The greatest golfer in history was the subject of a hugely damaging scandal in 2009, when his former wife Elin Nordegren chased him out of the family home on Thanksgiving with a golf club. After Woods had fled the house with Elin in hot pursuit, he crashed his car into a fire hydrant. Knocked out, he was taken to hospital for treatment, and released. In the weeks that followed, as the world speculated on the incident. Facts slowly but surely trickled through; Elin had thought Woods had been having an affair with one, perhaps two women, but as the truth slowly came to light, Woods found himself in the centre of a media storm that showed no signs of abating. Two weeks after the accident, the number of his known mistresses was up to 14. He lost major endorsements with Nike, Gatorade, Gillette and Accenture and announced he was taking a leave from golf. By the end of the month, he was in rehab for sex addiction. He has since returned to golf although his career has never fully recovered.
