‘I love it!’: Lindsey Vonn enjoying life as Tiger Woods’ girlfriend

Alleged serial adultery apparently doesn’t faze Lindsey Vonn.

The world-class skiier is very pleased with her new beau Tiger Woods, who has become known as much for philandering with women while being married as his historic golfing feats.

“There’s really nothing about him that bothers me,” Vonn told People. “He doesn’t even leave the seat up! It’s awesome.”

Vonn finalized her divorce with Thomas Vonn in January. Woods and Erin Nordegren have been divorced for three years now. Tiger has struggled in the major PGA tournaments, but has won five other tournaments this year.

Vonn, meanwhile, is on the comeback trail from a nasty skiing crash in February leading to a knee injury. The most decorated female ski racer in American history is trying to get back into her groove in time for the 2014 Winter Olympics in February.

Woods will accompanying here to the Games in the Russian city of Sochi.

“We’re going to see how his schedule goes, but he’s hoping to come,” she says. “He’s kind of a fish out of water in the cold weather. It’s going to be really cute!”

Vonn told USA Today that she and Woods are “really competitive with everything, ping pong, tennis and whatever.” Vonn says she typically is the loser in those battles, but bests her boyfriend in one thing.

“The hand slapping game,” Vonn said with a laugh. “I’ve got better reflexes and better balance.”

As for the overall picture, Vonn says she as happy as ever.

“I went from being married to living on my own in L.A., to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent,” she adds. “It’s awesome. I love it!”
