Tiger Woods' sordid past continues to get attention.
The golfer's ex-wife, Swedish stunner Elin Nordegren, and his ex-girlfriend, skier Lindsey Vonn, were kept apart from each other during the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Nordegren and Vonn have been friendly toward each other in the past, but party organizers during Derby weekend were told not to seat them near each other, according to Page Six. While the two crossed paths on Friday, organizers did their best to keep them away from each other.
"The staff was being told over a walkie-talkie that Lindsey was on her way over and must be put in a different area from Elin," a source told the publication. "They were very clear about that."
Vonn, who had some difficulty getting in after being issued the wrong wristband, didn't want her picture taken during the party, according to the report. She also was placed with her girlfriends very far away from where Nordegren was.
A representative of Vonn said the women are on "great terms," while another source told the site "Elin really liked Lindsey because the kids really liked her," adding that any attempt to avoid each other was a way to steer clear of a media whirlwind.
After his marriage to Nordegren fell apart amid the golfer's rampant infidelity, Woods dated Vonn from March 2013 to May 2015. Their relationship reportedly ended over the skier's fears that Woods' sordid past behavior of not having the ability to be loyal to one woman was creeping up again.
Woods and Nordegren have two children together, Sam and Charlie. Though Vonn and Woods' romance came to an end, she still appears to be on good terms with the golf legend and even recently praised his skiing skills.
"I haven't skied with very many celebrities," Vonn told TMZ Sports last month. "Tiger Woods was a pretty good skier though."
Vonn has recently been romantically linked to "Vikings" star Alexander Ludwig, but she denied anything beyond being in the friend zone at this point.
"No, we're just friends," Vonn told TMZ Sports. "I just don't know him that well, so we'll see. I'm pretty open-minded, but you never know."
Despite her claims, she was spotted out on a second date with Ludwig, so it's possible a romance is brewing.
It seems no matter what she does, the Olympic skier can't get out from under the shadow of her past relationship with Woods.
