Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan may have created a monster.

Tiger Woods has the reputation of quite the lady's man, but it wasn't always that way. Once he got his game going, however, it led to a nasty divorce from his ex-wife Elin Nordegren due to his infidelity, and eventually a breakup between the golfer and skier Lindsey Vonn.

Turns out, Jeter and Jordan, two of the biggest icons in sports, helped guide a young Woods in how to successfully talk to women.

"The sexual bravado hid his awkwardness around women," an ESPN article entitled, 'The Secret History of Tiger Woods' states. "One night he went to a club in New York with Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan. Jeter and Jordan circulated, talking with ease to one beautiful woman after another. (Both declined to comment about the episode.) At one point, Tiger walked up to them and asked the question that lives in the heart of every junior high boy and nearly every grown man too. 'What do you do to talk to girls?' Jeter and Jordan looked at each other, then back at Tiger, sort of stunned."

It seems two of the greatest of all time ended up mentoring a young Woods in how to pick up women and once he was unleashed, there was no stopping the golfer.

After his marriage fell apart, Woods dated Vonn from March 2013 to May 2015, but their relationship reportedly ended over the skier's fears that Woods' sordid past behavior of not being able to remain loyal to one woman were creeping up again.

The skier also admitted her own divorce probably made her unsuited for a relationship with Woods.

"Thomas [Vonn, ex-husband] was really my first boyfriend, so I didn't have a lot of dating experience," she told the New York Times in November. "So jumping into a relationship right away after getting a divorce was probably not the smartest move on my part."

Woods learned from the best, including Jeter, who has dated a who's who of beauties throughout the years. The former Yankees captain and shortstop has been linked to such stunners as Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel and Gabriel Union. He is currently engaged to gorgeous swimsuit model Hannah Davis.

Perhaps the advice from Jeter and Jordan worked too well for Woods.
