Tiger Woods Dated LeAnn Rimes

Country singer Leann Rimes used to go out with Tiger Woods?

That's the story making the rounds in the tabloids right now, based on anonymous sources that are supposedly close enough to have inside info.

The source says Rimes and Wood went out several times, and "sealed the deal" as it were, but that Leann's father was not happy with this choice of man, and she chose to respect her father's wishes in the end.

Tiger Woods has of course been in the news for his relationship problems and infidelity, winding up in a rehab clinic to get help and therapy for his addiction to sex and self-destructive behavior.

LeAnn Rimes also had a high profile run-in with the tabloids when she was suspected of cheating on her husband with a fellow Hollyood industry insider.

Really though, it doesn't seem tremendously newsworthy that Rimes and Woods dated..it was before either of them were married, so why not!

Woods, now 34, and Rimes, 27, 'went out a few times' before she wed soon-to-be ex-husband Dean Sheremet in 2002. 'They hooked up and everything,' the source [says]. 'Tiger was really into her. He likes those blondes!' Alas, Rimes' dad protested. 'Her dad almost had a heart attack,' the source adds. 'And he made her stop seeing Tiger.' Interestingly, both Woods and Rimes went on to have affairs during their marriages. Rimes had an on-set tryst with Eddie Cibrian while shooting the 2009 Lifetime movie Northern Lights...
