I want to make it very clear that I have never met him in person, never spoken to him over the phone, and have never had any interaction with him over any devices whatsoever including social media (IG and Facebook), we don’t know each other. I have never done drugs or taken any illegal substance in my entire life. I’m not sure where the rumor started that we were together, I’ve been home all weekend with my dogs and my mom. I was not partying in LA (sic) for Memorial Day weekend with him or anyone else for that matter. Please do not believe everything you read on the internet. Thank you,” Somer posted on Thursday morning.

Woods is thought to be dating Kristin Smith, the ex-wife of former Dallas Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh. According to her LinkedIn page, Smith graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in marketing in 2005. She works as a stylist and owns her own company called The Clad Life. She currently lives in Dallas, Texas, with her son, Isaiah, 7.
Rumors that Woods was spending time with Somers surfaced just days after his arrest. As Maxim points out, Somers looks like she is Woods’ type — he has dated plenty of blondes including his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, as well as his current girlfriend.
Woods split from Nordergren in 2010 after several reports about Woods having extra-marital affairs surfaced. The story that gained the most attention claimed that Nordegren attacked him with a golf club upon learning of his infidelity. He dated Olympic skier Vonn from 2012 until 2015. He was first linked to Smith in late 2016.
3. Rumors Woods Was Hooking Up With Somers Started Back in March
The rumors that Woods was linked to Somers began back in March. Sports gossip outlet Terez Owens was first to start the speculation. The site claimed to have received a “tip” about a hot new couple.
“Check out Laci Somers, who reportedly is hanging with the Tiger. Of course this may just be a false tip, because you know, being associated with Tiger is never a bad thing. It can always take you from anonymous to famous quickly,” Terez Owens reported in late March.
Following the initial publication, several other outlets picked up the story. But, it seems, there wasn’t any proof behind the “tip.” As such, the rumors fizzled out. That is, until Woods’ name was in the news again.
