Swedish golfer Helen Alfredsson says many on the golfing circuit were aware of Woods' affairs since the British Open last year Tiger Woods' cheating was no secret to other golfers, Swedish LPGA star Helen Alfredsson said Wednesday, while Golf Digest announced it was putting the 14-time major winner's advice column on ice.

"I heard it last summer during the British Open," Alfredsson said, describing Woods as "cold" and saying there was "something odd about him" that belied the clean image he enjoyed until the sex scandal erupted four weeks ago. "In the quietest water swims the ugliest fish," Alfredsson said. Woods, a week shy of his 34th birthday, has indefinitely halted his golf career to cope with personal issues in the wake of a media storm that has seen at least 14 women claim affairs with him. "If he just paid for the escorts, I understand it a bit more. Then no one needed to know," Alfredsson said. "But now he did everything and a girlfriend and everything." Alfredsson, 44, said she wondered why Woods even bothered to marry when he was reportedly using Elin's pregnancy as an excuse for not being with a woman a full 12 months before his first child was born. "When he says to the girl that he cannot see her because he has family matters, when Elin will give birth, is he not a bit cold?" Alfredsson pondered. Elin Woods has reportedly hired a divorce attorney and was said to be most upset about Woods carrying on one relationship for three years and another while she was pregnant. Golf Digest, which pictured Woods and United States President Barack Obama on its latest cover before the scandal broke, said Woods will not write his usual monthly pieces for the magazine during his professional hiatus. Woods has written for Golf Digest since turning professional in 1996.
