‘ON ANOTHER LEVEL’: Fresh setback in Greg Norman’s virus nightmare
‘I HAVE SEEN IT: Tiger Woods’ son shines with the famous father
Uchitel was the first of what appeared to be dozens of women who cheated on Woods during his six-year marriage to his wife, Elin Nordegren.
The scandal plunged Woods into serious trouble, with the once superstar golfer being abandoned by sponsors and consequently suffering on the course.
Woods has since made a constant effort to regain some of his public prestige, and even played a recent tournament with his son Charlie, which was attended by Nordegren and his current partner, Erica Herman.
His 2019 US Masters victory restored his status among the golf elite, but Uchitel’s series that opened the trailer for the upcoming series Tiger will be a strong reminder of his decisions at the time.
“Here he was in my bed … and he was my tiger,” Uchitel’s opening line appears in the trailer.
Uchitel has on the Juicy Create podcast earlier in September, where she discussed the saga and how Woods was able to revive his reputation.
‘Tiger can win awards or win his various tournaments. “He can get out of things and have accidents, and get up again, and people want to cheer for him,” she said.
‘But the women do not get so much, not only from him, but also with any scandal, and that is not really fair. And I just felt like I finally had to have a voice.
‘Because it was a very difficult period of ten years to just sit there and let people talk about me in the absence of truth and also just let people talk about me the way they know me because they do not .
‘It’s really a hurtful way of life. It was not easy, you know. So I decided to talk. ”
The two-part documentary, which airs on Foxtel, also touches on Woods’ relationship with his father, Earl.

He said he had received an infusion against the body, hoping he could just stay that day, adding that the symptoms of the ‘horrific virus’ had hit hard.
“I’m fit and strong and have a high tolerance for pain, but this virus has put me out of shit like nothing I’ve ever experienced,” Norman said.
“Muscle and joint pain on another level. Headache that feels like a chisel going through your head and every time you scratch small pieces, fever, muscles that just do not want to work like yesterday with my dog Apollo. due to fatigue. “
The two-time British Open winner said he lost his sense of taste and struggled to remember names and words while also feeling irritated.
