Tiger Woods is bracing for new trouble amid US media reports that at least two women are set to go public with claims that they had affairs with the world’s highest-earning sportsman.

A report on Hollywood website RadarOnline.com said several women have come forward claiming to have had sex with the golf billionaire, The Times reports.

Jaimee Grubbs, a 24-year-old Las Vegas cocktail waitress, has claimed she has details and evidence of a 31-month affair with married father of two, The Times online reports.

Grubbs has reportedly told this week's edition of Us Weekly magazine that she began an affair with Woods in April 2007 and ''she has more than 300 text messages - some of them described as 'racy' - to prove it''.

RadarOnline.com reported one of the text messages allegedly sent by Woods read: "I will wear you out ... when was the last time you got (bleeped)?"

Another text message allegedly read: "Send me something very naughty ... Go to the bathroom and take (a picture)''.

According to the website, Ms Grubbs worked as a cocktail waitress in San Diego. She travelled to Las Vegas in 2007 where she met Woods at the Light nightclub.

RadarOnline.com also reports another woman claims to have voice messages from Woods and that she "is in talks with a national outlet to reveal her sexual affair with the golfing great".

"Several national media outlets are in contact with other women who say the have had sexual contact with Tiger while he was married," Radar reports.

Meanwhile, Florida police have today fined Woods US$164 (NZ$225) for careless driving after a crash that injured the billionaire golf superstar and set off reports of a violent argument with his wife over an alleged fling with a nightclub hostess.

She said there would be no further investigation into the incident and "there was no further evidence that any other charges would be laid''.

Major Williams said Florida police had no "blood evidence" to support claims Woods might have been drunk or under the influence of prescription medication.

Florida Highway Patrol "is not pursuing criminal charges in this matter nor is there any testimony or other evidence to support any additional charges of any kind other than the charge of careless driving," Sergeant Kim Montes said.

She said there would be no further investigation into the incident and "there was no further evidence that any other charges would be laid''.

Florida police also said they had no "blood evidence" to support claims Woods might have been drunk or under the influence of prescription medication.

The hostess allegedly involved in the affair, Rachel Uchitel, dismissed the rumours, saying she had met Woods twice in her life and only in her professional capacity as director of VIP services at a New York night club.

"It's the most ridiculous story. It's like they are asking me to comment if there are aliens on Earth," Ms Uchitel told the New York Daily Post.

"Tiger and I are not friends," the 33-year-old said, adding that the fact she was in Melbourne at the same time as Woods was a mere coincidence.

"Like I could just walk up to the 35th floor and go to the Presidential Suite if Tiger Woods was staying there? Like they would hand a girl a key at the front desk and let her go to Tiger's room. I didn't see him at all in Australia. I was just there with friends."

Woods has called the rumours "unfounded and malicious".
