Kirsty Gallacher denies online rumours that she had an affair with Tiger Woods

Denial: Former Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, 34, is a close friend of golfer Tiger Woods but says internet rumours they had an affair are incorrect

Television presenter Kirsty Gallacher has issued a public denial to make clear she has never had a fling with serial adulterer Tiger Woods.

The rumours have been ricocheting across the internet since revelations emerged about Woods's prolific infidelity.

Miss Gallacher's sudden declaration however, risked attracting even more attention than she would otherwise have faced, as the claims had been limited to online gossip.


Miss Gallacher admits she is friends with the golfer and has described him as 'incredibly handsome, kind and talented'. She also said he calls her whenever he visits the UK.

But in her denial, the one-time Sky Sports presenter, who gave birth to her second child in January, said: 'It was all speculation and it was incorrect.

'It was very upsetting. I knew I was being talked about and that's why lawyers were involved.

'But what you do in this job is you get quite strong because you know things will come at you.'

Edinburgh-born Miss Gallacher, 34, grew up touring America as she supported her golfing legend father, Bernard Gallacher, and soon became close friends with Woods as he embarked upon his stratospheric career.

When the internet rumours began, she threatened legal action against anyone peddling the gossip.

But the allegations gained momentum as reports emerged recording the occasional lads' magazine cover-girl expressing her admiration for the world's number one golfer.

In 2000 she gushed about Woods's 'wonderful' looks and personality.

'He's exactly like he comes across in public - a wonderful, kind and talented man. Not to mention incredibly handsome,' she said.
