According to TMZ, Tiger Woods spared his private jet to pick up Olympic champion skier Lindsey Vonn from Austria after her terrifying crash on the slopes Tuesday that caused season-ending injuries. The gossip site posted the above photo of a blonde woman using crutches boarding a plane that appears to be Woods’ plane.
In TMZ’s live video segment earlier today, they showed pictures of Vonn getting on the jet that included the tail number — which, not-so-shockingly, is identical to Tiger’s.
Tiger and Vonn are reportedly an item.
Woods, naturally, has refused comment, while in December, Vonn has insisted they are just friends. Well, they must be super good pals if Tiger is lending her his own plane! (And as we know, Woods isn’t exactly known for his generosity…) More recently, Vonn was reportedly “giggly” when asked if Tiger was coming to watch her compete, and saying, “Oh, my god! I don’t know, you should ask him.”
Rumors about the pair were ignited when Tiger and Lindsey were both in Vail at the same time in November. Then, last month the Salzburg Times reported that Tiger made an overnight stop in Salzburg, Austria, landing on Sunday and leaving on Monday, the week he played the Abu Dhabi Championship. Vonn was in the same city for a TV interview at the same time.
Coincidence? Perhaps. But why else would Tiger go to Salzburg for a day (or less)? Perhaps he had business there — the personal kind.
Vonn was injured while competing at the Alpine World Championships in Schladmin. She was racing in the super-G when she took an alarming tumble, where she tore two ligaments in her right knee and broke a bone in her lower leg. She will need reconstructive surgery and the team announced she will not return for the remainder of the season, but expects her to be fit to race in the 2013-14 World Cup season, which starts in October, and the 2014 Olympics.
Well, on the bright side, Tiger is familiar with knee injuries and can support and console her while she recovers — that is, if they are actually dating. (Wink, wink.)
Pretty sure that’s not Tiger’s plane…that’s NetJets livery. Looks like he just sent a timeshare to grab her.
Tiger uses netjets to rent out his plane when he’s not using it
Sorry should word this differently: netjets operates Tiger’s plane & they are one of his sponsors.
This shd answer a few things:

Very astute sleuthing, Mike
WUP – Who determines that Woods is not generous ? info from hangers on, free loaders,faux friends.? the same Woods qho donates back all his winnings from AT&T and Deutsch Bank torneys to charity,start his Foundation with hi own money,start Earl Woods College Scholarship Fund for needy students; and I could go on.Gossip is hell on Wheels aint it., so is negativism!!!
This tabloid journo is too bizarro. Woods is so hated yet there is so much agony around his life-we burn in hades to discover what is going on to the detriment of our own lives. How do we function without a daily dose of Woods(tongue in cheek)!!!!Oh for a full night sleep without a Woods dream!!
Well Tiger himself has said he’s cheap. O’Meara has joked about how rarely Tiger pays. And he’s notorious for being a poor tipper.
But yes, he’s fairly generous to charity
fairly generous ?
Well, Shosh, let’s understand more about your rating scale?
And by the way,what a paltry, piece by WUP when it merely regurgitates links to garnish.
Why the regression? Thought SW would have been beyond that poor-man’s ass level of ‘rumour’ repetition.
Crap piece, worthy only of worth you borrowed it from, not worthy of your emergent brand.
Am I the only one here who’s creeped out by Shoshana? I’m a Tiger fan, too, but seriously. You sound like a stalker.
Or you could just use google, bc you research for a golf blog. But stealing seems way more interesting :eye roll:
The guy is being good, using his NetJets card to help his new GF!
I say, more power to the Tiger!
Ms. Wei.. I hope Golf Gossip is not a trend…if TMZ reported on Golf.. I’d write exactly the same. Please stay in your “Lane” most of the time!!
What is with the prissy Tiger apologists/defenders protesting against gossip?
Give me a break.
You sound like church ladies protesting against porn.
When it comes to golf gossip, count me in.
Marky Mark.. your such a troll. Example Cantalay and Spieth had great weeks..Phil blows up.. many many story lines at Pebble Beach.. you’d rather read about a Jet…
Typical Tiger slurper reply. You got any more material?
BTW, the Los Angeles Times, UPI, Fox News, The Daily Mail, The Guardian all reported separately on the news of Woods’ new pillow pal. It is hardly a TMZ exclusive.
Quick, write a letter or something.
