jaimeeJaimee Grubbs tries her best to apologize to Tiger Woods‘ wife, Elin Nordegren, in an interview with Extra airing tonight and tomorrow. “I couldn’t describe how remorseful that I am to have hurt her family and her emotionally,” Jaimee says.

Jaimee, who says she was intimate with Tiger about 20 times over three years, admits, “If it wasn’t me, it was going to be other girls. I did care about him — I didn’t do it for superficial reasons. I didn’t do it to purposely hurt her.”

The 24-year-old says she wouldn’t say she and Tiger were in love.

“Love is obviously a very strong word for me to even use,” she says. “I wouldn’t necessarily say that I didn’t love him. But I couldn’t… I did never say that I did love him. I didn’t let myself get that far.”

Despite what has happened, Jaimee thinks Tiger and Elin should “try to work” out their relationship.

“He’s an amazing guy despite everything that is coming forth,” Jaimee says of the golfer who’s currently been linked to 11 women.

Tiger and Jaimee allegedly had plans to hook up even as he and Elin were due to give birth to their second child, Charlie.

If Tiger called it quits with Elin, Jaimee wouldn’t necessarily be intimate with him again.

“I can’t say that I would ever go back to him, she says. I would definitely have a relationship with him whether it was friends or just to have him in my life. But as far as going back to him emotionally like I was — I don’t know if I can put myself through that again.”

Jaimee explains that Tiger “never mentioned his wife” to her when they were together.

“I wouldn’t have pursued him if he didn’t pursue me,” she says. “I mean, when he did, I just figured he was single and I didn’t think to ask.”

Once she learned he was marries she says they were “already in a relationship.”

“I knew we had a respect between the both of us, that we cared deeply for each other and we did very much trust each other,” Jaimee says of her relationship with Tiger. “But the words were never there. Nothing about the relationship was fake that I felt.”

The number of women connected to Tiger Woods could top a dozen by week’s end, according to several sources familiar with Woods’ behavior during his frequent trips to Las Vegas.

Over the course of the weekend, Las Vegas-based Jamie Jungers, New Yorker Cori Rist and Florida-based Mindy Lawton have all been identified as having extramarital connections to Woods, bringing the total of named women up to six. According to British tabloids, Lawton might be Woods’ first mistress; the two met at a Perkins restaurant near Woods’ home where Lawton was a waitress, just two years after Woods married Elin Nordegren.

As for other women who have yet to come out, several prominent Las Vegas-based nightclub managers say that although Woods had women he had a “relationship” with, there were definitely others.

“He wasn’t one to send away someone who was interested. There was a revolving door of women with Tiger,” said one. “I can think of half a dozen off the top of my head. But if you want his business — and you do — you make sure it’s kept as discreet as possible.”

Another person who lives near Woods’ Windermere, Fla., home said that rumors of Woods’ infidelity were nothing new.

“Locally, there were always rumors of women in the community that he’d taken up with,” said the source. “You just never believed it because it seemed insane that he’d risk everything he has to sleep with women who were basically in his backyard. And with Tiger, you just didn’t want to believe it, either.”
