Tiger Woods surprises Lindsey Vonn at finish line with missing tooth (PHOTO)

Tiger Woods was sporting a toothy smile when he surprised Lindsey Vonn following her winning run in Cortina D'Ampezzo — a record-breaking 63rd World Cup victory on Sunday.

Too bad that full set of choppers belonged to a skeleton-covered scarf he was wearing during the competition and his own set of pearly whites was short a tooth.

After Vonn's winning run, Woods, who was supposed to be practicing for his return to competition at the Phoenix Open, surprised Vonn by showing up at the finish area and revealing a noticeable gap in his mouth when he removed the spooky-looking scarf.

Vonn, who had no idea that the world's former No. 1 golfer was coming to Northern Italy, shared an emotional embrace with a harder looking Woods after he forced his way through the crowd unnoticed.

"No way!' Vonn exclaimed when she spotted him.

Earlier photographs show that Woods' tooth was discolored, raising the possibility that he is having it replaced.

Vonn tied the record of 62 victories when she won a downhill here Sunday.

"I'm so happy to have finished the weekend with win No. 63. My family and Tiger is here. It's a really, really special day," she said.

Woods' reps had no comment about the missing Tiger's tooth.

Tiger, Elin and Lindsey all hang out together: Report

Recovering from surgery might prevent Tiger Woods from working on his golf game, but from the looks of this photo, the down time is doing wonders for his family life.

It wasn't too long ago Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren was railing against Woods' new girlfriend Lindsey Vonn cozying up to their two children — and we knew how she felt about the cheating golfer.  

Now this threesome seems pretty cozy together. 

According to TMZ,  that's exactly how it went at a tee ball game in Florida this past weekend — where Tiger and Elin came together to support their son Charlie, who was playing with the 5 and 6-year-old group. 

The threesome sat together in the stands — and while Tiger placed himself between Lindsey and Elin, we're told they all appeared civil ... even friendly at times, said the gossip site.

And it doesn't stop there. They have reportedly started going on double dates along with their respective new partners — including Nordegren's billionaire boyfriend Chris Cline, said Us Weekly.

A little awkward maybe — but it's a scenario that's no doubt making life easier for the kids.

Lindsey Vonn won't be working as NBC commentator at Winter Games: Report

First, NBC lost Lindsey Vonn's wide television appeal on the slopes, now they have lost the dazzling Olympic skier's same appeal in the booth.

The knee injury that cost Vonn a spot on the U.S. ski team is also preventing her heading to Sochi to take part in NBC's coverage of the games. 

The network had approached the gold-medal winning downhill skier about joining its team of commentators in Russia next month, but her injury has left her unable to travel, reported The Sporting News.

Jim Bell, executive producer of NBC's Olympic coverage, said the network first approached Vonn about joining the booth when they heard she was unable to compete in Sochi.

"I don’t think she is going to be able to travel," Bell said Thursday, adding that they had been "in discussions" about a possible stateside role for the 29-year-old skier.

Vonn, the first American woman to win gold in the downhill skiing, underwent major surgery to repair her anterior cruciate ligaments 11 months ago. She aggravated the same injury at the end of last year, during a training session in Colorado, and again in December in France.

"I am devastated to announce that I will not be able to compete in Sochi," Vonn, who dates golfer Tiger Woods, said in a statement earlier this month. 

"I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level."

Vonn would arguably have been the biggest star at the Games, but Bell said the network wasn't too concerned about losing the popular Olympic medalist.

"There are plenty of established stars to go round, like Shaun White," he told Deadline.

"And there are always the unknowns. No one knew [who] the gymnasts were, but they became stars," he added, talking about the U.S. gymnasts at the London 2012 Games. Bell said NBC didn't expect to match its ratings for the 2010 Vancouver Games because of the time difference between the U.S. and Russia.

And there's still Lolo Jones.

The Winter Olympics are being held from February 6th to the 23rd, with the Opening Ceremony scheduled for February 7. 

