Here's a neat little additional bang to the Tiger Woods explosion. Apparently, the dude loved going to strip clubs, but would pretend like he'd never been for the sake of others. Surprisingly, he just happened to have fifty $1 bills in his pocket, conveniently ready to be placed in g-strings. How about that.

In the presence of topless dancers, Tiger Woods played the shy little kitty cat -- but it was all just an act for the strip club regular, insiders tell the New York Post.

Prior to his explosive infidelity scandal (revelations began emerging in late November), Woods made a point of visiting NYC strip club Scores whenever he was in the Big Apple. Former Scores manager Tony Lombardi tells the Post that the married 33 year-old golfer always pretended he was a "virgin to strip clubs."

To cover up his extramarital pursuits, the convincingly "innocent" athlete relied upon an entourage who would broker introductions to attractive women at clubs. "He'd just point and say 'Who's that?' and they'd go over and sayd 'Tiger Woods wants to meet you.' And they would never leave together," club magnate Rocco Ancarola says in the paper.

Ancarola adds that it's common practice for club owners to cover up for the indiscretions of wealthy, famous patrons. "We in the business do that without thinking about it...You tend to protect the celebrities."

Um, then why are you talking now? That's not good business, is it? Still, that's not the end of Tiger's nonsense.

The article also claims that Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, made a deal with the National Enquirer -- killing a story about one Woods affair by promising the athlete on the cover of Men's Fitness, owned by the same publisher as the tabloid.

The New York Daily News adds that friends in Woods' inner sanctum were aware of his cheating but failed to speak up.

"A lot of us who love him saw this coming," one longtime friend is quoted as saying. "We said, 'You've got to be careful. It's really getting too raggedy.' In his own mind, he may not have thought he was doing anything wrong."

The pal adds that the athlete "was under a lot of pressure. He thought he was just letting off steam. He thought of it as a perk."

Of course it's a perk! Listen, anyone who thinks it's not a perk to be able to score chicks because you're rich and famous is an idiot. That's the only reason guys become rich and famous - women! It's the only reason guys do anything! It's the reason we fight in bars, it's the reason we pretend to care about stupid crap and, yes, it's the reason we cheat on our wives. Women, women, women. I'm not even sure anymore that Tiger loves playing golf, I think it was just for the women... and now he's the saddest man in the world.
