London, Dec 20 : Besides the golf course, Tiger Woods was a champ at partying and had enthusiasm for high-stakes gambling, it has emerged.

In fact, according to Professor Steven Ortiz, an Oregon sports psychologist, the passion for gambling and partying exposed golfer to ‘culture of adultery’.

Sources have revealed that the golfer regularly visited the Mansion, a club for high rollers at the MGM Grand casino, where he was given a 1-million-dollar betting limit and routinely played blackjack at 25,000 dollars a hand, reports The Times.

“I gambled with him one night for hours,” said Jamie Jungers, one of at least 14 women who claim to have had a sexual relationship with Woods.

“Tiger’s favourite clubs were the Mansion, the Bank and Tryst, all known for their discretion with high-end clients,” said one Vegas nightclub source. “His table always had to be filled with hot party girls and he loves being catered to.”

Jungers added that the 33-year-old was often seen in Vegas with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, former basketball stars who became his closest friends.

“Tiger and Charles would talk shit to each other and gamble,” Jungers said. “He was drinking, smoking cigars; he was partying.” (ANI)
