MANHATTAN — Tiger Woods allegedly paid $60,000 for high-priced prostitutes, including $15,000 for one in Manhattan, several news outlets reported.
Hollywood madam Michelle Braun claims Woods used her escort service to set up dates with women from 2006 to 2007, including a Manhattan woman known as Loredana, according to the Daily News.
"She's a stunning girl," Braun told the News. "He went out with her four or five times. She took part in group sex. They met up in 2006 or early 2007. I'd say he paid $15,000 for her."
Loredana told the New York Post that Woods took her to East Village nightspot Butter, and on shopping trips where "he purchased gifts for me -- diamonds and stuff like that."
Woods "came off being a really nice person with me. He had manners," Loredana told the Post. "I had nothing bad to say about him."
Braun, whose escort service has been shut down by authorities, said Woods would drop $30,000 to $40,000 on weekend liaisons.
"He was rarely with just one girl. He usually wanted more. He liked three-ways," Braun told the News.
Woods has been married to his wife Elin Nordegren, a former nanny and model, since 2004. The couple has two children together.
In a statement posted to his web site, Woods admitted mistakes but failed to confirm any of the affairs, instead apologizing letting his family down.
"I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves," Woods wrote. "For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."
