Lindsey Vonn doesn’t want to talk about her break up with Tiger Woods
Lindsey Vonn doesn’t want to talk about it anymore.
The champion skier was asked in a Wednesday news conference how her break up with Tiger Woods, which she first announced Sunday before a separate confirming statement from the golfer, would affect her performance.
“I don’t really want to talk about my personal life,” Vonn said in South Korea, where she was accepting an appointment as an honorary ambassador for the 2018 Winter Olympics. “I think I said everything in my Facebook post. I will just leave it at that.”
The 30-year-old Vonn hopes to win an Olympic gold medal in three years after missing the ’14 Games in Sochi with an injury. Vonn previously credited Woods for being instrumental in her recovery.
For his part, Woods did not dodge a question about the break up on Tuesday at The Players. The 39-year-old said he had three sleepless nights approaching the nine-year anniversary of his father Earl’s death. He added that the breakup with Vonn made matters worse.
“Obviously it does affect me,” he said. “It is tough. There’s no doubt. I’m not going to lie about that.”
