However, did you know that the legendary skier didn’t always have the best opinion about the golfer? She made fun of him publicly!  

Vonn was one of the few athletes to address the scandal Woods had been in, which forced him to get a divorce from his then-wife, Elin Nordegren, in 2010. Notably, the Olympian didn’t show any support to the golfer and instead mocked him without feeling remorse. 

Vonn’s comment on the golfer’s infamous scandal

Woods apologized to his family, friends, and family after a scandal about him broke out in 2009. After giving his statement, he hugged some of his friends standing next to him. “They’re like, ‘Yeah, you’re awesome, you go have that s*x,'” Vonn said after a member of her Vonn-tourage shared the news with her. 

Time.com published her response to the golfer’s scandal through one of their article in 2010. The Olympian also revealed that she would like to host an Saturday Night Live episode in which she would do a skit based on his story.