Vonn on Tiger: 'I decide what happens in my life'

Tiger Woods may be the man in charge on the golf course but — when it comes to his relationship with Lindsey Vonn off the links, he should know one thing— nobody messes with the strong-willed Olympic skier.

Looking back at the important men in her life — like her father, ex-husband and Tiger — Vonn told the sports magazine The Red Bulletin that she's her own person.

"Tiger is a strong character, but I decide what happens in my life," proclaimed Vonn. "Even Tiger isn’t going to change that." 

Vonn admitted her golfer boyfriend does help make her a better competitor though.

"A better athlete, I would say, yes. One example: I wouldn’t say I’m unprofessional, but the consistency that Tiger shows in his professionalism – wow. No one has any idea how hard Tiger works. Tiger says he wants to be fitter than all the others, that’s his way. So he pushes himself a lot further than he perhaps needs to, and to see that pushes me in turn. The other unbelievable thing about Tiger is his mental toughness. There were moments in golf tournaments where I said to myself, 'Okay, Lindsey, this is the next level of self-confidence, concentration, control. When you make it to this level, it will make you a better skier.'"

The 2010 Olympic downhill champ, has hit the slopes again after injuring a knee to see if she’s healthy enough to compete in February’s Olympics. The mag's photo spread proves Vonn's back in top shape.

Vonn goes on to say she tries not to think about the accident that sidelined her during the Alpine World Ski Championships in February. She has, however, watched it "a few times" on YouTube. "I wanted to know if it looked the way it felt," she says, noting that seeing it again made her "pissed."

"It looked exactly the way it felt," she explains. "My right ski came to a stop in the soft snow, my lower leg twisted to the right, my body fell over my knee, which dislocated."

There is a silver lining to her story, however: taking a break from training gave Vonn a better understanding of her body's limitations. "Before, I could always push my way through injury, but I couldn't this time. For the first time I had an injury which was greater than my will," she tells the magazine.

"In the first three weeks that was extremely hard to accept. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't go get a coffee. I could only sit. There was no pushing—only waiting."

Tiger and Lindsey join Mile High crowd at Chiefs-Broncos game

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn joined the crowd at Mile High on Sunday night. The sports world's most famous couple was spotted on the Denver Broncos' sideline at Sports Authority Field before the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Before the AFC West rivals kicked off on "Sunday Night Football," Vonn and Woods could be seen chatting with John Elway at the big ticket game.

Vonn was in her element but has anyone ever looked as uncomfortable in a ski cap and parka as Woods does?

Lindsey Vonn finds cracks in Tiger Woods' sinking home

Tiger Woods might have finally fixed the cracks in his once-slumping golf game but it was his new girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn — along with the golfer — who found them in his Florida home. And we're talking physical breaks in the house and not in their budding relationship.

While Woods is busy sinking putts to earn his first major win in more than five years this weekend at the PGA Championship, his Jupiter mansion may be getting swallowed up by the sandy Florida soil.

An insider tells Gossip Extra exclusively that Woods' current gal Vonn noticed cracks in walls and doors rubbing on the ground, sure signs of trouble in the future.

According to public records in Martin County, Woods is having a contractor shore up his 10,000-square-foot modern crib. 

"This sort of thing occurs quite a bit in Florida," Skip Barrett of South Coast Foundation Systems said. 

"In Florida, the soil has layers of organic matter that eventually decomposes. Once that happens, many homes start sinking."

A contractor is about to attempt to stabilize the structure by inserting giant screws called “helical piles” as far as 24 feet into the ground that cost an estimated $1,000 apiece. 

The site says a home the size of Tiger’s would require 15 of the piles, but fortunately Woods won $1.5 million at last week’s Bridgestone Invitational, so that shouldn't put a dent in the couple's budget plans.

Woods' ex-wife Elin thinks Vonn is 'a good influence on Tiger'

The womance between Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren and his new squeeze Lindsey Vonn is back on ... again.

