The mystery of Tiger Woods' 'threesome tape'

Defamed golfer Tiger Woods had a threesome with two women, and paid them to remain silent and not release a sex tape, according to reports.

The New York Daily News reports the philandering golf star was in bed with the pair in Phoenix, Arizona, three years ago when he noticed one of them taking pictures or videotaping him with the other girl.

"Tiger goes ballistic. He starts chasing the girl around. She runs out the door. He runs out after her. I don''t know how much clothing either of them is wearing, but Tiger finally catches up with her and grabs her cell phone or camera or whatever it was that had the evidence," a source said.

Faced with a potential lawsuit and scandal hitting the headlines, Tiger''s handlers apparently "diffused" the incident by paying off the women, in exchange for their silence, the newspaper said.
