Tiger’s Vonn and Only: Facebook Official!
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are officially banging dating. Naturally, the happy couple went public about their relationship in the most Tiger way possible — perfectly timed statements and professional photos of the pair on Twitter and Facebook.
This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes.
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
Nope, it wasn’t a secret. We already knew, or assumed so much — I mean, who stops in Austria on the way to Dubai for an overnight trip? And you don’t just send your private jet to come to the rescue of merely a friend. Well, probably not Tiger at least (who is known for being frugal).
But to make it public on Facebook?! — with professional pictures together, no less. Well, that means it’s officially serious!
I know I’m not alone in feeling weirded out about the posed pictures, right?
A few things before I jet off to the airport: 1) The comments section on Lindsey’s FB wall are kinda funny in a sophomoric way and worth browsing through (but I know you guys can do better, so be sure to leave your thoughts below);
2) Deadspin tweeted an old classic from Tiger’s Sex Scandal;
3) I wonder if we’ll spot Lindsey at Bay Hill, where Tiger is the defending champion, this week. After all, they probably chose to go Facebook official today for a reason. Don’t worry, I’ll have my stalking sensor on high alert.
That’s all.
So what’s the bigger “Golf” story this week Stacy Lewis or Lindsey Vonn. I say the girl that plays from the Black (slopes)
To paraphrase: “yes we’re dating, now leave us alone”. When you’re as high profile as they are hard to keep things a secret. Suspect this was about attempt at control. And that we’ll see her in some golf galleries
And now Tiger can finally bring a public date to the Ryder Cup/ Prez Cup. I’m not crazy about the new tag trending #Liger — Pretty sure tiger doesnt like it neither
black slopes.. what’s with this racist bullshit.. drewbress or Klan.. what the fuck!!!
someone make sure Awkward Family photos gets a copy of this one.
The story was more accurate when you left in the “banging”…
…..and Lindsey seems such a nice girl!!
Lindsey began her professional career at the age of 16 and she seems fine. When will the LPGA wakeup/
He could do better. In fact, he was.
LOl,,,,, Funniest opening line of a WUP article,,,,, EVER!!
We will know she is truly smitten, if she ditches her Under Armour contract for those fools at Nike.
She is a beast. I’d guess she can almost bench what he can. Awful picture of them together. Looks like a date site success story advert. http://wp.me/p32cTD-1D
Am I the only one who thinks your crossed out banging was totally not funny, but sophomoric and unfair to both Tiger and Lindsey?
No Jim, you’re not the only one. But let me add that the “banging” cross out was a cheap, tawdry throwaway jab that adds nothing and actually diminishes Stephanie’s post. I would simply ask Stephanie this question: On a second or third look at that cross out, would you do it again?
drewbress.. take your fucking racist fucking shit.. and get the fuck outta this blog .. i won’t stand for it.. i don’t need this shit..
I think he was just aiming for a combo golf/ski joke.. Aka.. Black tees or Black Diamond (on ski slopes). Am I wrong?
Think it was a “slope rating” type joke, but either way, it sucked, and had some very unfortunate possible interpretations.
Thank you Jud, of course I am referring to Black tees and Black Diamond. Apparently that wasn’t clear to everyone.
GMoore I accept your apology.
The black slopes vs. black tees joke was clear to me.
Guys, the most inflammatory explanation isn’t always the right one.
Now, that’s how you do plausible deniability. Bravo, you master of the double entendre.
Yes, I agree that WUP crossed out phrase was poor and disappointingly used. But since the media is perfect i cannot forgive the sleaze factor.Vonn is recovering from a torn ACL and fracture, so I dont imagine that she will be walking around the golf course any time .soon
