For years the world has wondered: Are those really photos of Tiger Woods Wife that have graced the pages of Gambling911.com?  It can finally be revealed that these are photos of Kimberly Hiott (also known as Kim Hiott).

Hiott's photoshoot for Playboy in December 2000 has spawned a series of online cases of mistaken identity, according to the Sunday Times of London.

"Hiott’s nude photos appear on numerous sport and porn websites, which mischievously credit her as either Elin Nordegren, Woods’ wife, or as Helen Svedin, the model wife of the former Portuguese international footballer Luis Figo.

"With Woods and Nordegren yet to decide whether they will sue The Dubliner over its now-infamous article, the magazine yesterday offered to make a “significant” donation to a charity of their choice as a way of ending the controversy."

The Dubliner Magazine wrote in its September issue about Elin Nordegren, Woods Swedish wife of nearly two years.

"Most American golfers are married to women who cannot keep their clothes on in public," the magazine wrote.

"Is it too much to ask that they leave them at home for the Ryder Cup? Consider the evidence. Tiger Woods' wife can be found in a variety of sweaty poses on porn sites."

Trevor Whyte, its publisher, told The Times he had been advised not to comment, but senior editorial staff said they are hopeful the “incredibly annoying, embarrassing and irritating” spat will go away once the Ryder Cup ends.

One online gambling firm, Bodog.com, even posted odds on whether or not a lawsuit would be brought against the Dubliner.
