HATTIESBURG (Mississippi): Tiger Woods has left the building. After a lull, the golfer is back in the news again

Gossip website RadarOnline.com claimed Woods has checked out of a sex addiction rehabilitation clinic after six weeks to spend time at home with his family.

His wife Elin Nordegren arrived here yesterday to pick Woods up as he left the Pine Grove Behavioural Health and Addiction Services Centre, said the website.

The British newspaper also said Woods had only confessed to adultery with three women, instead of the more than 12 flings he allegedly had.

He had owned up to an affair with nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel, 34, cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs, 26, and one other mistress.

A source close to the pair claimed: "He wanted to make it believable, but knew the whole truth would make it impossible to save their marriage.

"She knows he is lying, but doesn't know if she can hear anymore."

More dirt

The scandal is far from over, however.

One of Woods' alleged mistresses told an Italian TV show that he paid to have sex with her.

Escort Loredana Jolie, 26, said he would fork out around £10,000-a-time for their sex sessions, shower her with gifts and jewels and fly her around the world.

The Playboy model - publishing a book about the fling - said: "My time is money and so sometimes he paid me.

Seedy details

"I have often met celebrities thanks to my job and some of them like him paid me to have sex. Tiger wanted privacy and he paid me for that.

"He usually texted me about our meeting places by phone. Sometimes, we even travelled together, but in seats far apart from each other to avoid arousing suspicion."
