When Tiger Woods entered the business of saying “sorry” in February, he confessed that he thought he was above “normal rules” and that temptation was too hard to resist.
Just last week, the golfer reportedly paid Elin Nordegren, his soon-to-be ex-wife, $700 million in their divorce settlement. Not a bad deal for a two-timing billionaire.
While the number of women Woods got his paws on makes him a serious cheetah, he is not the first unfaithful sports star. Au contraire, numerous professional athletes who are paid enormous sums of money and spend the majority of their time on the road have also engaged in philandering actions.
Before Tiger’s birdies started seeping out of the woodwork, there was already a pretty great archive of mistresses, and we don’t want them to be forgotten.
We’ve sifted through all of the “other” women and selected the top sixteen hottest from the messiest of affairs. Although we don’t bother questioning how or why the athletes cheated with these women, we do ask: how did we not think to do this earlier?
