Echoing what she already told Page2Live Saturday, the woman identified as golf prodigy Tiger Woods’ paramour repeated she hasn’t been carrying on with the world’s No. 1 golf club swinger behind his wife’s back.

Rachel Uchitel, 34, the granddaughter of a Palm Beach banking magnate, has been one focus of rumors that Woods’ injuries on Black Friday were the result of domestic violence. A story in the Boca Raton-based National Enquirer a day before Woods’ crash outed Uchitel as Woods’ alleged mistress.

Uchitel told the New York Post today that she met Woods, a soon-to-be resident of Jupiter Island, just twice. She saw him once in the summer when he came into a Manhattan nightclub, The Griffin, where she was the VIP room hostess.

“As usual in my job, I got a call from a promoter that he’s coming in,” Uchitel said. “I went outside and brought him and his entire group in, walked them upstairs, introduced him to his waitress. I may have asked him if he needed anything. I hung out at the door to make sure they were OK, and when they were ready to leave, I walked them downstairs to the car. That’s my job. I had never spoken to him before that. I had met him once in my entire life before that, for two seconds at a bar through a mutual friend who just introduced me. Period. He was shy and quiet and sitting with someone else. It had nothing to do with me.”

Uchitel blasted two former girlfriends for taking as much as $25,000 each from the Enquirer for the story. She called one of them “a hooker.”

Uchitel also admitted to flying to Melbourne, Australia, last month and check into the same hotel as that of Woods. She said she was Down Under on her own business.

What kind of business?

“That’s nobody’s business,” she said.

Woods has yet to level with state troopers and his fans when it comes to the details of the mysterious SUV crash that injured him enough for him to cancel his appearance at his own charity golf tournament in Thousand Oaks, Calif., this weekend. But speculation abounds that a spat with his wife of five years, Elin Nordegren, led to his injuries.

Do you buy Rachel's story that she and Tiger Woods aren't even friends?

    You people in the press are absolutely reprehensible. You are not going to give up until you destroy both Tiger’s and Rachel’s integrity, and for what possible reason. To sell something. The press absolutely disgusts me when they attack individuals with no probable cause.Just because they are celebrities doesn’t mean that they are involved in disgusting activities. There could be a thousand reasons for Tiger’s accident which are possible very reasonable. He doesn’t have to tell, so leave him alone. You printed that two unscrupulous women were willing to trash Rachel and Tiger for $25000. You people just won’t believe that Tiger is happily married and that Rachel is a woman that happened to meet Tiger on 2 occasions. LET IT ALONE and move onto something that will do some good.

    Jose…you are really trying to destroy the man’s life and the future of his wife and kids…RIGHT??

    I say for that you are an idiot because you’re trying to make money off of unproven facts about the accident. It has not even been reported that anyone was with Tiger when the accident happened…that came from all the news publications (e.g., the National Enquirer). So let theman alone and get a life…it is NOT YOURS OR ANYONE ELSE’s BUSINESS HOW IT HAPPENED!!! He paid a fine just like you and I would if it were us. And it is a private matter between him, his family and GOD!

    Stop being an idiot!!!!!!!!!!

    Uchitel is really adamant that she’s not involved with Tiger. She would be in deep legal doo doo if the accusations she makes against others are untrue, and since she’s being advised by a very competent attorney, I think it’s safe to conclude she’s basically telling the truth about Tiger, at least.

    That doesn’t change the facts of what caused the accident. Tiger and Elin were reportedly fighting about the allegations of an affair… she chased him down, she attacked the car… maybe Tiger himself … and he lost control of his car and crashed. They told a couple people that’s what happened.

    But ya know… it all comes down to what Elin and Tiger can work out privately between themselves, and that… is none of our business. I wish them a happy future.

    Oh, oh… another sleazy woman, this time actually claiming to have been involved with Tiger… a 24 year old cocktail waitress, Jaimee Grubbs is talking to US Weekly, claiming a 31 month affair. She says she has voicemail recordings.

    Rachel did not fly to the land down under, Tiger landed in the Bush Down Under, A Hooker of Her caliber could cost upwards of a gigantic $150.00…..This Beaver will end up costing Him Millions by the time this mess is over with !! Rachel, when you asked Tiger if he needed anything, what was his answer and did you get wet or just get rich from sitting on the couch next to him being a good girl ??? Id rather be broke than to buy a cheap looking, botox injected fake boob infected Hooker ! Like my friend told me years ago….. Hey Joe, you dropped a 9 for a 3 !!

    … hey everyone, remember me?

    I am better driver than Tiger, my putting sucks.

    It will be interesting to see if Rachel sells Tiger out and confesses - or if she stays in denial with the media. I’m sure if the papers put up a million bucks her story would change real quick. Or is the pay off from Tiger’s camp more? AT this point it probably is.

    I have never seen such a fake woman before. Fake lips, boobs, hair,finger nails. Geeze Tiger, why not go for a natural beauty, not somnething that could pass as a transvestite?

    Why does the media constantly glorify and heroize these sluts? This woman is a “Nobody”. And Jose, you are wrong to pass her up as some Palm Beach blueblood. Mummy lives in a $300,000 condo that could pass as a nursing home - big deal. She peobably lives on the island to try and land some rich man like her daughtor has tried and failed to do - other than being their plaything for the moment. This girl obviously had no father figure growing up. Well, she can now join the ranks of Monica Lewinsky, and the other women who had affairs with famous men. Where are they 10 years later? Broke and 50 pounds heavier.

    I have heard many people share stories about the time they did such and such for, or in the same room as a big star. This is the first time anyone said oh, by the way I was introduced to him a few months before that, and then just happened to be in another country once, and stayed at the same hotel he did. Sounds like someone trying to spin some facts that won’t go away.

    Her first statement was that she never met him. Now she met him twice. What next?

    A site is taking bets on Tiger Woods to be divorced. Does anyone think thats a good bet considering the love affair rumors?
    The odds seem kinda low to me.
