Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are dominant athletes whose love lives have been made very public. Vonn's split from P.K. Subban was talked about, as was Woods' high-profile separation from Elin Nordgren, who has infamously made a fortune in the years since.
Years back, Woods and Vonn stole headlines when they began dating one another. People were excited to see where things would go, but the pair didn't last forever.
Now that some time has passed, let's take a look back on the couple, and see if they are still on spelling terms with one another.
Tiger Woods Managed To Repair His Image
The history of golf is a long and storied one that is filled with legendary names that helped shape the game and make it an internationally loved sport. Among those great names is Tiger Woods, one of the most successful and celebrated athletes in history.
Woods rose to prominence as a young golfer with a fiery passion for the sport. It didn't take long for people to see the type of potential he had, and sure enough, Woods was able to start taking home huge prizes while solidifying himself as a genuine star with legitimate mainstream appeal, something many golfers lack.
According to his official bio, "He has 82 PGA TOUR wins, tied with Sam Snead, holding the record for most wins in history. His majors victories include the five Masters Tournaments, four PGA Championships, three U.S. Open Championships, and three British Open Championships. With his second Masters victory in 2001, Tiger became the first golfer ever to hold all four professional major championships at the same time."
Along with mainstream success and major wins came massive endorsements and paychecks. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the golfer is currently worth an estimated $800 million, making him one of the most financially successful athletes in history.
Though Woods was once dominant, he knows that his time on top has since passed.
"As far as climbing the mountain again and getting all the way to the top. I don't think that's a realistic expectation of me," he said in an interview.
There are two sides to this story, and for the other half, we need to shift our attention to another dominant athlete who's put together a spectacular career.
Lindsey Vonn And Tiger Woods Caused Quite The Stir In The Media
Olympian Lindsey Vonn is another popular athlete who was able to break into the mainstream thanks to her incredible success in her respective sport. Much like Tiger Woods, Vonn dominated in her prime, and she was an entire class ahead of her peers on the big stage.
According to Britannica, Vonn "won four women’s World Cup overall championships (2008–10 and 2012) and is the all-time leader in women’s World Cup race victories with 82. She also won three Olympic Winter Games medals and eight world championships medals during her international racing career.
Similarly, Vonn has also done well for herself financially.
Vonn is currently worth an estimated $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Now, back in 2013, fans were taken aback when Woods and Vonn began dating one another. It's not too common to see two dominant athletes link up in a relationship, and its even rarer that each of them boosts this much mainstream appeal.
As you can imagine, people were buzzing about the duo. No one knew how things would play out, but there was optimism that the athletes could make things work in a long and thriving relationship.
After a couple of years, Woods and Vonn called an end to their relationship. It has been quite some time since their split, and people want to know if the pair are still on good terms.
Woods And Vonn Are Still On Good Terms
So, do Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods still speak to one another? In an interview, Vonn shared some details about where they stand now.
Vonn spoke to Entertainment Tonight following Wood's car accident, and she showed support for her former partner.
"We are friends and, of course, I'm happy that he is back and healthy. And, you know, it was a tough time for him So I am just happy that he is back with his kids," Vonn said.
It's not always easy to stay on good terms with an ex, but it's refreshing to see that Woods and Vonn were able to remain somewhat close following their public split from one another.
Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are legends of their sports, and while they didn't work as a couple, they seem to be doing fine as friends.
