Tiger Woods still has his head stuck in the sand over his scandal — but the woman who supposedly started it all is hitting the beach.
Rachel Uchitel, the Chelsea club girl who was the first woman to be linked to the golfer, was out and about yesterday, taking a leisurely stroll along the Palm Beach shore.
The revelation that Woods allegedly carried on a years-long relationship with Uchitel reportedly sparked the Thanksgiving-night smashup at his mansion near Orlando.
She became the first in a parade of alleged paramours to surface after the incident, in which Woods, reportedly fleeing his golf-club-swinging wife, crashed his SUV into a tree.
There was no word on whether Uchitel, who has family in Palm Beach, planned to see Woods, who lives about three hours north in Windermere.
Woods’ yacht Privacy is docked nearby in North Palm Beach.
Uchitel’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, said her client’s trip was nothing more than a holiday visit with family.
Woods has made shockingly little effort to conceal his philandering ways — and that recklessness has wife Elin Nordegren fuming.
Some of Woods’ Orlando-based hotties were not shy about telling friends they played a round with Tiger, making the his infidelity the worst-kept secret in town.
“Elin feels that Tiger made a fool of her and that’s not something she can forgive,” a source close to the wife told RadarOnline.com.
