Another woman claims to have had an affair with Tiger Woods. Yawn.

Oh, she’s a porn star? Who cares.

Tuesday, adult actress and escort Devon James called the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show to claim that she had a 2 1/2-year affair with the golfer.

Sure, she had some juicy details to offer -- Woods initially paid James and a friend for three-way sex, he was into ‘dirty stuff,’ information about his anatomy -- but isn’t this all getting a little boring?

By most counts, that brings the grand total of Woods’ mistresses to 15. And the porn star count is up to three. But this isn’t late 2009 (seems like so long ago, doesn’t it?).

Think of all the Tiger-related ‘news’ we’ve heard about and discussed endlessly since then -- the Thanksgiving night crash, the numerous women with their allegations, the dropped sponsorships, the supposed sex addiction, the in-patient therapy, the state of his marriage, the wonderfully awkward televised apology and the announcement of his return to golf at the Masters.

At some point, it started getting tiresome. Nothing interesting came out of the interviews last weekend (that bracelet sure got a lot of coverage) and even the spoof on last week’s ‘South Park’ wasn’t really all that funny.

But maybe I’m in the minority. I honestly wasn’t going to write about this until I kept getting Google Alerts about it and saw how high James was ranked on Google Trends (No. 2 in Hot Searches at the moment).

And I do have to admit that I will be glued to the TV for the Masters. It will be great to see how he performs on the course and how fans react to him, live on television. So in 15 days, Woods will be relevant again -- but who knows how many more alleged mistresses’ stories we’ll have to endure before then.
