Until today, I had my doubts about the veracity of adult film performer Josyln James’ claim that she had sexual relationship with Tiger Woods while the golfer was married. But based on texts she released Thursday, I’m now inclined to believe her.
While the obvious attention-getter is the graphic sexual nature of some of the texts, there’s also logistic and personal information from Woods that indicates that he indeed may have had a prolonged affair with adult film performer.
One of those details is this alleged text from Woods cited on a website James just launched:
Tiger:Sent: 03:15 AM 09/07/2009:
You are going to be headed to the hyatt lodge. 2815 jorie blvd oak brook, il 60523. Phone 630 990 5800
The text is dated Sept. 7, 2009. That week Woods was in Chicago to play the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship Pro-Am. Oak Brook is a suburb of Chicago and the Hyatt Lodge was indeed the official host hotel for tournament players.
In 2007, Wisconsin Golfer magazine reported of a contest winner who was to play with Woods in the same Pro-Am:
So on Tuesday, Sept. 4, Zimmerman and his wife Susie took a limo to Oakbrook, Ill., where they stayed at the Hyatt Lodge on the McDonald’s campus, host to BMW officials and PGA Tour professionals playing in the FedExCup playoff event. But it wasn’t until that evening’s pairings party that Zimmerman was fully convinced he’d get to play golf with Woods.
The alleged texts from Woods to James in Chicago also give us a glimpse into how Woods allegedly pulled off his sexual rendezvous with James without being detected:
Tiger:Sent: 07:38 PM 09/07/2009:
Head to the elevators and go to 334. Thats your room. The door will be open with the dead bolt. I have to get back here to wait for the food. Im in room 358.Tiger:Sent: 07:42 PM 09/07/2009:
Let me know when you are in the room. Food just got hereTiger:Sent: 07:47 PM 09/07/2009:
Sweet. Dont come down here yet. Lots of people in the hall. I will let you know when it clearsTiger:Sent: 08:16 PM 09/07/2009:
Are you close to being readyTiger:Sent; 08:32 PM 09/07/2009:
Come on down. Its quiet here in the hall now Tiger:Sent: 08:35 PM 09/07/2009:
There is a room service cart in my hall. Be carefulTiger:Sent: 08:35 PM 09/07/2009:
Room358
We’ve all wondered how Woods pulled off his affairs without his PGA Tour peers knowing. Perhaps now we know his methodology.
Another series of alleged texts from Woods to James while the two were apparently in Las Vegas last October gives credibility to James’ claims about the golfer’s infidelity.
Tiger:Sent: 10:40 AM 10/04/2009:
Guys from dubai. Investors. So my agent being suggested that we go back to my room at the mansion for lunch. He doesnt know about us, obviouslyTiger:Sent: 11:31 AM 10/04/2009:
This has been a total sh– trip. Im sorry i f—ed up last night. And this shit. We will get it right next time so we can spend more time together.Tiger:Sent: 12:06 PM 10/04/2009:
Oh my god. If they were with me. You would have ruined everythingTiger:Sent: 12:07 PM 10/04/2009:
I told you. Oh my god. I cant believe what just happenedTiger:Sent: 12:08 PM 10/04/2009:
Don’t F—ing talk to me. You almost just ruined my whole life. If my agent and these guys would have seen you there, F—
The evening of Oct. 3, the LAS VEGAS SUN reported Woods was at the Tao nightclub in Las Vegas. From other independent accounts of alleged Woods mistresses, we know that the golfer often stayed in the “Mansion” area of the MGM Grand hotel complex when visiting Vegas.
Then there’s this photo that was posted on TMZ.com on Dec. 2:
Excerpt from the TMZ post:
TMZ obtained these photos of Tiger and the mystery lady taken October 4, 2009 at Tao nightclub in Vegas. The photos were taken around 1:30 AM.
It isn’t clear if the woman in the photo is actually James, but there’s certainly a possibility that it’s her.
There’s other instances of logistical coincidences in the texts, but those are the most interesting - and damning.
Of course people will say that James could’ve made all the texts up, but based on the intimate logistical detail of the communications - some of which could actually be verified - I think there’s a pretty good chance there’s some truth to them.
The apparent legitimacy of those logistics also goes a long way to confirm the credibility of the other texts, which contain some seriously graphic sexual language from Woods. Language that Elin Woods I would guess would find beyond distressing.
Also interesting to note that Woods agent Mark Steinberg is referenced in the texts, with the golfer allegedly reporting that the agent didn’t know about the alleged affair between James and Woods.
