Fourth woman in Tiger Woods sex scandal

A fourth woman is alleged to have had an affair with Tiger Woods as the sex scandal surrounding the US golfer continues to muddy his squeaky clean image.

According to a report in the Sunday Mirror newspaper, Las Vegas model Jamie Jungers began having sex with Woods in 2005, less than a year after he married and eight months after she got engaged.

The affair carried on for more than two years and allegedly included liaisons at Woods' family home.

Ms Junger is the latest in a string of women to be linked to Mr Woods, joining nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs and marketing manager Kalika Moquin.

Ms Junger's former fiance Derek Schmidt, 28, told the newspaper he was a big fan of Woods at the time the affair began.

Mr Schmidt, who broke up with Ms Junger in 2007, said his former girlfriend met Mr Woods while doing promotional work at a Las Vegas nightclub in early 2005.

He said that over the following months, Ms Junger made regular trips to California, where she was allegedly hooking up with Mr Woods at the family mansion he owned at the time.
