Pro Golfer Tiger Woods and Olympic Skier Lindsey Vonn recently made their relationship public. A vast number of photos of the couple are all over social media and entertainment sites.
Many view this as a move by Woods to distance himself from his infamous sex scandal in 2009. However, Vonn, actually made fun of Woods during the scandal, according to an article in the New York Daily News.
In an article by Time magazine in 2010, Vonn is on record poking fun at the now, very public, object of her affection.
According to the article someone in her “Vonn-tourage”, as the article calls it, mentioned that Woods hugged some friends after his press conference about the affairs. Vonn reportedly responded by joking, "They're like, 'Yeah, you're awesome, you go have that sex.'"
She even went as far as to map out a skit she would do on Saturday Night live. In the hypothetical skit, she would stand on a podium and, in a fake serious voice and say, “there's something you don't know about me. Tiger, you're like my idol, and I too have a sex problem."
“That would be freaking funny,” she said as her friends continued to laugh, according to the Times article.
The couple was also involved in some recent drama. As Woods attended his 5-year old daughter Sam’s junior baseball game, Vonn waited in the car for an hour according to the Daily Mail. Apparently she did not want to cause a problem with Woods ex-wife Elin Nordegren, who was also at the game. Despite any amount of drama the two have been very open with the fact that they are dating—happily.
In a post on Vonn’s Facebook page, on Monday she wrote:
“I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods. Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy. I don't plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends. Thank you for understanding and your continued support! xo LV”
Vonn and Woods might get love from each other, but privacy is one thing they won’t be getting from anyone any time soon.
