Our favourite quotes from the ‘friend’ who claims Tiger Woods was cheating on Lindsey Vonn

With friends like these...

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn's recent split came after the former world No.1 golfer had been caught cheating on the skier, it has been revealed. The pair's three-year courtship came to an end earlier this month, with both saying it was a mutual decision brought about by their hectic schedules. But a 'close friend' of Tiger has revealed to the Daily Mail that Woods had in fact reverted to his old ways with 'a faceless, nameless woman' after February's Farmers Insurance Open, bringing about a repeat of his break-up with ex-wife Elin in 2009. And boy did the friend give some absolute pearlers as he or she attempted to defend Woods' while at the same time selling him out... Getting straight to the point

'He had a relapse in the sex department'

It's just a way for him to wind down

'Most men would drink over such losses.Tiger has sex over it. Usually with local hookers whom he pays exorbitant amounts to, probably so they will want repeat business and won't tell.'

It's not like he's married to her...

'Tiger isn't married. He doesn't really drink or do drugs. So what else does he have when he can't afford to lose again? He allowed to find some relief.'

...so is it really cheating?

'Knowing Tiger, he doesn't even see it as cheating because there's no romance or feeling there. It's just a stress reliever, like a high-ball or two after a bad day.'

Ok, so it is cheating, but she meant nothing!

'Yes, Tiger cheated again. But it wasn't with anyone special. He really wanted Lindsey to be the one. But he blew it again. He can't help himself. He's got an addiction. He relapsed'

He's trying to be a good guy here...

'When Tiger realized he was seen, he became concerned and eventually he decided to confess to Lindsey. Something he didn't do with Elin. He came clean and I give him credit for that.

What did she expect, that she could change him?

'Why would she think her Tiger would change its stripes? She knew what she was in for. She reads the papers. We all read about the blonde table full of women in New York.'

Poor Lindsey.
