Tiger Woods reportedly offered Rachel Uchitel $1million to keep silent about their alleged affair
Tiger Woods is facing lurid claims that he took prescription drugs to boost his sex life with one of his alleged mistresses.
Rachel Uchitel, 34, told friends that she and Woods took the sleeping pill Ambien before having sex, according to a U.S. website.
‘You know you have crazier sex on Ambien – you get into that Ambien haze,’ she is quoted as saying. ‘We have crazy Ambien sex.’
Ambien is a brand name for a drug which, while used to treat chronic insomnia, is said to enhance sexual experience dramatically in the minutes after it is taken.

Miss Uchitel, a New York nightclub promoter, was not available last night to comment on the latest twist in the scandal which in the space of seven days has transformed 33-year-old Woods’s image from squeaky-clean sports hero to disgraced adulterer.
It has emerged that the golfer was snoring following his 2.25am car crash outside his Florida mansion when neighbours found him passed out by the vehicle.
His mother, Kultida, and mother-in-law, Barbro Holmberg, were also staying at the house when Woods and his Swedish wife, Elin Nordegren, allegedly had a heated bust-up over his infidelities.
They were reportedly arguing over incriminating racy text messages sent to Woods and Elin ended up smashing the windows of his car with one of his golf clubs.
The RadarOnline website claimed Miss Uchitel told several friends that she took Ambien with Woods.
Uchitel cancelled a press conference where she intended to give details of her 'relationship' with the golfer
She abruptly cancelled a planned press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday after reportedly being contacted by Woods and his representatives who appealed to her not to add fuel to the developing scandal.
She was said to have been offered $1million to remain tight-lipped about their alleged affair.
It was not the first time Woods’s name has come up in connection with Ambien.
The celebrity magazine U.S. Weekly claimed he sent an email to Miss Uchitel in which he supposedly said he dreamed he came home to find her having sex with Hollywood actor David Boreanaz and baseball star Derek Jeter, two celebrities previously linked to the ‘party girl’ brunette.
‘I had a dream we were married and I was leading the tournament,’ Woods allegedly wrote.
‘I came home, excited to see you, and there you were in the bedroom getting ****** by Derek and David. Some part of me thinks you would like that. But now I can’t get back to sleep. My body is tired. Need an Ambien.’
Although she has publicly denied an affair, a source told the New York Post that Miss Uchitel claimed to have met Woods during a party held by Jeter, who plays for the New York Yankees, at his apartment.
‘This girl has a real history of sleeping with rich, powerful and famous people,’ a friend told the Post. ‘Rachel has been talking about sleeping with Tiger to a lot of people. She is going to end up going on Oprah, telling her story – and doing Playboy.’
Cocktail waitress-Jaimee Grubbs, 24, who claims she had a 31-month fling with Woods, worked until recently at a medical marijuana ‘pharmacy’ in Los Angeles.
Marijuana is legal for medical use in California although there has been no suggestion that Woods ever used the drug.
After selling the story about her relationship with him to U.S. Weekly for a reported 90,000, Miss Grubbs has hired a PR firm to hawk her tale around the American TV networks.
The extraordinary unravelling of the three-times Open champion’s closely-guarded private life continued last night with a claim that Woods once promised Miss Grubbs that he would leave his wife for her.
Sport’s first billionaire is said to be discussing a ‘re-nup’ of their pre-nuptial agreement as part of his attempts to save his five-year marriage to former model Elin, the mother of their two young children.
Woods, who remained in his waterfront home for a seventh successive day yesterday, is said to have offered his 29-year-old wife sports-contract-style incentives to stand by her man.
According to one report, she was offered about 3million to stay married, with a 50million ‘bonus’ if she stays with him for another seven years.
Barbro Holmberg
Woods’ mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg was also present during the row
Apart from posting an apology for his ‘transgressions’ on his website, Woods has not responded to any of the allegations.
The third woman named as an alleged mistress is 27-year-old Las Vegas club executive Kalika Moquin. According to a magazine, she once bragged that Woods was great in bed.
She claims he also said he would leave wife Elin to be with her after professing his love for her.
They shared nights of passion in the 3,600 a night Bellagio Hotel on the Vegas strip.
A source said: ‘They’d have sex three or four times a night. He said Elin was a cold fish and they rarely had sex.’
Moquin has reportedly turned down a 150,000 offer to tell her story, and has told Woods that she will not expose details of their affair.
Only last month, Woods backed compulsory drug testing in golf after fellow-American Doug Barron became the first to violate the ban on use of performance-enhancing substances introduced in 2008.
‘It’s unfortunate, but that is one of the reasons why we have the policy to make sure no one does anything that’s improper for the game of golf,’ he said.
‘And I think that it’s great that we have the policy in place. The whole idea is to keep our sport clean.’
Barron was suspended for a year after testing positive for taking beta blockers for a heart condition and testosterone to correct an imbalance in his body. Both medications were prescribed by a doctor.
Golf’s list of banned substances includes anabolic steroids, hormones, stimulants, narcotics, beta blockers and masking agents.
