Ever since reports of Tiger Woods' numerous affairs broke out, many have lambasted the golf ace for not staying true to his wife Elin or putting up a show of a squeaky-clean image for so many years.

There has been a huge wave of sympathy for Elin, a former Swedish model, with reports claiming that Woods has betrayed her with as many as 14 affairs over the years.

But finally someone has come out supporting Woods. And when that support comes from the glamorous Angelina Jolie, not only will the golfer feel comforted, but the others will also sit up and take notice.

Talk badly
"I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards," the Hollywood starlet told German magazine Das Neue.

"Neither Brad (Pitt, Jolie's partner) nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other," the magazine quoted the actress as saying. Though Jolie's words will certainly help Woods, what will not help the golfer are recent reports suggesting that he has resumed his affair with Rachel Uchitel, who is supposedly the first woman Woods had an affair with.

The news comes at a time when wife Elin is reportedly talking to Hollywood lawyers about divorce procedures and several of his major sponsors have stopped advertisements featuring Woods.
