Lindsey Vonn has finally admitted what we all already knew, she is dating Tiger Woods.  Vonn posted the “old news” on facebook saying,

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are Officially a Couple

“I guess it wasn’t a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods. Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy. I don’t plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends. Thank you for understanding and your continued support! xo LV”

At the same time that Vonn revealed the news on Facebook, Tiger Woods also released a statement on the website saying,

“This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. 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.”

The couple didn’t reveal the reason they have finally chosen to go public with the relationship or why Vonn would date someone who cheated on his wife, with too many women to count.

To make the news even odder, the couple posted their status updates with ‘engagement’ like photos.  Maybe to ensure that ‘awwwwww’ moment when people saw the status updates?

Why Tiger and Lindsey have decided to go public via Facebook is a mystery.  Any ideas?
