On Thanksgiving night 2009, while Tiger Woods was asleep, his now ex-wife Elin Nordegren took his phone and scrolled for his mistress' number after reading about her husband's affairs in the National Enquirer.

She clicked on it and found a text from her husband to a woman named Rachel Uchitel: “You are the only one I’ve ever loved.”

Nordegren’s screaming woke up Woods. He was woozy after taking an Ambien and Vicodin, but he grabbed his cellphone and ran to the bathroom, locking himself in and texting Uchitel.

“She knows,” he wrote. “I’m going to be packing.” He told her it looked like divorce.

When Woods came out of the bathroom, she tore his cell phone away and saw the word "divorce."

Woods then ran out of the house, Nordegren in hot pursuit behind him. “You’ve ruined our Thanksgiving!” Woods yelled, still running. “Are you happy now?”

Woods pulled out of the driveway at 30 mph in his 2009 Escalade, crushed some hedges, careened into a curb, then hit a fire hydrant before smashing into a tree. He wound up in the street, unconscious, bloody and snoring.

Woods reportedly confessed to sleeping with 120 women, and it was only when a 15th mistress was revealed that Nordgeren finally decided to pull the plug on the marriage. The 15th women was a daughter of the couple next door and first met Woods when she was only 14.
