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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
