If you thought the Tiger Woods sex story had been more or less put to bed, the National Enquirer has shaken it awake again.
The US magazine says the golfing star and serial adulterer has confessed to his wife Elin Nordegren that he slept with as many as 120 women during their five-year marriage.
And the final straw for Nordegren was a one-night stand with the 21-year-old daughter of a neighbour in Florida.
According to the magazine, when Woods offered himself up for rehabilitation treatment for sex addiction, the Gentle Path centre in Mississippi got him to list all the women he had sex with - but he left off the young neighbour.
When Nordegren found out, the magazine says, she phoned him as he was having dinner with friends after his Masters comeback.
"She was screaming so loudly that everyone at the table could hear what she was saying," a source told the magazine.
She was quoted as saying: "This is the worst betrayal ever. I can't believe you had sex with that girl in our own neighbourhood. That's it - I'm divorcing you!"'
NE's source reportedly said "she was screaming so loudly that everyone at the table could hear what she was saying."
"Tiger tried to deny it," the source said. "But Elin yelled at him, 'You're lying! You're always a liar! You're a piece of (expletive)."
At that point, Tiger told Nordegren, "We'll talk about it later" and hung up on his wife. When she called back, he hung up on her again - and stewed about it all through the rest of his meal.
The NE was the first to reveal Woods' extra-marital affairs last year and the latest revelations could explain why Nordegren is set to divorce golf's world number one.
Nordegren has yet to say anything publicly about her husband's fall from grace - or explain how Woods managed to seduce so many women without her knowing a thing.
Woods handed a four-page list of conquests to his wife while undergoing sex-addiction therapy at a Mississippi clinic, the Enquirer reported.
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker claims Nordegren has been in "round-the-clock" conversations with a battery of lawyers as the time for divorce quickly approaches.
The divorce settlement could approach US$500 million (NZ$691m).
Zwecker's source told the paper that Nordegren remains "mostly concerned about protecting her two kids' financial interests." and had been researching the issue and she was looking where she can live in both Sweden and the USA.
Woods was this morning (NZ time) playing in the first round of the Quail Hollow Championship, North Carolina - just his second tournament since the sex scandal revelations began emerging.
He put drives in the water off the 17th and 18th tees and finished with an opening 2-over 74, nine shots behind clubhouse leader Bo Van Pelt, another early starter in with a 65.
Things looked promising when Woods, off a rousing welcome from a chilly crowd, hit a near perfect tee shot on the 10th and birdied his opening hole.
Then he could barely keep anything straight.
A drive into the left rough on the 12th hole led to a bogey. He saved par from near a holly tree on the 15th.
Woods' water world began on the picturesque, challenging par 3, 17th hole. Woods' ball sailed into the water, his second try stuck to the green but he could not make a 30-footer and came away with a double bogey.
Woods' problems continued on the par-4 closing hole when his drive ended up in a creek along the left side. He came up short of the green after taking a penalty stroke, then chipped to 3 feet for a bogey.
Woods followed with another bogey on No. 1, falling to 4-over par through 10 holes.
That's when Woods picked up his game. He hit to about 15 feet on the par-3 second and made the birdie. He added another birdie on the par-5 fifth after reaching the green in two.
Woods kept the surge going on the eighth hole with a chip to about 5 feet for birdie.
However, Woods ended with a bogey on No. 9 after hitting over the green on his approach shot, coming up well short of the pin on his chip and missing a 20-footer for par.
