Lindsey Vonn bares it all about estranged relationship with Tiger Woods, calls it a 'learning experience'
Golfer Tiger Woods has been in news lately mainly due to his love affairs rather than his sport. The golfer is back in news as his ex-flame Lindsey Vonn has called the relationship a “learning experience,” according to an interview.
Vonn came out in the open months after splitting from her boyfriend of three years, Tiger Woods, during an interview with the New York Times. The alpine ski racer on the U.S. Ski Team also praised the relationship with the formerly scandalized golfer in the interview.
The duo started dating in March 2013 and decided to part ways mutually in May this year. However, the breakup led to the speculations of Woods going back to being infidel. The couple started dating after Woods ended his 7-year old marriage with Elin Nordegren over reports of his multiple illegitimate affairs that started flooding in late 2009.
“So jumping into a relationship right away after getting a divorce was probably not the smartest move on my part. I don’t regret anything. I loved Tiger, and I had an amazing three years with him. But it was a learning experience as well. With every relationship, you learn what you need and what you want in a partner,” Vonn recalled the time she spent with Woods.
Vonn was previously married to her coach Thomas Vonn, who she revealed was her first boyfriend, and divorced in 2013. The 31-year old Olympic champion revealed that she is currently single and believes that “you need one of those to start a family.”
Vonn shifted to her new Vail house last year after spending many years in condos or residence hotels.
Talking about her professional commitments, Vonn will compete in World Cup giant slalom in Aspen on Nov. 28, which will be her first race this year. She took some time off after her knee injury and in the meantime she establish an all-girls youth development foundation in her name.
“So I’m back, and I’m not nervous anymore or feeling pressure. I’m just 100 percent out there to win races, and that is a cool position to be in,” a confident Vonn said.
