Rachel Uchitel Denies Claims

Tiger Woods has some 'splaining to do, and it's not going to be pretty! The talented golfer is dealing with a heap of accusations that he's been seeing Rachel Uchitel, a "party girl," behind his wife's back. Was Rachel Uchitel Tiger Woods' mistress?

While Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel have both denied rumors about their "relationship," the tabs have other ideas about how these two could have been linked by the National Enquirer. If they truly had no contact, then did these claims come out of thin air? Since Tiger Woods is a married, respected professional whose wife just had a baby, we're almost hoping that they did.

Tiger Woods crashed his car near his Florida home early Friday morning, and rumor has it that Woods' scratches on his face were due to a blow-out fight he had had with his wife.
