The photo of Lindsey in the white dress, above, is from the CFDA Fashion Awards earlier this week. She’s wearing Cynthia Rowley and attended with Rowley. Somehow the look is cheap to me, I think it’s her brassy too-long fake hair and her overdone makeup. With better styling, that dress would be striking.
Lindsey was asked by several reporters at the event about her favorite subject, Tiger, and of course she obliged. She assured a guy from ET Online that they hadn’t broken up and that Tiger just had a bad week of golf, telling everyone to “chill.” She also admitted that Tiger didn’t enjoy the red carpet at the Met Gala last month as much as she did. (He reportedly got wasted at the after-party, which she didn’t mention.) Then when People Magazine asked her about Tiger she talked about how they’re alike because they’re both “at the top of our sports.”
“We just are happy,” Vonn told PEOPLE Monday at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York, where she wore a Cynthia Rowley (and attended with the designer).
“We’re similar. We’re both at the top of our sports, and we relate really well to each other.”
The Vail, Colo.-based skier, 28, and the golf champion, 37, who announced their relationship in March, have been together a lot lately – spotted most recently jet-skiing with his kids over Memorial Day weekend.
Vonn, in training for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, is looking at a summer of strength work, not skiing, which makes it easier to spend time with Woods.
“There’s not much distance,” she says. “I’m just in the gym right now, so I can be anywhere. I’m not skiing until September. So, it’s been great. We haven’t really been apart that much.”
I don’t see this ending well, but Lindsey seems to really want to make it work, doesn’t she? She’s also been seen out with Tiger’s kids several times, which is said to really tick off Tiger’s ex wife, Elin, who works to shield her family from the paparazzi. The Enquirer quoted a source in a story a couple of weeks ago who claimed “Elin’s furious. She feels Tiger is using their kids to repair his damaged image by appearing with them and Lindsey in a place where he know photographs will be taken. She wants to get an injunction to prohibit Tiger from exposing the kids to any publicity, especially when he’s with one of his girlfriends.”
Many people think that Tiger is using Lindsey, too, and that she must be deluded. One thing we know is that she’s not on drugs. The NY Post reported today that she was subjected to a random drug test by the International Olympic Committee – right before she had to go to the CFDA Fashion Awards! Lindsey was all decked out in her gown and ready to go when she got the call. She had to go into a bathroom at Lincoln center while officials waited for her to pee in a cup. She passed. Lindsay is training for the 2014 Winter Olympics and you can bet they’re keeping a close eye on her, especially considering the guy she’s dating. Are Olympians even allowed to drink? Checking… yes they are.

Shes ugly. Thats all i have to say.
That’s such a mean thing to say. She’s a world-class athlete, not an actress or a model. I think she looks pretty amazing, actually. Don’t know about her taste in men though.
Really?
Well that’s…vapid.
We’re at the top of our sports??? What a weak reason for being with someone.
I think Amanda is parodying Amanda Bynes?
He’s no prize either, so they work.
Aaaaamazing faaaaaaaaaaace, how big and round…
Pie face.
I don’t understand why she’s being criticized for her looks. She’s not a model. I think she’s cute. She looks like an ordinary, attractive young woman. Just because you are dating someone famous doesn’t mean that you have to look like a supermodel.
No, it will not end well.
They are both using each other.
How does she get invited to these events?
Homegirl is Mediawhoring up like a Pro!! My Goodness! I hope he isnt as cheap with her as his per usual with HoJo waitresses
^ Exactly.
This “relationship” reeks of PR and fame-whoring from both parties. Ick factor is in the stratosphere. Please don’t try to sell me on brand repair as True Romance (heart flutter).
Agree. PR stunt.
Downgrade. I try not to disparage one’s appearance, but she sounds more than confident enough to take any criticism. Top of their games, eh?
She IS at the top of her game. Winning three consecutive World Cups and then winning a 4th in 2012… she’s hardly a slacker. And she is quite pretty, but prettier without all the glam and makeup.
this isn’t a business relationship to get sponsors?
Yes. Yes, it is.
She gets her face out there in good time for the Winter Olympics, he gets positive press for dating an accomplished sportswoman instead of people associating him with models and hookers. Ker-ching!
I wonder if Tiger chose her because after a few drinks, in a very dark room, she reminds him of Elin.
I only read this story because of the headline “we’re both at the top of our sports”. Wasn’t Vonn injured earlier this year? I might be off on that. Anyway, she’s a fantastic skier (which is the one sport I absolutely love to do), but I don’t care – I totally judge her for dating scuzball extreme Tiger Woods. Yuck!
What sport…Synchronized screwing?
Unfair. You may not like them (I don’t), but there is no denying that they’re both world class athletes.
I only know her from the story with Maria Riesch, another ski athlete. Basically they were supposedly very friends and suddenly it all turned in a cat fight, full of juicy bitching.
