Tiger Woods could face a tax probe after it was reported that he paid for prostitutes out of company funds.

It is being reported that the 33-year-old golfer could face questions from the IRS - America's Inland Revenue, reports The Daily Star.

Rachel Uchitel, 34, the first mistress who spilled the beans on Woods' extra-marital affairs, claims her trip to Australia to see Woods in November was paid for by Byron Bell.

Bell is the president of Tiger Woods Design, who has also been involved with the Tiger Woods Foundation, which supports 100 charities.

A source close to the organization confirmed the IRS "has expressed a desire to look over the books".

According to sources, Woods may also face a probe by the FBI over interstate vice following a Hollywood madam allegations that he spent more than $60,000 on "escorts" in two years.

A senior West Coast FBI agent said: "If a girl or girls in one state are hired for sexual services via a phone call from another state, it's a bureau matter."