What’s most interesting to me about James is her relationship to Allred, who has also represented alleged Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel. Like James, Uchitel also called a press conference with Allred, but during that presser the attorney did all the talking, denying that Uchitel had an affair with Woods.
So why did Uchitel deny the affair while James sold Woods out?
Uchitel was the first person to be outed as a possible mistress, when Woods still had his endorsement empire intact. At that time, Woods probably still thought that if he damage-controlled the situation, perhaps he could keep his business arrangements intact.
In other words, Woods would’ve been much more likely to try to buy Uchitel’s silence at that point.
By the time James released these alleged texts from Woods, the golfer had already lost most of his endorsements, seemingly settled his personal life (for now) and announced his golf comeback. So it stands to reason that he’d be much less likely to try to prevent James from going public about their alleged communication.
That said, with some of the language alleged in those texts from Woods, I think there may be more damage to his biz partnerships in the offing.
From the looks of the slick website launched by James to display the alleged Woods text messages to her, it appears that she has had every intention of attempting to cash in on her alleged relationship with Woods. Perhaps once she figured out that she wasn’t going to be paid for her silence, she decided to go public with details about her alleged trysts in attempt to benefit somehow from the subsequent publicity.
As stated earlier, I didn’t believe James’ claims at the beginning, but now I think there’s a good chance she’s been mostly truthful in her public proclamations. There’s still a lot of hearsay floating around about other alleged mistresses of Woods. With this new, seemingly credible information coming from a source like an adult film performer, I’m more and more inclined to believe just about everything I hear, read and see from all of the alleged mistresses.
There may still be a bigger bombshell about Woods out there yet. And after seeing how he has handled this whole sordid ordeal, that wouldn’t bother me one bit.

The reason Uchitel denied the affair is that it would be bad for her business, as a “promoter.” This woman does not have concerns other than publicity.
11:58 am on March 18th, 2010
Walter Berry,
She’s no longer a promoter. Has been out of that business for some time now.
2:26 pm on March 18th, 2010
get off it brooks; nobody cares. off course he did it and her but nobody cares as she is finding out. flashy web sites are easy but unless she has something that somebody wants, nobody cares. tiger will continue to takes lumps but as long as he is making other people money (and he is), nobody cares.
3:54 pm on March 18th, 2010
Brooks, who’s on ur avatar I’m on my cell n the pic is small…jw
4:02 pm on March 18th, 2010
If you ever post “nobody cares,” please shoot yourself. Really, nobody cares? Good job Brooks. Keep it coming.
I applaud your “poor strategy” of Tiger posts 24/7.
Boy, what a flop you are with this new FoxSports partnership. Maybe you should listen to anonymous morons telling you what to post.
4:57 am on March 19th, 2010
Dumb BITCH…why would you keep bringing this up? Why? What does she want, an apology, for what, why? Dumb fucking bitch!!!!!!
The more I see her the uglier she gets…all the cum that has dripped off your chin looks like it has left scares!!!
8:52 am on March 19th, 2010
She is a little late to the party. But Allred is setting up for a lawsuit to be filed against Woods that a “verbal”contract was in place between this gal and him and he violated it. In California, I think that holds water. She is out for money. This is all about money. The texts are old news now because Tiger went to rehab AFTER all of this. He has apologized AFTER all this and he is returning to golf AFTER all of this. Now he and Elin I don’t believe will survive which if that is the case then his ways with women will be NO news cause he won’t be married. He played some of the best golf ever while juggling all this “gals” so I am anxious to see how he golfs with his mind only on golf.

NO BODY CARES@!@@@@@ NO BODY!
10:16 am on March 19th, 2010
these chicks just don’t know when to quit.
11:10 am on March 19th, 2010
Both types deserve eachother: rich, arrogant, narcissistic, married super-athletes hooking up with indigent, greedy, vacuous, single, super-whores. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? LOYALTY AND FIDELITY? These days you can’t even get THAT from a bonified marriage…And remember Tiger is an infamous tightwad. These gals weren’t getting any money for their honey. If he’d just put out the green to them for putting out the sex to him, they would have been more apt to keep quiet. Tiger’s a total ‘tard. What an idiot! Number One rule in Infidelity 101: keep the mistress happy with mo’ money!! I mean please–none of these hos were hooking up with him for his looks. YUCK!