After her on again-off again support of her philandering ex-husband's relationship with Vonn, Nordegren  has given Woods’ relationship with the Olympic skier her blessing, sources told Page Six of The New York Post.

The gossip column reports that Nordegren “really likes Lindsey and thinks she is a very good influence on Tiger.”

Nordegren, who had two children with Woods, famously dumped him after his affairs with dozens of women.

Woods is now dating the blond-haired Vonn, after meeting her at a charity event in 2012. Now, Nordegren has given their relationship the okay.

Sources tell The Post the former model believes her ex “seems happy with Lindsey, and she gets on well with their children.”

Nordegren — who reportedly received a $100 million divorce settlement from Woods — is happily dating billionaire coal-mining entrepreneur Chris Cline, and constructing a $12 million home in North Palm Beach, Fla.

Meanwhile, Vonn opened up about her relationship with Woods in Vogue’s August issue, admitting: “We immediately clicked, you know? It was just one of those things.” Though they’ve been inseparable since meeting, Lindsey, who divorced her skiing coach Thomas Vonn in 2012, says she’ll never wed again. “No, thanks! I am definitely not getting married. To anyone,” she said.

Vonn explained: “It’s very hard for me to relate to someone who doesn’t do sports at a high level. That part is necessary. But to have business in the relationship is very difficult. It definitely did not work for me, and I would not recommend it. I would also not recommend getting married!”

Vonn is training for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, and rebounding after knee surgery following a frightening crash on the slopes during the world championships in Austria.

Woods is in Scotland competing in the British Open.

Vonn a one-woman cheering section for Tiger during British Open practice

Lindsey Vonn braved the chilly Scottish air and watched boyfriend Tiger Woods practice before the British Open starts this week at Muirfield Golf Club.

Vonn, still recovering after tearing two knee ligaments in a February ski accident, is quite the one-woman cheering section — she was also on the sidelines at the Masters and US Open.

The high profile couple appear to be stronger than ever and were seen joking around as they walked through the course.

The sports couple went public with their romance in March in a series of corny Facebook photos and have since attended a string of public events, including the Met Ball in May.

As the supportive girlfriend, Vonn took photos, lent support and did everything but carry his clubs. She looked comfortable for the whole round and sat patiently on the side of the 18th green as Woods sank a putt.

Whether on the course or in the water, Vonn also seems to be a hit with Woods and his kids kids, Samantha and Charlie.

The Olympic skier has been seen on school runs and was snapped jet skiing with the kids and their dad over Memorial Day Weekend near the golfer's Florida home.

Elin Nordegren 'hates' Lindsey Vonn, 'angry' at Tiger Woods

Elin Nordegren is not thrilled by ex-husband Tiger Woods' high-profile relationship with his new blond girlfriend and is getting a little catty about the golfer's new relationship, according to reports.

Nordegren, who divorced the golfer in 2010 after his infamous indiscretions, "hates Lindsey Vonn and everything about this romance," said a source, according to Us Weekly.

The world of sports most famous couple went public with their romance in March in a series of cozy Facebook photos and have since attended a string of public events, including the Met Ball in May.

Vonn also seems to be a hit with Nordegren’s kids, Samantha and Charlie. The ski bunny has been seen on school runs and was snapped jet skiing with the kids and their dad over Memorial Day Weekend near the 37-year-old’s Florida home.

The source told Us Weekly that the Swedish former model is "angry Tiger even has visitation rights to the kids."

Woods is allegedly callous about Nordegren’s supposed resentment: "He doesn't care about her. He's so egotistical!"

In March, Nordegren — who is quietly dating her Florida neighbor, billionaire coal magnate Chris Cline — got peeved when she found out Vonn waited in a parking lot while Tiger watched his kid play soccer.

Vonn, meanwhile, recently said things are going great with Woods, although the intense scrutiny on their romance has been "been difficult and interesting . . . But we're dealing with it and we're happy, and that's all that matters."

