$1m ‘payoff’ halts Tiger ‘lover’ kiss and tell

WHAT promised to be a kiss and tell press conference by the first woman named in the Tiger Woods mistress scandal was abruptly cancelled yesterday amid reports the golfer had made it worth her while to keep silent.

The US tabloids reported the Woods’s camp had been working hard to keep nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel from talking. One media source claimed a $1million (€665,000) payoff was discussed.

Uchitel was first named by the National Enquirer as his mistress, which she later denied in an interview with The New York Post.
