Theresa Rogers is thought to be the golfers oldest mistress and says they had a fling before and after he married Elin Nordegren in 2004. Rogers, from Florida, is said to have travelled with Woods, 33, and met him in numerous US cities. If her claims of a five- year affair are true, it would be the longest yet reported involving the golfer (pictured).
