Tiger Woods has confirmed he’s in a “very close” personal relationship with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. Rumors had swirled about the pair’s friendship for months, intensifying in February when the golf superstar, 37, sent his private plane to pick up Vonn, 28, after she suffered a knee injury on the slopes. This week, Woods went public on Twitter and Facebook, sending photos of himself and Vonn to his 6 million followers. “We want to continue our relationship, privately,” he wrote. Woods was divorced in 2010 after an epic infidelity scandal, while Vonn divorced her longtime coach and husband in January.
