Henrik Stenson takes a jab at Tiger Woods after first round

Henrik Stenson fired a first round 65 and currently holds a share of the lead at 5-under along with Dustin Johnson at the U.S. Open.

He also fired off a little sass.


Stenson, when asked about Chambers Bay's craggy landscape and long fairways, noted that it's a difficult trek over the 18 holes.

"It's a challenging walk. There will be some tired glutes by the end of the week," he quipped — obviously referencing Tiger Woods’ famous line after withdrawing from the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines when he said he just couldn't get his glutes to activate.


Unfortunately Fortunately for Tiger, he might not make it past the cut and can give those backside muscles a break.


It's funny how the once powerful Woods is becoming a source of amusement on the PGA Tour.

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 Woods opening restaurant in Florida next year: Report

Tiger Woods is familiar around courses, but how is the golfer at serving them on a dinner plate? 

We're about to find out if Woods can distinguish a sand wedge from a well ... cheese wedge after he announced Tuesday he is opening a Florida restaurant called The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club next year.

The name alone is a mouthful. So, just a guess, Mulligan's was already taken.

A statement issued by developer Allied Capital and Development of South Florida says the property is still in the works, but is expected to be a 5,900-square-foot restaurant. It's likely to open in early 2015.



Woods said in the statement that he envisions "a place where people can meet friends, watch sports on TV and enjoy a great meal."

"I wanted to build it locally where I live and where it could help support the community," Woods added. 

The restaurant will be located in Jupiter at a new shopping center development called Harbourside, which is set to fully open in October.

The $150 million development will feature an amphitheater, marina, restaurants and shops. Woods claims he's had his eyes on the property for two years.

"I couldn’t be more excited to have Tiger’s new establishment operating within Harbourside Place," Developer Nick Mastroianni told the Palm Beach Post. "It’s gratifying to see the final stages met with support from local, national and international organizations such as Mr. Woods."

The menu isn't prepared yet but, I'm guessing there won't be an Elin Nordegren's Club Sandwich.

Tiger's back, goes off on photographers at British Open (VIDEO)

Tiger Woods is back at the British Open. And so are those pesky photographers clicking away in the background of the Royal Liverpool GC.



Woods,  in his first major since returning from back surgery, shot a 69 in the first round Thursday — good enough for eighth when he had finished his round. But he got a little teed off when the photographers started snapping away.

Just like old times, Tiger.

Masters ratings take big dip from 2013: Report

Not even the possibility of seeing 20-year-old Jordan Spieth make golf history at the 2014 Masters could lure a big television audience with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson not in the field.

Without Woods or Mickelson or any late-round drama, the ratings for the Masters last weekend predictably took a dive from the year before.

The final round on Sunday — when Bubba Watson beat Spieth and Jonas Blixt by three shots to win his second career green jacket in three years — got a 7.8 rating, down from the 10.2 that the Masters got on Sunday in 2013.

That's 24 percent down from last year’s Masters finale — when Adam Scott beat Angel Cabrera in a high-drama playoff.



This past Sunday had plenty of potential for a big finish on the front nine, but it was the back nine that dragged on as Watson improved his lead while the youngster Spieth made some bogeys and found water on the par-3 12th.

The ratings for the third round were also down from 2013, landing a 4.4 compared to the 6.3 that the third round received a season ago.

It's easy to say the absence of Tiger or the missed cut by Phil kept the casual viewer away, but it boils down to the fact that the final couple hours of Sunday's round was about as exciting as a trip to a Waffle House.

Tiger Woods started day by hitting two fans, signing gloves (GIF)

Maybe if spectators were golf holes, Tiger Woods would have shot a little better than a 78 at the World Golf Championships in Doral, Florida Sunday.

Woods bloodied a spectator after hitting him in the head with opening tee shot... and then hit another man minutes later on the 3rd hole. The struggling golfer apologized to both men and sent them both home happy with autographed golf gloves.

Hey. It's Tiger Woods.


A German tourist was enjoying the final round Sunday when Woods' opening tee shot landed squarely on his head, spurting blood over his white polo shirt.




"And I get this souvenir," the fan said, smiling as he held up the ball.

"Sorry about that,"  Woods replied before handing him the signed glove.



But minutes later the exact same thing happened again, forcing Woods to hand over a second signed glove with another apology.

Running out of gloves seems to be the least of Tiger's problems these days.

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.

Tiger Woods’ half-brother arrested in Phoenix bomb threat ‘joke’ 

The half-brother of golf superstar Tiger Woods is in the rough after he called in a fake bomb threat to the Arizona building where he works.

Cops busted Earl Dennison Woods Jr. on charges of using an electronic device to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass others after he allegedly called his Phoenix workplace, the Department of Economic Security, to say he had a bomb and was going to blow it up on Thursday, KNXV-TV reported.

About 100 employees were evacuated after the call came in around 8:30 a.m.



Cops collared the 58-year-old Woods after he admitted to the threat, saying he made the call “as a joke.” He has since apologized and is reportedly cooperating with police.


Woods and his famous younger half-brother, Tiger, share the same father, Earl Woods Sr.

The blood relatives reportedly have little contact but Earl Woods Jr.’s daughter Cheyenne Woods is following in her uncle’s golf cleats. The 23-year-old turned pro last year and is on the Ladies European Tour.

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?


Vonn tweeted her home team sentiments as the Broncos went on to victory.

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.

