Lindsey Vonn started her skiing career at 14. The alpine skier made her professional debut in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Vonn, a three-time Olympic medalist, has a long list of dating history. But her relationship with the Golf player Tiger Woods was most liked by her fans. When they used to be together, they were seen playing golf and other sports. But Lindsey once revealed she used to lose every game to Tiger except one.

Vonn and Tiger were seen playing golf often and hanging out on the golf course.
Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods’ unique game
When Lindsey was dating Woods, she suffered from a knee injury. It happened when Vonn crashed in super-G at Andorra. When she was taken off the field, the experts discovered she had a hairline knee fracture. Later, after the proper checkup, Lindsey found out that she had three significant fractures. So she has to take a break from the World Cup.
Meanwhile, after she recovered from the injury, she used to do a little workout and spend some time with Tiger. In the interview with USA Today, Vonn said she used to play different sports with Tiger. “We’re really competitive with everything, ping pong, tennis, and whatever. I usually lose, which is really depressing,” Vonn said.

She revealed how she used to lose games, but there was one such game she always won. The game was a hand slapping game; Lindsey said, “The hand slapping game, I’ve got better reflexes and better balance.”
Probably Lindsey’s ability to detect changes in surroundings and instantly react — is the reason for her hand-slapping prowess. It seems like skiing has other benefits as well.
Lindsey’s career after her injuries
Vonn also told USA Today that she has been trying her best to return to her snowy mountains. Lindsey said, “I’ve been working so hard for so long to get back. I don’t care what I do as long as I’m on snow. I just want to get back to my job.”

After her injuries, she spent most of her time with her family and Tiger, but nothing satisfied her urge to win on the snow. She said, “Physically, I’m 100% now, I’ve been in the gym far too long. I’m ready to be out in the fresh air.”
