http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/vonn-announces-she-and-woods-have-split/ [QUOTE]Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are no longer a couple. Both Woods and Vonn released separate statements Sunday saying that they have mutually decided to split up after nearly three years of dating. “I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I’ll always cherish our time together," Woods wrote in a statement on his website. "She has been amazing with Sam and Charlie and my entire family. “Unfortunately, we lead very hectic lives and are both competing in demanding sports. It’s difficult to spend time together.” [/QUOTE] They were doing this: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/65592/tiger-and-lindsey-vonn-are-dating layout=block][/CONTENTEMBED] They were apparently never doing this: [CONTENTEMBED=/t/80062/tiger-woods-and-lindsey-vonn-getting-married layout=block][/CONTENTEMBED]

Reminds me a lot of Rory-Wozniaki. I think Wozniaki took away some of Rory's playing and practice time away just like Vonn took away some of Tiger's practice time. It's no coincidence that over the last two months Tiger's done nothing but practice his tail off and now the two are breaking up. Sometimes when you're a star and you're dating another "star", it's hard to commit to one thing.

I actually think this is a good thing for "Tiger the golfer". Look for him to now pay more attention to golf and I expect very good results going forward. Tiger will now be a much more focused player much like Rory was after his breakup.

If I remember Rory dumped Wozniaki over the phone,

Quote:
The paper said McIlroy “called off his engagement with Caroline Wozniacki by telephone.” It also reported the call came “less than a day after telling her how much he loved her, it was three-minute conversation she thought was a joke.”

To me this sounds like a mutual separation and doesn't seem anything like the Rory and Wozniaki break.

I do agree it does seem a bit auspicious that Tiger wants to ramp up his summer schedule and he might think it best, or heck maybe it is Vonn who wanted more and Tiger would not bend his schedule to compromise.

Either way it might be a good sign for Tiger's golf game.

It's got to be tough to be such a public figure that you have to release a statement to update everyone about ending a relationship. Best of luck to both of them.

Y'all are totally off. Woods is pissed about what she said about golf on Fallon. :-)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Lindsey found one too many Perkins receipts in Tiger's pockets?

Decision was mutual. Seeing as how her hubby cheated on her I do not think she would agree to say it was mutual if he was cheating on her. Give me a break pal.

And all you ever post about is Tiger practically. That stuff is common knowledge. What do I know? Vonn had her first husband cheat on her and was vocal about Tiger negatively back in 2009.

Time demands for athletes of their caliber has to be immense so it's not a surprise that it didn't work out.  I think they'd both like to have someone supportive around them all time while they are in training and that's not possible unless one of them gives up their career.  I wish them both the best.

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
