‘Give Him a Break’: Years Before Taking a Jibe at Tiger Woods, Ex Lindsey Vonn Famously Defended Him For a Poor Week of Golf in 2013

The fans of Tiger Woods were waiting for him to grab his 16th major victory at the 87th edition of the Masters Tournament. However, he fell short of their expectations and withdrew from the tournament owing to his injuries. And recently, his ex-girlfriend Lindsey Vonn took a jab at golf, who years ago supported her ex wholeheartedly,

Lindsey Vonn backed up Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods won the 2012 Memorial Tournament. But he did not have a very thrilling start. His then-girlfriend and Olympic gold medalist, Lindsey Vonn, did not give up on him. During a red carpet of the CFDA Fashion Awards in NYC, “Extra’s” AJ Calloway talked to Vonn and asked about her views on Woods’ performance that week. The Olympic skier defended her boyfriend and said, “Oh, come on, he had one bad week. Give him a break, all right?“

Calloway asked if everything would go fine or not. Vonn was cool and calm. She replied with confidence, “We’re not broken up. Things are all good, okay? We just had a bad week.” Skier added, “It’s not the US Open. The US Open is in like in a week and a half.” She asked his fans to calm down and have patience. “ We’re all good. All right. Everyone just chill out, everybody just calm down, right,” Vonn prompted. Calloway asked her if she was going to see the event live.

Woods finished the Memorial Tournament at nine-under par. Which was two strokes better than Rory Sabbatini and Andres Romero. He shot a five-under 67 on Sunday, which was also tied for the day’s lowest round. However, this was GOAT’s second victory of the season, fifth in the Memorial, and 73rd overall in the PGA. The pro golfer overcame a penalty of four strokes on the last day to win the Memorial for the second time in the previous four years. He proved Vonn right then. But the tables turned in all these years, and now her words are different.

Vonn takes a jab at Woods

The Olympic gold medalist recently appeared on the popular podcast Dear Chelsea. In the episode that aired on April 6th, host Chelsea Handler took a question from a fan. Generally on podcasts, only guest and host talk, but here it was different. A fan named Miranda, who is a golfer, asked about dealing with men and their sexist comments. Handler connected the line with Vonn and asked if she was interested in answering.

 The ski star acknowledged and said she had experienced some. But she also asked a shocking question to Miranda. Vonn wanted to know why the fan chose to pursue golf, when better options were available. “Also the question is like, why golf? I feel like there could be a better sport, no?” Being the ex-girlfriend of a great golfer, her jibe on the sport was unexpected. Earlier she was all in for Woods, but now the seasons have changed.