Lindsey Vonn drug-tested at fashion awards show

For a moment, it must have looked like New York's fashion elite were taking their shows just a little too seriously after Lindsey Vonn was pulled aside to undergo a mandatory drug-test while in a couture gown at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards Monday night.

The Olympic skier — who is training for the 2014 Winter games in Sochi, Russia — was accompanying designer Cynthia Rowley to the high-end awards ceremony (considered the Oscars of New York fashion) at Lincoln Center when representatives from the International Olympic Committee pulled Vonn aside to fill a urine sample bottle— on the spot.

According to The New York Post, sources said that Rowley and the skier — wearing a stunning, custom-made white gown from the designer, were sitting in Alice Tully Hall with other fashion luminaries — including Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and Anna Wintour — when Vonn got a call from the IOC.

Several drug testers were waiting outside Lincoln Center, and told Vonn they needed access to the event to perform a drug test immediately. Rowley met the IOC group outside and ushered them into the hall.

"Lindsay met the IOC at the bathroom. Cynthia stood guard outside, and no one was allowed to enter the bathroom. They were in there for about five minutes," a source told The Post.

We’re told that amidst the glamorous setting, the IOC team made Vonn "pee in a cup" and tested the urine sample on the spot. She passed the test, our source reported, and the IOC staff told her to "have fun."

"Here Lindsey is in this custom-made gown, feeling like Cinderella, and she has to get up and do a drug test," joked one source.

Vonn didn’t seem rattled by it, and said afterwards: "We’re having a great time and [Rowley] did a great job with the dress."

The world champion skier is recovering from a serious knee injury and claims her rehab regimen is going well. "I get to start jumping and running soon, so that’s exciting," she said.

As for whether her boyfriend Tiger Woods is giving her rehab help, Vonn remarked: "He’s obviously been through it so he can relate. It’s good to have a strong support system."

Those little plastic bottles could end being the perfect accessory this season and nothing brings out those bright summer pastels like adding just a touch of yellow.

Quick, someone warn A-Rod to stay away from those Fashion Avenue soirees for the time being.

Tiger and Lindsey jet ski with his kids on Memorial Day vacation

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn continued putting a family-friendly veneer on their relationship as they treated his children to a jet skiing outing while on vacation Monday.

The couple was spotted jet skiing around a lake in Jupiter, Florida, with Woods' four-year-old son Charlie and five-year-old daughter Sam in on the sun and fun. Vonn is the one wearing a skimpy bikini featuring a black bottom and a blue top and dark pair of sunglasses.

The 37-year-old top ranked golfer in the world cruised around the lake with Sam, while Lindsey and Charlie followed on their own jet ski during the Memorial Day outing.

The couple recently were spotted picking up Tiger's children from school in North Palm Beach, Florida in their latest showing of family bonding and the coziness between Tiger's new girlfriend and her kids has angered his ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

She reportedly was furious after photos emerged showing her cheating ex-husband and ski star girlfriend out on his 61-foot yacht, Solitude, with the children.

The former couple allegedly have a clause in their 2010 divorce agreement that they would keep the children away from future partners and out of the press.

Woods’ apparent breech of that agreement has prompted Elin to order her attorneys to find out if the outing on his yacht is grounds for an injunction, according to the National Enquirer.

Maybe she should just be satisfied with her million-dollar settlement and the smiles on the kids' faces.

On the sports front,  it looks like Vonn's knee is coming along just fine.

Lindsey Vonn tied to infamous steroids doctor

An investigation by The New York Daily News reports that Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn has visited the clinic of a 71-year-old doctor named Bernd Pansold — an East German doping doctor who played an instrumental role in the German Democratic Republic's notorious state-sponsored program to dope unwitting young athletes with hardcore anabolic steroids.

