‘I’m Still a Little Bit Old School’: Ex-Girlfriend Lindsey Vonn Once Convinced a Skeptical Tiger Woods to Embrace His Online Presence

Tiger Woods is a golf legend; people admire his technique and consistency. But this legend is not much of a social media person. In 2013, this was the talk of the town where the former No. 1 was not active on Twitter despite his enormous following.

Woods’ then-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, motivated him to be more active on Twitter, but Woods had his reasons.

Tiger Woods and his social media presence

It was 2013 when Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn were still dating. The Olympic skier had about 253,790 followers then, and she was pretty active on Twitter. But Woods did not speak or tweet much, even though he had about 3.7 million followers. His ex-girlfriend was much more involved than him.

Woods was at Sherwood Country Club in 2013 for the charity golf tournament. There he said that Vonn had hinted to him to be more active and tweet more often than he did. But he mentioned that his surroundings had been different growing up. He said that he was trying even though he was skeptical about it. But he would tweet more, eventually. Woods said, “I’m kind of getting towards it, but still not quite grasping the whole concept yet.”

Woods and Vonn – supporting each other

Woods and Vonn were a power couple in the sports world when they were dating. Vonn has been a supportive partner, and even today, they are on good terms with each other and maintain their friendship. Woods being more active would have given him more leverage in the world going digital, and as a legendary athlete, he should be on Twitter. And hence, Vonn nudged him. But this wasn’t the only case.

Vonn’s support was visible in 2015, too. The couple split up in May 2015, but Vonn also stood by his side after the breakup. It was August 2015 when Woods had a rough patch in his career. Vonn hosted a 15-minute question-answer session on Twitter, and she was also asked many questions regarding Woods. One of which was noteworthy. Her follower asked, “do u think Tiger will win again?” To which her reply was very direct and confident. She replied, ‘he will!”
