Tiger Woods Text Messages, Phone Calls Lead to Confession

Tiger Woods has been bashed over and over for not commenting on his accident, his alleged affairs, and more. As such, things like Tiger Woods' text messages and phone calls were allowed to get out. US Weekly provided the first actual evidence of Woods' possible affairs, as waitress Jamiee Grubbs gave them text messages between the two, and Woods' own voice on a suspicious call. That may have been the final straw, as the text messages and affair stories finally led to an admission of guilt from Woods today - to a point.

This morning, Woods released his second statement since this week of scandals started. The first one answered very little, leading to more sleazy details coming out. The worst ones of all came from his second alleged mistress, Jamiee Grubbs, as she released actual evidence to US Weekly.

Tiger Woods' text messages to Grubbs numbered in the hundreds, according to US Weekly. They also released an audio clip of Woods calling Grubbs, in which he warned her that wife Elin Nordegren was getting suspicious. What's more, the tabloid claimed that he left this message three days before the car accident - and a day or two before the Rachel Uchitel affair rumors broke out.

In a matter of days, Woods got turned into a serial cheat. So before the text messages could be released to make things worse, he finally released another statement this morning. In it, he actually admitted to having affairs - but gave no more specific details than that.

All he said about them is that he "regrets these transactions with all of my heart." However, he didn't mention Uchitel, Grubbs, or any other of the alleged mistresses by name. Though he admitted to the affairs themselves, the tabloids will likely still keep coming with more sleazy details. The text messages will just keep adding on to it, especially one leaked message where Woods supposedly asked Grubbs for "something naughty."

Even if they do, Woods is likely done commenting about them, since countless teeth had to be pulled for him to admit it in the first place. Since he actually confessed, the stories can finally start to fade away - or at least fade faster than they would have had he stayed quiet.

Though TMZ, the National Enquirer and Rachel Uchitel had gotten this scandal to the front pages, it took Jamiee Grubbs and her various messages to finish the job. They came out of nowhere to force Woods to talk - but now that he has, this scandal can finally get a little closer to the end.
