Tiger Woods was at the peak of his career a decade ago when his wife discovered that he had cheated on her.
When his cheating scandal broke, Elin Nordegren chased him out of their house with his own golf club and used it to smash in the windows of his car.
It was a huge fall from grace for the golfer, who had earned a $1billion (£706million) fortune, including £78million in endorsements, had just won the Masters in Australia and that same year he was photographed meeting then-president Barack Obama at the White House.
On Tuesday Woods was in a horrific car crash that left him career-threatening injuries to his right leg and ankle.
The last decade has been a chaotic one for Woods, but once upon a time, his personal life seemed blissful with his beautiful wife, with whom he shares Sam, now 13, and Charlie, 12.
But in November 2009, a story broke that Woods had been having a affair with a New York City nightclub hostess called Rachel Uchitel.
She’d been photographed checking into the same hotel as Woods during the Australian Masters and had apparently told friends she was in love with him.
Before the story was about to hit newsstands, Woods had tried to shut it down and put his wife on the phone with Uchitel, according to The Daily Beast.