Vonn, the clean-cut face of the U.S. Winter Olympics team and an athlete representing Red Bull — the sugary energy drink that has paid her to promote the popular picker-upper since 2005. Each summer the Austrian company organizes a rigorous conditioning program for Vonn, lodging her at an opulent resort hotel near Innsbruck and letting her work out at the Red Bull pro soccer team’s state-of-the-art training facility near the Salzburg airport.

That is the location of Thalgau, a peaceful village on the eastern outskirts of Salzburg, where Red Bull has sent Vonn to its Diagnostics and Training Center, a secure and nondescript old tin-oxide factory that houses a top sports laboratory overseen by Pansold.

It is here where Vonn visited the clinic of the controversial doctor, said the report.

A Daily News investigation of Red Bull’s Thalgau operation has uncovered no evidence of doping by Vonn, who has never failed a drug test. But the mere fact of Vonn’s and Pansold’s mutual access shows how vulnerable today’s Olympic athletes are when the corporate sponsors supplying their income are accountable only to the bottom line.

Tiger Woods got drunk, embarrassed Lindsey Vonn at celebrity after party: Report

Tiger Woods attended the Met Gala inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art with his new girlfriend Lindsey Vonn Monday night. The golfer might have taken the punk rock-themed ball a little too seriously before getting his Sid Vicious on after New York City's biggest social event.

When the star-studded ball was through, Woods and Vonn joined other celebrities at the after-party inside the Boom Boom Room on top of the Standard Hotel in Manhattan — where Woods had a little too much to drink, according to US Weekly.

An insider said, “Tiger looked uncomfortable” as Vonn, the 28-year-old beautiful blond Olympic skier, led him through the crowd.

The couple was reportedly spotted checking out the city’s skyline before taking their seats to enjoy conversation and drinks. Vonn and Woods even reportedly engaged in some PDA, holding hands and kissing for most of the night.

But as the drinks took effect, Woods supposedly got up and danced awkwardly before grabbing Vonn’s butt. She laughed about the affectionate tug but soon became a bit more serious as the night went on.

By 2 a.m., when the couple started to exit the party, Woods apparently fell while attempting to walk up a small flight of steps. According to a witness, his tumble caused him to freeze until a stern-faced Vonn came to his rescue, helping him to his feet and guiding him on their way out. Woods was reportedly swaying a bit after the fall.

The couple made their debut that night on the red carpet at the gala as Vogue’s guests. The magazine even dressed the duo for the occasion with Woods rocking the skinny tie.

Although Woods reportedly had a bit too much to drink at the after-party, Vonn had his back just like good old Nancy Spungen would. After all, they both said their relationship began as a friendship that grew into something more.

At the gala Monday, Woods and Vonn declined to speak with the media, probably due to the questions they’d be asked about the golf pro’s divorce from Elin Nordegren in August 2010 following a cheating scandal.

Lindsey Vonn cheers on Tiger Woods at Masters

Ta-da! It was only a matter of time before Lindsey Vonn made her first public appearance showing support for her new boyfriend Tiger Woods and she couldn't have picked a bigger stage in the golfing world than the first day of The Masters.

The Olympic gold medalist skier, who is recovering from a torn ACL, is following around Woods at Augusta as he goes for his fifth green jacket – and first since 2005. USA Today reported that Vonn was walking slowly, but without a limp. She suffered the injury during a scary fall on the slopes in February.

Woods and Vonn announced their relationship by posting photos on Facebook last month. There had been rumors about the world-class athletes starting to see each other before that, including Woods sending his private plane for Vonn to return home from Austria after surgery.

How the spectacle of Vonn and Woods together will affect the golfer's game remains to be seen.  You know the television networks are loving every moment of it — for now.

Kris Humphries was Lindsey Vonn's 'Bachelor No. 2' right before Tiger

Imagine six foot ten Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries posing next to Lindsey Vonn in those corny Facebook photos announcing her romance to Tiger Woods last week.  It could have happened.

The estranged husband of Kim Kardashian was getting close to Vonn just about the same time Woods was making moves on the Olympic skiing star, reports Us Weekly.

