giving a blow by blow account of Woods' crash, has emerged on celebrity website TMZ.com.
The calls begin at 2.32am on November 27 with the entry 'Blk Escalade vs. Tree... driver on ground unconscious.'
Entries then record Woods being taken to hospital and a phone call in which his agent Mark Steinberg requested a meeting with police to be postponed as the golfer was 'still too sore from the accident'.
There is also a copy of a subpoena for blood test results as the driver is 'suspected of driving under the influence.'
Explaining the reason for the request, Trooper Joshua Evans wrote: 'The driver lost control of his vehicle, crashed and was transported to hospital.'
'A witness stated that the driver had consumed alcohol earlier in the day and the same witness removed the driver from the vehicle after the collision.'
'Also, the same witness stated that the driver was prescribed medication (Ambien and Vicatin).
'Impairment of the driver is also suspected due to the careless driving that resulted in the traffic crash.'
The witness is understood to be Woods' wife, who handed over two bottles of Vicatin, a painkiller, and sleeping pill Ambien, after the accident.
This led to Woods being categorised as an overdose patient, according to TMZ.
The golfer was said to have been struggling to breathe with doctors resorting to using a tube to help get air to his lungs.
Trooper Evan's request for a blood test was denied because of insufficient evidence, prompting questions about whether Woods received special treatment.
Police have said that alcohol was not a factor and merely issued a £100 ticket for careless driving.
It was claimed last night that Nordegren, the mother of Woods' two young children, had moved out of the property to a nearby house.
However neighbour Jarius Adams denied the reports, insisting: 'She is still here'.
She and her twin sister Josefine are said to have bought a new home in her native Sweden for $2million amid speculation she might move back there.
According to Swedish newspapers she bought Faglaro Mansion, which sits on an island close to Stockholm, with her sister rather than with her husband.
Woods, 33, is still believed to be living in his family home and it is claimed he wanted to keep her departure quiet in the hope he can persuade her to return.
It is not known where the couple's two children are staying.
The latest twists came after two more women were added to the list of the golfer's alleged mistresses.
One of the two further women who came forward yesterday is a porn star named Holly Sampson whose CV includes films such as Lingerie Or Bust and Diary Of A Horny Housewife.
The second is an unnamed cocktail waitress who says she had a two-year affair with the billionaire golfer and claims he told her his marriage was a sham and 'just for publicity'.
They bring the total number of 'Tiger Babes' to eight, although lawyers are believed to be lining up yet further women eager to cash in on the scandal.
Miss Sampson, 36, yesterday refused to confirm or deny any relationship with Woods after being named in the New York Daily News.
Michael O'Quinn, who is representing an unnamed 26-year-old, believed to be woman number eight, said that she met Woods in 2004 while working as a cocktail waitress for VIPs at the Roxy Nightclub near his home in Orlando.
Woods was already engaged at the time.
'Her relationship was not a one-night stand,' Mr O'Quinn told the New York Post. 'It was long-term, and it was witnessed by many people in this community. She has detailed knowledge of his life, his habits.'
The waitress is said to have had qualms about the affair after Woods married Swedish au pair Miss Nordegren in 2004, according to the TMZ website.
Woods and his wife went on to have two children - daughter Sam, aged two, and ten-month-old son Charlie.
The well-connected site also claimed last night that Woods even repeatedly tried to contact the first of his alleged mistresses, club promoter Rachel Uchitel, 34, after he crashed his car, telling her he wanted to figure out a way to see her.
The 34-year-old club promoter allegedly claimed Woods pursued her for four months before they got involved and was very 'possessive' and 'jealous'.
Rumours also persist linking Woods with a well-known female British TV presenter, whom he is claimed to have met on his frequent visits to the UK.
The first cracks in Woods' financial empire have also begun to show.
Last night one of his biggest sponsors confirmed it was dropping a drink that he promoted.
Gatorade said it was discontinuing its Tiger Focus soft drink.
The company insisted the decision had nothing to do with the golfer's extra-marital problems.
In a statement, the U.S. firm said: 'We decided several months ago to discontinue Gatorade Tiger Focus along with some other products to make room for our planned series of innovative products in 2010.'
