Lindsey Vonn Talks About Divorce, Depression and Tiger Woods

Talking to Self, Lindsey Vonn gave some insights into her life, injury, mental health and shacking up with Tiger Woods.

vonnVonn spoke about her divorce

"Getting divorced (last January, from her former coach, Thomas Vonn) was the scariest thing I've ever done," she told the mag. "I'd been dating him since I was 18, and I realized I wasn't happy anymore."

Despite her setback in love, Vonn was able to discover a strength in herself she didn't know she had.

"I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to be on my own, but I found out I am," she continued. "Now I'm in charge of my whole life. It's terrifying - and exciting. It gave me a lot more self-confidence and a greater sense of self-worth."

And a financially greater sense of self worth with Tiger.

"He's helped me stay patient through rehab," she described of Woods' support. "Golf is all about patience -- one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day. He helped me take it one day at a time."

"We're good for each other," Vonn boasted. "I don't know what he's learned from me, to be honest. But we push each other and help each other when we're down."

Vonn also revealed details about her depression.

Vonn is no stranger to feeling down as she's struggled with depression for years, which she now controls with medication.

"I have sad days, but they're rare and the lows aren't as low," she confessed. "(This past year), I've been the happiest I've ever been."

And it looks like if injury does lead to retirement, Lindsey may find a new career battling Tiger.

"We're pretty competitive in everything we do: tennis, Ping-Pong, who wakes up earlier," she described. "I lose more than I win, but I try! He always beats me walking to the car."

That hobble-fest really needs to be televised.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
