Tiger Woods’ relationship with Lindsey Vonn may not be all that it seems. Sources tell nypost.com their announcement that they are dating “was a carefully crafted p.r. move.”
Woods, 37, and Vonn, 28, confirmed Monday on their Facebook pages that they are seeing each other, then asked for privacy because they want
to live, in Woods’ words, “as an ordinary couple.”
He wrote, “Lindsey and I have been friends for some time,
but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We
thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue
our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as
athletes.”
Their carefully orchestrated announcement was accompanied by
a set of cozy pictures that would slot in perfectly at People magazine.
But a source tells The Post, “Actually it is a match made in
marketing heaven. It immediately makes him more sympathetic, and makes Vonn a
household name as she reaches a crucial point in her skiing career, the 2014 Winter
Olympics. They know the sponsors are watching.”