“Woods wasn’t Vonn’s only suitor,” a confidant of Vonn’s told the magazine. “Bachelor No. 2 was none other than Kim Kardashian ex Kris Humphries.”

Too bad for Humphries he didn't have a private jet ... or a 150-foot yacht at his disposal

The source said of the NBA player and the Olympic skier, “They’re both from Minnesota, so they had a lot to talk about” but they never got physical.

Whatever their relationship status the fellow athletes do go back. In June 2012, Humphries tweeted, “Hanging with a fellow Minnesotan @lindseyvonn. Gotta get her back on lake minnetonka soon!”

Vonn replied, “I know! Def need to get back!!”

We all know how the fairy tale romance ended up with Woods claiming Vonn as his own and reclaiming his No.1 ranking in the golfing world to boot.

"He [Woods] confessed everything in his past to her and stuff, the source told the magazine. "They're really into each other."

As for Bachelor No. 2, Humphries has been lingering on the Nets' bench of late while stalling his divorce case from Kim K.

Take your parting gifts from Jim Lange and get out of here.

Nike's Tiger Woods ad 'Winning takes care of everything' has plenty of critics

Tiger Woods' new Nike promo is creating quite a social media storm with its online ad's tagline.  The ad — which has a picture of Woods overlaid with a quote from him, "Winning takes care of everything" — has already garnered over 8,000 likes and 2,000 shares on Facebook but also has its critics, reports The Associated Press.

Woods — who regained his ranking as No.1 golfer in the world Monday — has reportedly used the phrase many times with reporters since 2009 when they asked him about rankings.

The ad, posted on Facebook and Twitter, is supposed to champion the fact that the golfer recovered from career setbacks to take over the the top spot once again after losing it in October 2010.

While many people are congratulating the one-time pariah for his comeback, others are commenting that the ad sends out the wrong message in light of Woods' past marital woes — including the end of his five-year marriage to Elin Nordegren after a serial cheating scandal in 2010.

“Winning takes care of everything.” @tigerwoods, World #1. twitter.com/nikegolf/statu…
— Nike Golf (@nikegolf) March 25, 2013

It’s the latest controversy from the athletic giant's marketing department. Nike recently had to cut ties with cyclist Lance Armstrong and runner Oscar Pistorius due to their own respective scandals.

Critics on Twitter say the ad "sets a bad example for children" and call Woods a "poor choice" for Nike. Or they claim the 36-year-old is rubbing it in their faces after two-and-a-half years of being called over-the-hill.

Nike spokeswoman Beth Gast said that the ad references Wood’s refrain that he competes to win.

“When asked about his goals such as getting back to number one, he has said consistently winning is the way to get there,” she said in an email response to a query. “The statement references that sentiment and is a salute to his athletic performance.”

Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates in New York, said the ad signals that Nike believes it is time Woods — who in addition to his new No. 1 ranking is now in a much-touted relationship with Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn — is back in the spotlight.

“They’re looking at this and saying, ‘Time has passed, he’s winning again, it’s time to turn up the volume on our association,’ " he said. “But it’s risky when you associate with a celebrity only based on winning or losing. Consumers care about how you play the game: both the actual game and the game of life.”

Apparently many people don't see the difference.

Lindsey Vonn stoked about Tiger's resurgence to No. 1

No one was more excited to hear that Tiger Woods reclaimed the title as the No. 1 golfer in the world than his new girlfriend Lindsey Vonn.

The Olympic skier tweeted her feelings on Twitter with more exclamation points than a kid at Christmas.

This could be the beginning of an onslaught of well orchestrated tweets and publicity photos that will flood the media as the serial cheater Woods clings to his top spot and one of America's sweethearts, Vonn, rehabs her way to the 2014 Olympics. A public relations flack couldn't have manufactured it any better because it's perfect for this social media day and age. Or could they?

