“Just two weeks after the Tiger Woods cheating scandal exploded – and on the heels of revelations that two of the golfer’s alleged paramours are porn stars — an adult movie called “Tiger’s Wood” is already in production, according to E! Online.

The skin flick bills itself as the “official porn parody” of the allegedly sex-crazed golfer’s reported antics, according to the Web site, which has obtained a copy of the script.

The film, to be produced by Adam & Eve Pictures, will star Tyler Knight as the embattled golfer and  Kayden Kross as Elin Nordegren, according to a statement posted on Knight’s Web site.

“I’m playing porn-Elin,” an ecstatic Kross tweeted.

The company expects the film to hit smut shops’ shelves within eight weeks.”
