Just leave it to Howard Stern for the ultimate Tiger prank

As if Tiger Woods’s apology last week for his serial philandering wasn’t enough of a public humiliation, several of his former mistresses have agreed to take part in a beauty pageant in which they will compete for a $100,000 prize.

The Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant, organised by the US shock jock Howard Stern, will be held on March 10.

So far, only four of the golfer’s former mistresses — out of the 13 identified in the press — have agreed to take part.

They will compete in categories such as “Swimsuit”, “Personality”, and “Talent” to earn the judges’ votes.

When Mr Stern first announced the idea of the pageant, he said that it would take place only if more than three women responded. All of them had to have been named in news publications as lovers of the golfer.

The prize money for Mr Stern’s pageant will be supplied by AshleyMadison.com, a “discreet dating service” company. The site, which has 4.5 million users, advertises itself with the slogan “Life is Short, Have an Affair”.

Howard Stern has offered a judging spot to Elin Nordegren, the golfer’s estranged wife and the mother of his two young children. She has not responded to the invitation.

He’s a nut! That’s all this woman needs to deal with. She should do it!
