Is Tiger Woods dating Lindsey Vonn?
True? Or should we be put this one on ice?
Woods’s rep wasn’t immediately available for comment, but Vonn’s rep says the skier is thinking only of snow right now.
“Lindsey is currently in the midst of the World Cup season in Europe” – her rep tells PEOPLE. “Her focus is solely on competing and on defending her titles and thus she will not participate in any speculation surrounding her personal life at this time.”
This is not the first time Vonn (28) has been linked to another star athlete. Right after announcing her split from husband Thomas Vonn in November 2011, rumors flew that she was dating Tim Tebow. She quickly shot down those reports on Twitter.
Woods, 37, who was caught up in a highly publicized cheating scandal in 2009, hasn’t been seriously linked to anyone since splitting from his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.
Lindsey Vonn.
Has Tiger Woods finally found love again with pro-skier Lindsey Vonn?
A new report from Hollywood Life claims that Woods and Vonn have been dating since November, complete with romantic getaways and even time with his kids.
“They met through the ski community, because Tiger is an active skier” – a source close to Vonn told Hollywood Life. “Lindsey has been teaching Tiger’s kids Sam and Charlie how to ski.”
Woods reportedly turned heads when he made a pit stop in Salzburg, Austria, on the way to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on January 13, where Vonn was doing a TV interview, according to Golf.com. His private jet landed Sunday and took off on Monday.
Vonn dismissed the Woods rumors last month, telling the Denver Post: “We are just friends. My brother was the ski instructor for his kids this November in Vail. Guessing that’s where it came from.”
Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn have been dating since November. The superstar golfer and skier have found enough time in their busy schedules to take a romantic vacation to Antigua in January and Vonn has been spending time on the slopes with Woods’ kids.
Sounds pretty serious – that is, if you believe the anonymous sources close to both athletes quoted in the Hollywood Reporter, which started the gossip mill churning with a report about the alleged romance on Wednesday.
A “source close to Lindsey” told the Reporter that the two “met through the ski community, because Tiger is an active skier. Lindsey has been teaching Tiger’s kids Sam and Charlie how to ski.”
And a “Tiger source” added that even though Woods and Vonn are often on separate continents: “they constantly talk on the phone. And Tiger has made more of a commitment to Lindsey lately — he’s pulling out all the stops.”
Interestingly, Vonn made headlines in 2010 for poking fun at the then-married Woods’ news conference in which he discussed his infidelity. Then again, who didn’t mock that surreal, staged event?
Still, Woods and Vonn were in Vail, Colo., at the same time back late last year. “We are just friends” – the recently divorced Vonn told the Denver Post. “My brother was the ski instructor for his kids this November in Vail. Guessing that’s where it came from.”
But the two of them were also reportedly in Salzburg, Austria, at the same time earlier this month.
