Lindsey Vonn isn’t very convincing when she says she loves golf
Though she may be Tiger Woods’ girlfriend, skiing great Lindsey Vonn does not have the Golf Bug.
Appearing on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Vonn was asked if she enjoys Woods’ sport. She was very diplomatic, although completely unconvincing.
“I love golf,” Vonn said through pursed lips, drawing laughter from Meyers and the audience.
Meyers tried to draw a comparison between the speed of downhill skiing to a golf tournament. Vonn tried to volley back, but couldn’t come up with anything positive, so she repeated, “I just love golf.”
She added, “(A round of golf) is like five hours,” nodding her head. “That’s a long time.”
The talk-show host wanted to prop up his guest for her willingness to subject herself to watching a sport she doesn’t seem to like all that much.
“You’re a very good girlfriend,” he said.
Vonn agreed, smiling and saying, “I am.”
