Tiger Woods: Lindsey Vonn Wants To Be Known As More Than Just Golfer's Girlfriend

Olympic ski champ Lindsey Vonn doesn’t want to just be known as Tiger Woods’ girlfriend.

“Some people seem to forget that I’m not just Tiger’s girlfriend," Vonn told the New York Times. “I’m actually a successful athlete. I’m Lindsey. I have my own career and my own life.”

Just the same, the Times reports Vonn has virtually become a fixture on the PGA Tour, often appearing side-by-side with the world’s top golfer as he competed in such events as the Masters, the Players Championship, the Memorial and, just last week, the U.S. Open. The two have also appeared together at a number of other public events including a red carpet event in New York.  

Still recuperating from ACL surgery, Vonn added most things in her life have remained the same since she began dating Woods but admitted “something like going out to dinner is next to impossible. Unless he wore a wig, I think he’d be recognized anywhere.”

Overall, Vonn, 28, added she’s “very happy” and thinks “things are going great.”  When asked if she’s committed to Woods, she smiled “I’m at a golf tournament aren’t I? When was I ever at golf tournaments before? I kind of like him; can you tell?”