Number 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
— lindsey vonn (@lindseyvonn) March 25, 2013

It's nice that the new world's top sports couple — Woodsey or Linger to some — thought their simultaneous "outing" of their relationship and prom quality photos last week would curb the paparazzi. But if they think that will hold off the crush of cameras the next time they're together, think again.

Much happiness to the new couple. Let the ickiness begin.

Lindsey Vonn recreated Sharon Stone's famous 'Basic Instinct' leg-crossing scene

Tiger Woods may have the reputation as a scoundrel, but his new girlfriend Lindsey Vonn seems to like playing a little bit of a scamp herself.

A recently unearthed ESPN The Magazine cover photo of Vonn vamping it up as Sharon Stone's character in the famous leg-crossing scene from "Basic Instinct" is making the rounds and is quite a departure from the PG-rated portraits the couple released this week.

The blond Olympic skier donned a replica of the skin-tight white dress for the 2010 photo shoot and looks remarkably like Stone's pantie-less, cigarette puffing moll, Catherine Tramell, from the '90's film that made the sizzling Stone a star — and who gave Newman a gift the mailman could never deliver on Seinfeld.

"By far, the most common comment from my family and friends is just how much I look like Sharon Stone — they said it was uncanny," she said after the cover shoot for the magazine's special movie edition.

It isn't the only time Vonn showed a little skin for a magazine. She was featured in a Sports Illustrated swim suit edition after becoming the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal on the downhill.

Woods went public with Vonn to 'devalue' paparazzi photos

Tiger Woods went public with the sports world's worst kept secret that he was dating Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn on Tuesday to discourage paparazzi looking to make a big buck.

The new high-powered sports couple — Woodsey to some — simultaneously posted messages on their Facebook pages yesterday announcing that they were indeed a couple and dating. Woods included four studio photos of the himself and Vonn smiling like models in the well orchestrated announcement.

Woods, speaking at Bay Hill Club, said being chased by photographers presented a danger to his two children. He believes that by publishing his own pictures of him and his new girlfriend it would foil the paparazzi — who Woods called "stalkarazzi" — from hovering around the couple and trying to get that million-dollar shot.  By releasing his own pictures, the tabloids and "sleazy websites" would not be able to cash in on the lucrative first photos of the couple and would likely make it more worthwhile to pester other celebrities.

A pretty good idea with the PGA tour ready to start as well.

Woods announcement was the first confirmation from him that the two were dating although photos of Vonn being flown back to U.S. from Austria in his private jet after her skiing accident last month and shots of her boarding Woods' yacht last week have been circulating.

It is Woods' first announcement of a relationship since his wife divorced him in 2010.

Vonn hides out in car while Tiger takes in daughter's baseball game

It's just like old times for Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren after the golfer hid his new lady, Lindsey Vonn, from his ex-wife at their daughter's junior baseball game in Jupiter, Florida on Monday.

On the same day that Woods and Vonn confirmed to the world that they were dating, the new couple showed up at young Samantha's ball game.  Vonn reportedly stayed in Wood's black Mercedes for an hour while he watched his daughter play ball, reported The New York Post.  The Post suggested that the Olympic skier was probably trying to avoid an awkward run-in with Woods' ex-wife — who was also at the game.

It's common knowledge that Tiger and the spurned Elin are divorced but maybe, to some cynics, old habits — like keeping women around behind her back — are probably hard for the golfer to break.

The Post reported:

The downhill skier, who was injured after a horrific crash, was reportedly seen sweeping back her blond hair in the front passenger seat as 37-year-old Woods' car pulled away after the game. Her crutches were seen in the back seat. Nordegren, who is dating her older Florida neighbor, billionaire coal magnate Chris Cline, was also reportedly watching the event but sat at the opposite end of the stadium.

Vonn is the golf great’s first serious relationship since 2009, when he was exposed as a serial philanderer. The new couple announced their relationship status in separate Facebook posts and posted a series of pictures worthy of a toothpaste ad.

“Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating,” he wrote.

Just like old times.
