Tiger Woods has had enough.

The world's best golfer has lashed out in Ireland this morning after an Irish magazine, under the headline "Ryder Cup filth for Ireland", printed raunchy pictures claiming to be Tiger's Swedish wife Elin, who is a former model.

The photos are bogus and have apparently been doing the rounds on the internet for some time.

Tiger almost broke down in the media conference, saying sometimes it is hard to be diplomatic when there is so much emotion involved, but he says overall the Irish fans have been great and he will not let this incident detract from the occasion that is the Ryder Cup

Woods confirms his wife has done bikini shoots, but to be linked to porn websites is disgusting and unacceptable.

The three-day Ryder Cup starts tomorrow night (NZ time).
