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.

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.
