Taking to her Facebook page, skiing champion Lindsey, 30, posted the following statement:
“After nearly three years together, Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship. I will always cherish the memories that we’ve created together.”
It seems that with golfer Tiger’s hectic completion schedule, in addition to her own, frequently forced them into a long-distance relationship, proved too much for the couple.
“Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart.”
It seems that it was a mutual decision though which ended in respect.
Lindsey continued: “I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.”
Tiger also confirmed the news on his own personal website: “Lindsey and I have mutually decided to stop dating.”
He continued, “I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I’ll always cherish our time together. She has been amazing with Sam and Charlie and my entire family.”
Lindsey’s Facebook message
In spite of declaring, via Vogue that she was “definitely not getting married, to anyone,” Lindsey clearly had a strong affection for the champion golfer, who nursed her through two major knee surgeries.
“I’m not a very patient person. He’s very patient and mentally tough,” she recently shared on the US Today Show.
“He said just be patient, keep working hard, and everything is going to turn around. It really helped me get through it.”
Clearly, Lindsey isn’t shy about sharing her relationship details publicly. She originally also first took to her Facebook page to confirm she and Tiger were a couple, after the pair had been dating for several months.
“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”
