TIGER WOODS will play no part of The Open in Royal Birkdale.
The 14-time Major champion misses out after a difficult 2017 after back surgery and a DUI arrest. His comeback may be aided by stunning Playboy model Laci Kay Somers, however, a golf enthusiast he has been reportedly linked with.
Who is Laci Kay Somers?
The 25-year-old blonde stunner was born in California and is a jack of all trades - an actress, singer, swimwear model and sometime cosmetic nurse.
According to her Facebook page, she plays piano and sings everyday, was sadly bullied growing up, and is scared of the dark and pool cleaners.
She also says she "loves guys that lift, have tattoos, a personality and who can make me laugh."
It’s unclear how long Laci and Tiger have been associated with each other, but she is definitely the legendary golfer's type.
What is Laci Kay Somers' passion?
Singing, by account of a YouTube channel where she covers songs and also a crowdfunding page to try and help launch her music career.
But her day job does largely appear to be wearing a little amount of clothing at any one time in numerous topless photo shoots.
She has a huge social media following, from over 300,000 on Facebook to a mammoth 7.3 MILLION on her Instagram page, where she uploads a lot of racy pictures.
A sports fan as well, Laci has posed with basketballs, American Footballs and even playing golf - which is perhaps what attracted Tiger.
What is Tiger Woods' recent relationship history?
It is of course widely known that the champion golfer's career took a nose-dive around the time his addiction to sex became public after cheating on his ex-wife with many other women.
Woods split from former wife Elin Nordergren in 2010 after his string of affairs with cocktail waitresses and Las Vegas workers was exposed - and she reportedly received as much as £600million as part of a settlement payment.
Since then he has been in a number of relationships, most recently dating 32-year-old personal stylist Kristin Smith late last year.
It appears that was rather fledgling though, and before that he enjoyed a three-year romance with professional skier Lindsey Vonn.
They split in 2015 after what Vonn put to down to "their incredibly hectic lives" - but it has also been claimed he cheated on her as well.