British press rips Rory McIlroy for 'brain dead' comment

It's hard to believe any professional athlete woke up for Friday's morning coffee and wanted nothing more than to sic the dog on the paperboy more than Rory McIlroy when he saw the headlines.

Kate and William's royal bundle of joy can't come soon enough for the slumping Irishman.

The Fleet Street tabloids jumped all over the golfer's "brain dead" comments after a poor round at Muirfield and roasted McIlroy on the front pages in big, bold print.



After Thursday's dismal round of 79 at the British Open, McIlroy immediately took responsibility for his poor play that featured three three-putts, one putt off a green and into a bunker, two double bogeys, and countless exasperated looks. The world’s No. 2 player — winner of the PGA Championship last summer — must contend not for the Claret Jug, but for the right to play the weekend.

"I wish I could tell you what's wrong or what I need to do to make it right. I feel like I've got the shots. I know I'm capable of hitting them. It's a matter of being in the right place mentally to do it. It's nothing to do with technique. It's all mental."



Then he took it a step further:

"I just need to concentrate. But sometimes I feel like I'm walking around out there and I'm unconscious. I need to try to think more. I'm trying to focus and trying to concentrate. I can't really fathom it. It's a very alien feeling. It's something I've never felt before."

And finally he commented on his putt into a bunker on Thursday:

"It's so brain dead. Seriously, I feel like I've been walking around like that for the last couple of months. I'm trying to get out of it. It's something I've never experienced before."

The British tabloids are always going to sensationalize McIlroy like they did with their front pages today.

But even despite the bad ink, at least the 24-year-old remained honest about his current plight.

Could you imagine Tiger Woods handling it this way?

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.

Garcia claims he left apology note for Tiger in U.S. Open locker

The day after Sergio Garcia sought out Tiger Woods on the Merion driving range to speak about the racially-stereotyped “fried chicken’’ comment he made last month, the Spaniard left a hand-written note of apology in Woods’ locker.

“Yeah, I did leave him a note, a handwritten note,’’ said Garcia about the Dear Tiger letter on Tuesday. “Hopefully he can take a look at it and … read the note and he's happy with that.

“Obviously we saw each other (Monday) on the range (and) I was hoping to meet him after the round, but he was gone after the round,’’ Garcia went on. “The weather obviously didn't help (closing the course in the afternoon). This morning I was here early (and) I didn't see him around.

“The first time I saw him was on the range. I felt like it wasn't the appropriate place to, for me to (apologize) there out of respect to him and to the other players to do it there, so I was hoping to see him afterwards. Unfortunately, when I got done practicing he was gone already. He considers the matter closed. He's moved on and I'm happy that he feels that way, so hopefully we can do the same thing.’’



When Woods met with reporters, about three hours before Garcia did, he did not indicate that he had gotten any sort of apology from Garcia.

Asked Tuesday if Garcia’s comments were discussed on Monday during the handshake seen around the golf world, Woods said, “No, we didn't discuss anything. He just came up and said, ‘Hi,’ and that was it.

Asked if Garcia apologized, Woods said, “No,’’ adding, “It's already done. We've already gone through it all. It's time for the U.S. Open and we tee it up in two days.’’

Asked again if he’s gotten any personal apology from Garcia, Woods said, “No, we haven't had time for that.’’

Garcia handled himself with poise and humility on Tuesday, clearly still bothered by the incident, he was contrite.



“I'm obviously a little bit nervous, there's no doubt about that,’’ Garcia said. “But like (Woods) said … he considers it closed deal. That obviously means a lot to me.’’

Garcia, too, sounded relieved that the fans at Merion are putting the episode behind them, saying there has been no heckling.

“The people around these last couple of days have been amazing,’’ he said. “They have been very, very supportive. So that gives me a lot of good feelings.’’

Garcia also conceded that he’s been “very worried about the whole situation.’’ His major sponsor, TaylorMade/adidas, indicated in the aftermath of his comments that the company might reevaluate its relationship with the golfer.

Get ready for wicker baskets at US Open

Don't look for any flags at the top of the pins at Merion this week — as the US Open returns to the Philadelphia course for the first time since 1981 — look for baskets.

Every pin on the East Course, opened in 1912 and the shortest used for a major since 2004, is topped with a colorful wicker basket rather than a flag.



The exact origin of the idea remains a bit of a mystery and the identity of the person who makes them is kept a secret. But course designer Hugh Irvine Wilson, a mysterious Scottish immigrant who returned to his homeland and England for inspiration, is reported to have liked the look of shepherds' staffs while on his scouting trip.

The baskets, red on the front nine and orange on the back, are taken in every night to stop them being stolen and every player who wins at Merion is presented with one.



Of the four previous US Opens to be staged at the venue, three used the baskets with the exception being in 1950 when Ben Hogan won to complete the comeback from a head-on car crash that almost killed him 16 months earlier.

Olin Dutra won in 1934, Lee Trevino in 1971 and David Graham in 1981.

The baskets, featured in the club logo, can be clearly seen no matter which way the wind is blowing but they give no indication of the strength and direction it is blowing by the green.  And, with a scarcity of trees near the greens at Merion, figuring out the wind gusts will prove difficult for the caddies.

Tiger Woods' caddie Joe Lacava told USA Today: "It's obviously different. It will be fun. But as a caddie, I won't say it's more difficult but we do use the flags to determine where the wind is up around the greens. It's a hindrance but I think it's neat and cool.

"We'll have to use the trees a little bit more, the wind charts, throwing up a lot of grass. We'll do a lot of things, but at the same time I like to think we'll get it figured out."

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.

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.
