Tiger fights 'naked' photos



Tiger Woods went to court Thursday to block British papers from publishing photographs of his "naked parts" or sexcapades.


His London lawyers said the order issued by the High Court was in no way an admission that X-rated snaps even exist.

"Our client is not aware of any images," the lawyers said in a letter obtained by the gossip Web site TMZ.

"And in any event he would not have consented to any such photographs being taken."

It's unclear if Tiger's camp is trying to obtain a similar order for Playgirl, which said this week it has pictures that purportedly show the golfer in the buff.

Two weeks after he crashed his car, reportedly after a fight with his wife about his adultery, Woods' reputation is taking a daily beating.

Though "devastated" by the breadth of Tiger's cheating, his wife, Elin Nordegren, isn't packing her bags and fleeing with their two kids, People magazine reported.

"She's a fighter, and I am sure she's fighting like hell right now, to keep her family intact, but also to make sure Tiger will always be haunted by this," a source said.

Woods, who has been linked to more than a half-dozen other women, "has told Elin everything," the source said.

"Nothing that's coming out now is a surprise," the source said. "She knows what he has done, and they've had some long talks about it. They are getting everything out in the open."

Nordegren, 29, is a "child of divorce" whose parents split when she was 6 and doesn't want to put her children through that ordeal, sources told People.

In other developments:

A California madam claimed Woods was a client of her high-priced escort service who shelled out more than $100,000 over the years for Vegas hookups. "He would request the college-cutie, girls-next-door look," Michelle Braun told E!

Braun also told TMZ that Tiger-linked hotties Jamie Jungers and Holly Sampson worked for her service.

Jungers, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress who allegedly had an 18-month fling with Woods, is slated to dish about him today on NBC's "Today" show.

Meanwhile, porn star Sampson released a statement through her lawyer insisting she and Woods were "intimate" before he married Nordegren, a Swedish model and nanny.

A new mistress -- one not previously identified -- has hired celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, Radaronline reported.

Allred already represents Rachel Uchitel, 34, the New York party girl who was first linked to Woods and has denied sleeping with him.

It was texts between Uchitel and Woods that supposedly sparked the Thanksgiving night fight between the golfer and his wife -- a row that culminated with him crashing his SUV into a tree and fire hydrant in Windermere, Fla.

Golf great Jack Nicklaus predicted the scandal would die down soon. "Our public is pretty forgiving at times," he said, calling Woods a "great athlete."