11:24 am on March 20th, 2010
Why the f*** should Woods pay anybody for the things he did personally? These women knew he was married and they enjoyed their fun nites with him. It so sad that most people seem to think he is the only one. Come on infidelity has been happening and will continue to happen as long as we live. He is a celebrity, keeps himself in shape and has millions. I know fat ass guys fucking hot chicks and they dont have shit but a good sense of humor. He cheated (Bad Boy you) but enough already. These hoes dont deserve nothing and Gloria Allred need to stop cashing in on scandals. Judges need to see her comming and turn her ass away…
6:43 pm on March 20th, 2010
It is not that didn’t believe she had sex w Tiger…it is that I don’t care. It boggles the mind how any one can put this much energy into who someone has consensual sex with. All I want from Tiger is golf. Look at some old footage of Tiger winning the 08 US Open or the 05 Masters and see if he let’s you down. Then watch a round of golf that is on now. I could not care less about his sex life. I just want him back playing.
3:28 pm on March 21st, 2010
Like the bible says about you CRITICS “Let thoes among you that is without sin cast the first stone.
10:31 pm on March 21st, 2010
WHO CARES!!!!!!! No one’s denying that this ho had an affair with tiger. IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CONTINUE TO EXTEND THESE B@#$*# 15 MINUTES.. F- THESE HO’S AND YOU TOO!
7:32 am on March 25th, 2010
Who cares, they are porn stars and have slept with more than 100 men. Do they have text messages and pictures of all of them??? I would be worried if I were any of the men these Ho’s slept with. Maybe the person who wrote this article should be worried. BUT OF COURSE HE LED A LILLY WHITE LIFE. MOVE ON THIS IS GETTING SICKENING.
8:36 am on March 27th, 2010
Rose, How many women has Tiger slept with. It seems to be all about how many men these girls have slept with and Tiger is getting a free pass !!!!!
9:36 am on March 29th, 2010
Who cares, I care. having his talent that was given to him, and the rich celebrity title he carries for himself, he should be much smarter than to get himself in such a jackpot. Having affairs with numerous hors is asking for trouble. He should remember, when you turn them upside down they all look like sisters. Play with only one, your infidelity would not have exploded when your affair was discovered, and publicized all over the world.
10:10 am on March 29th, 2010
Who CARES!!!! Let spend ALL this time and energy hanging our corrupt Politicians. And Inept Bureaucrats who have RUINED this country. WHO cares a RATS ASS about “Cheata” Woods. Seriously. The guy is a CHEAP ass punk. It is BEING CHEAP that put him in this situation. The guy is a total TOOL……I worked in the golf industry, and have actually dealt with him in the past. he is NOTHING more than an ARROGANT jackass………..
10:43 am on March 29th, 2010
I really believe what MARK, the last one above, said about
TIGER( the big ass hole ) WOODS. I really cannot see what anyone see’s in someone like HIM. I do know one thing, GOD is watching him and I really hate to see what will happen to him down the road. He is really a BIG JACKASS. Thank You
12:44 pm on March 29th, 2010
I really hate to burst some of your bubbles, but GOD is not watching and HE will not be punishing Tiger for this. The Lord has much more important things to deal with besides the mating habits of human beings. As for any of you who post nasty hateful things about Tiger or the women WHO CHOSE to sleep with him, try looking inward and find the reasons you need to lash out at people you have never met. I also don’t think selling Tiger a sleeve of golf balls constitutes “working with him”. Tigers clubs will do the talking soon enough, and all this gosip will die down. I do not condone or condemn what these consenting adults did, perhaps thats why I sleep soundly with no regrets about running my mouth on a daily basis.
1:04 pm on March 29th, 2010
I totally agree TIGER WOODS—-BIG JACKASS—If he was only half as important as he THINKS he is……
1:47 pm on March 29th, 2010
we should shoot all the super whores, sidekick whores, all whores who spread for little what ever. Without these whores, there wouldn’t be any infidelities.
They don’t get it:
one: Tiger don’t care. (any more)
two: damage is already done.
three: their petty checking account can’t discredit Tiger’s no more. I m personal getting tired of these whores cries. At first I felt sorry for them, but now I really feel SORRY for them… GET A LIFE!!!
These whores are doing nothing more than spiting on their face laying on their back.. With their legs spread of course…
3:18 pm on March 29th, 2010
This chic needs to put a sock in it already. It is old news and all she is doing is trying to get fame. Quit pouring salt in Elin’s wounds. I definitely would not brag about being a mistress……………………………GET A LIFE!