I can understand that 2 top athletes have a lot in common and can understand the life, but…that hardly outweighs the risk of being with someone who bangs everything that crosses his path. She’s an idiot.
Though I’m suspecting she’s angling for PR and business deals, and then the eventual pity party book deal with she’s “shocked” to find he cheated on her too.
either that or she just loves her some really filthy dirty d¡ck.
he is nasty. smh
she just needs the attention.cause none of them are on top of anything..(in the top 10 BORING tabloid stories, YEAHH)
No Honey,
He’s on top of your “sports” and probably about 15 others “sports” too.
Let’s hope she thinks she’s fooling all of us because if she’s just fooling herself, a bad break up just in time for winter could really affect her “game”.
I’m totally with Elin here. Tiger is hamming it up for the press, with the kids and this new wholesome looking girl, to score some points and look like a good dad. This relationship feels 100% insincere.
I’m not a fan or either one of them but relationships do tend to work better when you’re part of each other’s world. There aren’t a lot of people who understand the pressures of high level athletics and I can see how that gives them something in common that makes the relationship work a little better.
Tiger’s won four times this year alone, and that’s a successful career for most golfers. He is at the top of his golf game, regardless of personal opinions about him, and while I know nothing about skiing, she is certainly the face of the US ski program. Even non-skiers have heard of her and most of us can’t name a single other skier.
She really used to be much prettier. IDK what’s happened to her in the past couple of years, maybe stress or something?
My guess would be that it’s from extensive sun damage – being outdoors in the snow all those years, she’s probably gotten as much sun exposure as a normal person in their forties….
Ugh, I can’t stand this woman. I run into her all the time on the slopes, and she came to my senior prom. She’s super bitchy and self-absorbed, and really quite daft.
I am glad to read this from someone who has first hand knowledge because I felt kind of guilty for thinking that she may be just based on her interviews during the Olympics. I don’t know her at all but she just seems really self absorbed and vapid.
Yes ^^^ Bitchy and daft. I thought she had mental issues years ago. Her poor boyfriend at that time always had to massage her ego and keep her functioning. Doesn’t anyone remember the big drama about her “bruised leg” that she floated before competition so she would have an excuse to fail? She is ALWAYS injuring or fake-injuring herself, which is just curious. Part of being an Olympian is being able to see it through – perform under pressure without making self-destructive (PITY ME) errors. They deserve each other.
@Belle: Totally. Granted it was high school, but the guy I knew who dated her and brought her to prom ended up breaking up with her because she couldn’t talk about anything but herself. She was home-schooled if I remember correctly, so she could focus on training, but her parents completely cultivated her idiocy and self-absorption by downplaying lessons and only caring about her skiing.
Whenever she’s “injured” she still shows up at Vail to ski, I’ve noticed that much. Other than that she just takes up three runs and is rude to the peasants (who pay $550/year for the pass).
@Rhiley: Trust your instinct. Spot-on.
Is it just me or does the front hem of her dress look weird? Like they folded it under and taped it?
I liked the part about how Elin doesn’t want her children’s pictures to be taken especially when Tiger is “out with one of his girlfriends.” I am sure Tiger has a hook up in every city that has a Perkins.
he’s playing in my neighborhood in about a week. we have a perkins. he must be so excited!
She’s just deluded if she thinks he will ever be faithful. Anyone who could cheat on that scale for so long is just gross. Maybe she doesn’t mind.
I agree with Elin about not wanting the kids papped. I’ve seen many unkind souls calling her a famewhore and a golddiger, but 1) she went to college and is pursuing a career in psychology, even though she could do nothing for her entire life and 2) I have never seen her photographed with the kids post-divorce. I could be mistaken, but don’t remember seeing any such pictures. She gave one clarification interview to People, and that was it. I admire her for keeping the kids’ privacy, and he should too.
Tiger’s sport is cheating on his wife, numerous times. Lindsey – get out now!
LOL, No one can beat him at that. Now that’s the hallmark of a world class athlete.lol
Well, SHE may be at the top of her game…can’t really say the same for Mr Woods these days. That voodoo doll under Elin’s bed works pretty well.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Ok… here’s the thing…
Tiger got divorced because of his wandering dong and penchant for ‘hooker-esque’ type bimbos, you know the ones with ample skills in the bedroom and on the pole. So, why would he get into another realtionship when he’s free to be the MAN-WHORE that he always wanted to be?
ANSWER: TO CLEAN UP HIS IMAGE WITH AN ALL AMERICAN WHOLESOME BLUE-EYED BLONDE.
He’s a DOUCHEBAG(he’s using her) and she’s a DUMBASS (for having relations with this male skank)
He is a really unattractive person, inside and out. I cannot see what anyone would see in him, but it certainly says something about the person who does….
Hope they will be a icon couple. The personality of Woods is nice. On the other hand Lindsey is a cute lady. Best of luck.
