Tiger Woods is a resounding name in the world of golf. The most precious jewel of his career is four consecutive major championship wins, thus, making him the only man to accomplish such a feat in this modern era.

Lindsey Vonn is one of only six women to have triumphed in all five alpine skiing World Cup events. At the time of her retirement in 2019, she held the record for the most victories in women’s World Cup races with 82.

Woods and Vonn met at a charity event in Vegas in 2012. They had been friends for a very long time, and their mutual love of sports helped their friendship develop into something more.

She continued, “In a sport in which many guys warm up by smoking a cigar, where you might assume that you don’t really need to stay fit. Tiger says he wants to be fitter than all the others, that’s his way.”
