The professional athlete’s incessant cheating was outed while he was seeing Rachel in 2009, leading to his divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren.
In the new HBO Max documentary entitled Tiger, the intricacies of Tiger Woods’ affair with Rachel Uchitel were revealed.
In November of 2009, the golf pro was seen checking into an Australian hotel with the night club hostess, and shortly after the scandal hit newspaper stands everywhere.
In the tell-all documentary detailing his tryst with Rachel, it came to light that after their relationship was discovered, Tiger had encouraged the club manager to get as much money as possible from his lawyers.
The film revealed: “After their affair was found out, the only time they spoke again was when Woods advised Uchitel to ‘get as much as you can’ in a nondisclosure agreement with his lawyers.”
Rachel, now 45, reportedly received a $10 million settlement to keep quiet about Tiger’s infidelities shortly after the scandal surfaced.
In 2010 when their intimacy first broke news, TMZ reported that Tiger was “so concerned with the depth and detail of information from Alleged Mistress #1 that they folded like a cheap suit, and offered the huge $10 million sum in return for an ironclad confidentiality agreement.”
Their source added that the sum of money at that time “speaks volumes about how much Rachel knows.”
The famed adulterer’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, reportedly negotiated the vast sum, along with a contract that ensured Tiger would be returned the funds if the nondisclosure was not maintained.
TMZ reported that if “Rachel violated the confidentiality clause … she would not only have to return the money she received but Tiger could sue her for damages as well.”
Rachel was later forced to repay Tiger for the large lump of cash, when the athlete’s lawyer, Jay Lavely, went after the hostess for appearing on Celebrity Rehab.
Tiger’s mistress allegedly took to the show for her “love addiction”, though the golfer’s name was never explicitly mentioned on the VH1 program.
The reality star was hasn’t had it easy since her misconduct over a decade ago, and in an interview with the Los Angeles Times she shared that she’s hasn’t been able to keep a job since.
She detailed her unemployment to the publication: “I would love some opportunity [to come from ‘Tiger’], because I haven’t been able to get a real, normal, sustainable job for the last 10 years.”
After leaving her job at Bloomberg News in 2001 following the death of her fiancée in the 9/11 attacks, Rachel admitted: “I would love to go work in a newsroom again. I would love to do something normal again. They’ve told me flat out that I’m too scandalous.”
“So I think I get misunderstood a little bit, and people don’t like me. I try my best, and sometimes I don’t do a good job.
