However, there is one more thing that has been unstable in Woods’ life- his relationships. It has been some time since Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn broke up. But there was a time when Vonn could easily count the similarity between her boyfriend and herself.

But there was a time when the two were visibly happy with each other.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Vonn said, “We just are happy,” while the two were still seeing each other. “We’re similar. We’re both at the top of our sports, and we relate really well to each other,” she said. She even talked about how the two were not really that apart from each other. The most interesting part about Woods and Vonn being in a relationship was that both of them were the best in their fields. And the best part was that both of them could easily relate to each other’s lifestyles and work schedules.
