When they made their relationship official in 2013, it seemed like the couple would be together for several years. However, their relationship could not survive due to several reasons, and they split mutually in 2015. This was a shock to many fans as the couple was known to be made for each other. However, Vonn revealed the truth a year after her breakup with the golfer. In 2016, she spilled the beans as to why her relationship was too much for her.
What did Lindsey Vonn say about her relationship with Tiger Woods?
In 2016, the Olympic skier sat down for an interview with E! News to promote her book ‘Strong Is the New Beautiful.’ There she also spoke about her failed relationship with Woods. The split was hard for both sports stars, even though it was mutual. However, it was too hard on Vonn because of all the unwanted spotlight on her. “It was essentially being in a fish bowl. Everyone’s looking at you and judging you and commenting on what they think is right or wrong,” said Vonn.
However, her relationship with Woods taught her a lot. Blocking out the noise and negativity made her stronger as a person. It was a high-profile relationship, as both athletes were at the top of their careers and received too much media attention. It was the most important lesson she learned from the relationship.
The skier also revealed how she was completely unaware of all the scrutiny she was receiving from the public and media. However, she did that on purpose so she could be away from the negativity for some time. In the same interview, Vonn also mentioned that dating the former number one was “really hard” due to all the media coverage they used to get, which the skier did not like.
Does Vonn regret her relationship with Woods?
Even though the relationship with Woods was challenging for the Alpine Skier, she does not regret it. However, she believes that jumping into a relationship right after her divorce was not a great idea, as she was in the limelight too soon.
