Tiger Woods Faces Heavy Criticism for Being “Stingy” with Tips at His Ex-Girlfriend’s Restaurant: What’s the Real Story? Tiger Woods’ tipping habits at Perkins Restaurant spark debate as new details about his past affair resurface. Is the criticism justified, or is there more to the story?
The Perkins Restaurant Affair: A Decade-Old Scandal Resurfaces
Tiger Woods’ affair with Mindy Lawton, a hostess at Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, has once again come under scrutiny, particularly regarding his financial habits. Lawton revealed that despite Woods earning nearly $10 million during the 2006 PGA Tour season, he was far from generous with his tips.
Coworkers reportedly labeled Woods as “stingy,” but Lawton brushed off their complaints at the time. She was deeply involved in the affair and believed Woods’ marriage to Elin Nordegren was nearing its end.
The relationship persisted even after Woods’ first child was born, only to unravel when the golfer’s infamous 2009 infidelity scandal exposed numerous extramarital affairs.

Tabloid Drama: The National Enquirer and the Perkins Affair
The National Enquirer allegedly followed Woods and Lawton for over a year, even going so far as to collect discarded items as evidence of their affair. Lawton claimed she was pressured to cooperate with the tabloid, which she says later used the story as leverage against Woods.
In a rumored settlement, Woods reportedly agreed to a feature in Men’s Fitness magazine, although spokespeople for The National Enquirer denied these claims. Regardless of the specifics, the scandal marked a turning point in Woods’ career and public image.
A New Chapter for Tiger Woods
More than a decade later, Woods is far removed from the scandals of his past. Leading a private life, he’s focused on his health and career. Fans anticipate his return at the 2024 PGA Championship, where he’ll aim for his 16th major title.
However, questions about his tipping habits and past actions linger, reigniting debates about his character. Critics argue that his “stingy” behavior reflects poorly on a figure who has achieved immense financial success.
