00:00Tiger Woods is one of the all-time greats when it comes to sports.

00:24He was a child prodigy and the world got a glimpse of the greatness he would become.

00:29Woods turned pro at the age of 20 and he would be met with numerous big endorsements including

00:36a $40 million deal from Nike.

00:39His contract immediately made Tiger one of the highest paid professional golfers in the

00:43world.

00:45His talent on the green garnered many eyeballs to his sport.

00:50Besides his incredible ability to perform well with a club, Woods also had a very squeaky

00:55clean image.

00:57Tiger didn't make any headlines painting him in a bad light.

01:02Woods was a great public speaker, very respectable with the media and always calm under pressure.

01:10Woods was seen as a true shining example for kids everywhere.

01:13However, that image would soon change.

01:18In 2001, Tiger met a former swimsuit model turned Nanny Aline Nordegren.

01:24She wasn't interested in dating Tiger at first.

01:28Woods continued to pursue for months.

01:31Unfortunately, she agreed to go on a date with the golf superstar.

01:35The date went rather smoothly and more dates would come of it.

01:40After a few years of engaging in a serious relationship, the couple made it official in 2004.

01:47They spent $3 million on a wedding with the ceremony held in Barbados.

01:53It was a star-studded event with appearances from Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey and even

01:57Bill Gates.

01:59The following years, the newlyweds purchased a $39 million mansion.

02:04Two new additions would be added to the family.

02:08Regularly, the children were seen on the sidelines cheering on their dad.

02:13His family man image allowed him to gain several more prominent endorsement deals, edging him

02:19closer to billionaire status.

02:22To the public eye, things seemed picture-perfect.

02:26In late 2009, many rumors of infidelity started to emerge in the media.

02:31The National Enquirer was first to report, Tiger possibly having a secret affair with a

02:36nightclub hostess.

02:38The story really took off when Tiger crashed his car into a fire hydrant days after the rumors

02:44started.

02:45It brought extra attention to Woods and caused many people to speculate if the rumors were

02:50true after all.

02:52Golf sensation Tiger Woods says his car crash outside his Florida mansion is a private matter

02:58and he intends to keep it that way.

03:00Meanwhile, rumors involving his wife and possibly an affair with a New York woman continue to

03:05swirl at this hour.

03:07Let's switch live to ABC News correspondent Diana Alvear in Windermere, Florida, with the

03:12latest on this mysterious crash that has opened a floodgate of speculation.

03:16Diana, good afternoon.

03:18Within days more leaks would surface.

03:22More details of infidelity made its way to magazines, news articles and TV talk shows.

03:28The evidence looked undeniable.

03:31Tiger released a statement coming clean about the cheating allegations.

03:34Now, every one of you has good reason to be critical of me.

03:44I want to say to each of you simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish

03:56behavior I engaged in.

03:58I think I'm glad that he apologized.

04:01I think there's a lot of people that look at kids specifically who I'm talking about who

04:06looked at Tiger Woods as a role model.

04:08We know he's not perfect, but I'm glad that he apologized to them because they believed

04:14in what he was giving.

04:16Go work it out with your wife.

04:17But I say you cannot be mad when everybody wants to follow you around and wants to know

04:21what's going on because you brought this on yourself.

04:24You brought this on your family.

04:27Needless to say, his wife Aline was devastated by the news.

04:31She was blindsided and her world came crashing down.

04:36She felt deceived and betrayed by her husband.

04:39The story would get even bigger when more than a dozen women came forward.

04:44They also went into detail about their secret relationships with the married superstar.

04:50Many of the women kept paper trails, like text and voice messages left by Tiger.

04:56It was not looking good for Woods, his image was forever tarnished.

05:00While the married couple tried to work things out.

05:04It all became too much for his wife.

05:07The bad publicity was also too much for his sponsors and major brands.

05:12Many decided to drop Tiger as a client.

05:16He no longer was the good guy in the public's eye.

05:20The perfect image went up in flames once everything came to light.

05:24After six years of marriage and two children.

05:28Woods and Aline had a highly publicized divorce in August of 2010.

05:33It was all the talk in news media for months.

05:37Many platforms would speculate the sum of money that his wife would potentially obtain in the

05:41divorce.

05:43Outrageous numbers like 750 million would be discussed.

05:48It became a hot topic of discussion in the media.

05:51It indeed was a very expensive divorce for Tiger.

05:55In the settlement Aline was awarded over 100 million dollars.

06:00Also she would receive around 20,000 dollars a month for child support.

06:05Following the life changing events that took place.

06:09Tiger's golf game started to decline.

06:12He would look like a shell of his former self and face many defeats.

06:17Sports commentators wondered if he still had it in him to continue.

06:21No one ever seen Tiger struggle so bad.

06:25Eventually once everyone had moved on, Tiger's game did indeed improve for a while.

06:31Unfortunately, injuries would play another role in the rest of his declining career.

06:38The ex-couple still remains friends to this day.

06:41They co-parent successfully with no signs of ever getting back together again.
