Washington, Dec 18 (ANI): A lonely Tiger Woods has taken to hitting golf balls at night to deal with his extramarital affair scandal, it has been reported.

US Weekly magazine says Woods has been visiting a local golf course near his Florida home at night to “clear his head” after therapy sessions with his wife Elin Nordegren.

A resident in Woods’ Isleworth gated community in Windermere told that he has been spotted “coming by in the early evenings only for their counseling and therapy.”

A source said: “He goes after dark so he can’t be seen. For him, what’s more therapeutic than hitting golf balls, the thing he’s best at in the whole world?”

Meanwhile, according to reports, Nordegren has hired hot shot divorce lawyer Sorrell Troupe - who has previously represented Nicole Kidman, Britney Spears and Cary Grant - to negotiate the end of her five-year marriage.

Nordegren plans to ask for as much as half of Woods’ billion-dollar fortune in light of the dozen mistresses who have been revealed, the reports say. (ANI)
