Tiger Woods is seeing a 22-year-old student who looks much like his ex-wife Elin Nordegren. But Alyse Lahti Johnston who is 13 years younger than the golfer also has a checkered past – she was arrested on suspicion of DUI last year. The University student and budding golfer has been been spending a lot of time with Woods in recent weeks.
Johnston’s step-father is an executive at IMG which is the sports agency that represents Woods. The two have been seeing each other for a few months now and have been spotted on Woods’ yacht. They were apparently there with another couple and he is said to be smitten with her, for now.
Woods’ new girl follows the stream of mistresses that came out of the woodwork two years ago leading to the implosion of his marriage and career. The blonde beauty is originally from Cleveland, Ohio but is now living in Florida.
Johnston was arrested on a DUI on October 9 last year by police in Orlando, Florida. However, a lesser charge of Reckless Driving, a first degree misdemeanor, was brought against her on December 10. She was represented by a high-profile Florida attorney. She pleaded no contest to the charge and an adjudication was pending until she met several condition. Johnston was ordered to undertake a DUI Counter Attack School and a Victims Awareness Program. She was also obligated to obtain a substance abuse evaluation and report to probation.
Her final charge was Improper Change of Lane when she went back to court on January 21 and the case has now been closed. She is reportedly attending the Ohio-based Northwood University which has a campus in West Palm Beach, Florida – near Tiger’s new $60million bachelor pad. Johnston’s biological father is former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Lahti.
Mr Johnston and Alyse’s mother reside for half of the year at their estate in Windermere, Flordia – the same exclusive area where Woods has a home. And it seems she wants to follow in Woods’ steps and become a golfer. She is apparently training for the LGPA Tour. ‘Her stepdad hired a coach for her’, a source said. ‘He introduced her to Tiger’. At least Tiger is training her for some type of a hole in one.
