Alyse’s biological father is former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Lahti. Her stepfather is Alistair Johnston, a high ranking executive at IMG, the mega sports agency that represents Tiger. He is also Chairman of the Rangers Football Club that plays in the Scottish Premiere League.
The IMG executive reportedly introduced the couple several months ago and his daughter was been seen recently on Tiger’s luxury yacht.
