It was a Thanksgiving that would forever change the life and career of Tiger Woods, the world's greatest golfer.
The events that unfolded that night involved a golf club, but it wasn't Woods' swing that caused the chaos.
Four years ago, Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, chased him out of their house with a golf club after discovering his infidelity.
She suspected there was another woman, but little did she know that there were many more.
Over the years, details have emerged about what really happened on that fateful night.
Leading up to the incident, Woods had just won the Masters in Australia, adding another victory to his already impressive record.
Since 1999, he had won at least one major golf championship every year and had a total of 14 major wins from 1997 to 2008.
He was considered the greatest golfer of all time and a role model for many, earning a billion dollars in endorsements and having a picture-perfect life with his beautiful wife and two children.
On Thanksgiving Day, Woods and Nordegren were spending time with his mother at their mansion in Windermere, Florida.
Little did they know that a scandal was brewing.
The National Enquirer had just released a story detailing Woods' affair with Rachel Uchitel, a nightclub hostess from New York City.
Woods had met her during the Australian Masters, and she claimed they were in love.
Nordegren, wanting to confirm the truth, confronted Uchitel over the phone.
Woods had also called Uchitel, asking her to remove any evidence of their relationship from her phone.
As Nordegren read the Enquirer's story, she discovered more shocking details about her husband's infidelity.
Woods had been involved with multiple women, including Jaimee Grubbs, a name Nordegren found in his call history.
The truth was finally out, and Nordegren couldn't contain her anger.
She confronted Woods, leading to a heated argument that escalated into violence.
Nordegren threw Woods' phone at him, chipping his tooth.
She then attacked him physically before grabbing a golf club and chasing him out of the house.
Woods fled barefoot, with Nordegren in hot pursuit.
Their shouting woke up the neighbors, and their argument continued in the streets.
Woods eventually drove away in his car, crashing into various objects before ending up unconscious on the road.
Nordegren, still holding the golf club, pleaded for help from a neighboring couple.
When the police arrived, Nordegren initially claimed it was just a car accident, but they were skeptical.
Woods was taken to the hospital, where he received treatment for his injuries.
Nordegren refused to cooperate with the police investigation, and Woods' agent informed them that he would not be available for questioning.
The police could only issue a ticket for careless driving.
As the scandal unfolded, more women came forward, revealing their affairs with Woods.
They included p^rn stars, strippers, escorts, and party girls.
Woods' reputation took a severe hit, and he lost several lucrative endorsement deals.
He announced a leave from golf and entered rehab for s** addiction.
Nordegren used this time to reconsider her marriage and renegotiate her prenuptial agreement.
Despite rumors of 120 mistresses, Nordegren remained undecided until the revelation of a 15th mistress, Raychel Coudriet, who happened to be their neighbor's daughter.
This ultimately pushed Nordegren towards the decision to end their marriage.
Since the scandal, Woods' golf career has never fully recovered.
While he still earns millions from endorsements, his success on the course has diminished.
The night that Tiger Woods was exposed as a serial cheater not only shattered his personal life but also left a lasting impact on his professional career.
