Tiger Woods fathered a secret love child, according to media reports Thursday.
The Sun reported that a new television documentary called "Tiger Woods: The Rise and Fall" will claim the golf superstar has a secret kid -- and that there is DNA evidence to back up the allegation.
The documentary, to air Thursday, alleges Woods paid the "cougar" mistress Theresa Rogers 4 million dollars to buy her silence after she gave birth to a girl in 2003, according to the Daily Mail.
But radaronline.com said that Woods is not the father. It is reporting that Woods did father a secret love child, but with porn star and escort Devon James, one of about a dozen women publicly identified as one of his mistresses.
Devon James was just 19 years old when she met Woods, and the pair are said to have "immediately" engaged in an affair, at which point the woman allegedly became pregnant.
However, Sandra Brinling, the mother of James told E! News that Woods is not only not the father, but labeled her daughter a "pathological liar" for even alleging it.
Her current husband, she claimed, helped James come up with the illegitimate child tale as a way to extract money from the embattled athlete.
"I would love to talk to Tiger Woods and apologize that that is my daughter doing that and tell him the real truth that I know."
Rumours about a secret child have circulated since Woods, 34, split from his wife, Elin Nordegren, over claims he's had affairs with as many as 121 mistresses.
