American golfer Tiger Woods has expressed his anger over a Dublin magazine printing topless photos of a woman with the claim that they were those of his Swedish wife swimsuit model Elin Nordegren.
The photograph appears in the September issue of the listings magazine. Under the headline "Ryder Cup filth for Ireland" is a picture of a topless woman.
The article continues: "Most American golfers are married to women who cannot keep their clothes on in public. Is it too much to ask that they leave them at home for the Ryder Cup?
Woods and the United States team, according to the Daily Mail, are "appalled" by the article in the Dubliner, which portrays the players' wives and girlfriends as cheap on the eve of the Ryder Cup.
Elin is found in a variety of sweaty poses on porn sites across the web, but the photo is not of the 26-year-old model.
The article goes on to claim that Chad Campbell's wife Amy is a "large-chested singer" and suggests that Jim Furyk's wife Tabitha "married geeky Jim as his winnings hit 10 million pounds". The piece also says Sonya Toms, wife of David, finds it "liberating" to wear her bikini around the house.
The magazine has been banned from the team's hotel.
The wives are scheduled to attend a lunch in their honour during a Ryder Cup Race Day at the Curragh course on Wednesday.
