Journalist: Tiger Woods’ Reputation With Ladies Well Known?; Rumors Swirl Over Prescription Use

As of Monday, the number of women to have been outed or outed themselves as alleged mistresses of golf star Tiger Woods is approaching double digits, but according to Gerald Posner, Chief Investigative Reporter for The Daily Beast, inside the golf course ropes, Tiger’s reputation was well known.
