A US nightclub hostess denied Tuesday a fling with Tiger Woods ahead of his mysterious car crash, as the world's top golfer remained cooped up in his Florida mansion four days after the accident. Woods, who was found lying dazed beside his wrecked car on Friday at 2:25 am with facial cuts and bruises after driving into a fire hydrant and a tree, has refused to speak to police about the crash, fueling wild media speculation. The 14-time major winner issued a statement on his website Sunday hitting out at the 'unfounded and malicious rumors' circulating but offering scant detail about the crash. Chief among those rumors are gossip reports that claim Woods, 33, was having an affair with a New York nightclub hostess who was in Australia at the same time he was competing there last month. Speculation includes a scenario where Woods's wife, former Swedish model Elin, confronted him and chased him with a golf club, smashing in the rear windows of the vehicle as Woods tried to flee, causing him to lose control. On Tuesday, the alleged mistress dismissed the affair rumors, saying she had met Tiger twice in her life and only in her professional capacity as director of VIP services at a New York night club. 'It's the most ridiculous story. It's like they are asking me to comment if there are aliens on Earth,' Rachel Uchitel told the New York Post daily. 'Tiger and I are not friends,' 33-year-old Uchitel said, adding that the fact she was in Australia at the same time as Woods in November was a mere coincidence. 'Like I could just walk up to the 35th floor and go to the Presidential Suite if Tiger Woods was staying there? Like they would hand a girl a key at the front desk and let her go to Tiger's room. I didn't see him at all in Australia. I was just there with friends.' Uchitel said the source of the tabloid stories was someone she knew slightly and was not close to. She described the woman as a drug user and high-priced prostitute. 'This girl was never around me for any of the time she was saying she was. If I was having some big, lurid affair, I would not tell this girl. It's just ridiculous.' Despite Uchitel's denials the media storm refuses to go away for Woods, who withdrew Monday from a tournament to benefit his charity foundation as pressure increased on him to give a more detailed account of the crash. In a second statement on his website since the crash, Woods said he would miss the Chevron World Challenge that opens Thursday in suburban Los Angeles due to his injuries, for which he was admitted to hospital for several hours. Woods also called off a press conference scheduled for Tuesday at the tournament, ending any hopes he might use it to offer more details about the crash and seek to end the flurry of media speculation. Police charges remain possible from what Woods called an 'embarrassing' crash that resulted in his vehicle smashing into a fire hydrant and a tree and sustaining major damage. Woods praised his 29-year-old wife Elin in Sunday's statement, saying she 'acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble' and 'was the first person to help me. 'This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me,' he said. 'I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.' Website TMZ, which follows celebrity news, reported that the Florida Highway Patrol, which is investigating the Woods crash, was seeking a warrant to access medical records to check his injuries were sustained in a crash. Police would need evidence of probable cause to obtain such permission to examine his records, something unlikely to be obtained without cooperation from Woods or his wife. A police statement said only that no official comments about the probe have been made by authorities and the investigation continues. Woods is not obliged to speak with police, who said that an attorney representing Woods provided the golf star's driver license information, proof of insurance and vehicle registration as required under Florida law. Woods and Elin have been married for five years and have two children, daughter Sam Alexis, born in 2007, and son Charlie Axel, born in February.
