It is the second such claim to be made after the publication of a similar story in the New York Post earlier this month.

The National Inquirer, this is me talking to you now,

They did eventually report that cheating scandal.

It was their front page story.

But because the mainstream media disregards tabloid scoops and Tiger makes way too many people way too much money, nobody picked it up.

You know who saw it?

His wife at the time.

She saw it.

Let's go to Thanksgiving 2009.

Thanksgiving, if you are an American, this Thanksgiving weekend lives in infamy.

As reported in the number one best-selling New York Times best-selling, excuse me, I got ahead of myself.

In the number one New York Times best-selling biography, Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict and Armin Kittian, if I'm saying your name right, I hope, I'm quoting from their book.

It fell to Tiger to convince his wife.

He told her the tabloid story was a lie, that there was no affair between him and Rachel Yucatel.

This is my aside.

Looping back to the Heather Graham piece we just did in the middle of the show, Rachel Yucatel first became famous on the front page of the New York Post, tearfully holding a picture of her fiance who was lost in the towers on September 11th and he died.

So Rachel, you could tell, comes back into our lives as a Tiger Woods mistress.

And I think she thought she was the only one.

But on Monday, November 23rd, in advance of publication, the You Could Tell expose began circulating on the Internet.

It contained a quote attributed to her.
