Tiger Woods, 37 and US Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn are now in a relationship. They announced their new-found love on Facebook, posting the first pictures of themselves together.
There were rumours that former world number one golfer was making efforts to reunite with his ex-wife, Swedish model Elin Nordegren, but it seems the relationship was irreconcilable.

Woods and Nordegren divorced in 2010 after he revealed a series of extramarital affairs.
It is believed that Nordegren is dating billionaire, Chris Cline.
According to The BBC’s David Willis in Los Angeles, Woods hardly ever discusses his private life, and the announcement and pictures may be a way of preventing the paparazzi from pursuing the couple in pursuit of a lucrative first photograph.

The BBC reports:
‘Evolved from friendship’
Woods wrote on his Facebook page: “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.”
Writing on her own page, Ms Vonn said: “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.”
Ms Vonn, 28, is regarded as one of the premier skier of her generation, having won gold at the 2010 winter Olympics and several world championships.
Her season was recently cut short by a knee injury, however.
