Well, that didn’t take long.
Irish bookie Paddy Power, known overseas for their cheeky betting lines, is now taking wagers from its customers on the identity of Tiger Woods’ next girlfriend. Woods and champion skier Lindsey Vonn somewhat concurrently announced on Sunday that they’re no longer together after almost three years of dating.
For entertainment purposes only, let’s look at a few of the contenders.
As you might guess, Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, is getting 7-to-1 odds. For almost the entire duration of Woods’ relationship with Vonn, the tabloids have suggested the skier is jealous of Nordegren’s relationship with Woods as mother of his two children. There’s also been a suggested reunion in the works. Good luck with that.
How about Caroline Wozniacki at 40-to-1 odds? Wouldn’t that be the ultimate knife in Rory McIlroy’s back? That doesn’t seem all that likely considering the very thing that supposedly drove him away from Vonn — the different travel schedules — would be a factor with the former world No. 1 tennis player.
Britney Spears is a 50-to-1 shot. Woods has been known to enjoy himself in Vegas in the past, and Spears is “in residence” at Planet Hollywood, performing on a regular basis. Then again, as Woods has aged, he’s appreciated being a father, which means trying to spend as often as he can in Florida when he has custody of his children.
Perhaps we should bookend this exhaustive search for Woods’ next girlfriend with the woman originally cited by the National Enquirer in 2009 as their proof positive that the 14-time major winner was cheating on Nordegren: Rachel Uchitel. Uchitel, a former night club host who now owns a clothing store in New York, just turned 40 and is out of what she terms a verbally abusive relationship with former baseball player Bret Boone. TMZ says Uchitel would consider getting back together with a groveling Woods, but that doesn’t seem Woods’ style.
So let’s all put a few quid on Pippa Middleton at 100-to-1.