9:53 pm on March 29th, 2010
@SportsbyBrooks First she gets involved with a married man, then she decides to talk about their relationship and now, posts text messages supposedly sent by Tiger? Wow, yeah, she’s a class act!! NOT!!! How long does she think she’s going to ride the coat tails of this dirt? How low and dispicable do you have to get in order get your “career” going? Obviously, this “woman” hasn’t sunk low enough yet. Whatever she and Tiger did or did not do is between them. There’s no reason for her to share all of this with the world except for the fact that’s it’s the only way anyone will ever pay any attention to her. Really, do you want to be known as one of Tiger’s “alleged mistresses” through the rest of your life and your short lived career. I say short lived because once this blows over, you will have nothing…you will go back to being the “porn star” that you are and that you proved to be when you were supposedly with Tiger. You want to be taken seriously yet as soon as the light starts to fade on “your persona,” you resort to this. How proud your parents must be of your “achievements.” Give it a rest already…everyone knows what Tiger did, stop sliding your way on the filth to get to where you want to be. No self-respecting woman wanting to change her life for the better resorts to this. Oh, wait, my bad, I forgot, you don’t have any respect for yourself…that’s why you’re now known as ONE of Tiger’s alleged mistresses. Get over yourself already, you knew what you were getting into….YOU DID DESERVE THIS….it wasn’t going to end any other way…YOU played with fire and got burnt. Put some salve on it and move on……
7:39 am on March 30th, 2010
If I were any of these girls who had trysts or whatever with Tiger I would be so embarrassed you can believe I would not be sharing with the world and for sure I would not expect an apology. Sex is between two consenting adults which this obviously was. Joslyn James really needs to know that when you are i n her profession you don’t get an apology for getting X$###.
7:45 am on March 30th, 2010
Why Star? She is a porn pig….seeking publicity. All those women knew he was married. That is forbidden ffuit. But the ate from the fruit and now they want money. Have them go work for their money. Let the man live his life.
12:38 pm on March 31st, 2010
All these girls and women are trash. I dont care what they say about their affairs with Tiger. They knew TW was married and they were just happy to be with a millionaire as long as it lasted. They cant say they didnt know he was married because it was all over the newspaper, tv and other media. Yes TW was wrong but so are the women. I also blame those trashy women. There is no need to apologize to any of those women.End of Story. Lets move on
11:22 pm on March 31st, 2010
Wow… Tiger was getting a lot of girls. I saw some interesting stuff about him on www.pumpsmag.com
10:25 am on April 1st, 2010
So who will be the first to sue Allred for setting up the Blackmail. Maybe Lettermans lawyer? Will the Feds get involved?
12:51 pm on April 1st, 2010
The thing that told me that Joslyn James was telling the truth was that when her family members were coming forward to speak about her shaky character and problems with honesty, they said things like “Tiger Woods was so unlucky to get mixed up with someone like her.” In other words, nonwithstanding the fact that they dont like Joslyn, and the fact that they’d be looking for examples to back up their allegations of bad character, they all conceded that she was seeing Tiger Woods.
None of this is to say that she’s necessarily a wonderful person or honest one overall, but just to explain why I believe that she is telling the truth about having a prolonged affair with Tiger.
6:32 pm on April 1st, 2010
Who cares? Parents care, that’s who! This cheating, deceitful, swearing, poor sport of a person is a horrible influence for our children. Seeing that Nike is planning on getting back into bed with him again, is a big spit into the eyes of parents. We will get our sneakers and apparel from other companies.
6:35 pm on April 1st, 2010
He’s a grown and married man. I see a lot of people out here downplaying cheating and focusing on who he cheated with. I don’t condone cheating (even if “everyone is doing it”) because cheating is nothing more than being sneaking, telling hordes of lies and constantly deceiving someone. It’s not “glamorous” or even cool… it’s selfish and childish. So, for those of you who think it’s fine to cheat, you have to also think it’s fine to be lied to. Well then… next time someone lies to you, the next time someone does something really, really sneaky, the next time someone deceives you - don’t go getting angry or upset, according to you, that’s exactly what you expect from people, right? As for me, I don’t lie to people. I find it totally unnecessary to sneak around. I don’t waste my time creating drama to trick or deceive anyone. And… I expect the same courtesy from other people. Tiger is responsible for his own poor choices and the consequences that go along with lying, sneaking and deceiving his wife. He knew that the consequences of his actions would be huge but he didn’t expect to get caught - he thought he was a better liar than that.
7:01 am on April 3rd, 2010
if I bought Tiger for what he is worth and sold him for what he THINKS he’s worth…I’d make a fortune!
