Jan 2, (THAINDIAN NEWS) It seems that Tiger Woods’ taste in woman was not limited to only American beauties, as the latest woman to have been romantically linked with the disgraced golfer is none other than Bollywood actress Lara Dutta. According to certain reports, the Bollywood actress was romantically involved with the World No.1 golfer way back in 2001, just after she won the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

Sources claim that the Bollywood diva was spotted on a number of occasion with the champion golfer, who was supposedly smitten by the Indian beauty. The 31 year old actress was seen with Tiger Woods in a number of restaurants and clubs all across United States during their affair, which supposedly went on only for a brief period of time. At the same time, rumors also claim that during her fling with the golfer, the Indian actress was also involved in a relationship with New York Yankees baseball player, Derek Jeter.

However, the defamed golfer has supposedly brushed away the claims that he ever dated the Bollywood diva and at the same time has refuted the allegations that he had attempted to steal the former Miss Universe from her baseball player boyfriend.

Interestingly, Lara Dutta is not the only Indian beauty to have been linked with the ace golfer. Reportedly, Tiger Woods had also shown interest in actress Priyanka Chopra, who had won the title of Miss World the same year as Lara Dutta.

Meanwhile, Lara Dutta, who is currently said to be romantically involved with Indian tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi, has not publicly reacted to the ongoing controversy.
