Gee, wonder what kind of questions Tiger Woods will get this week at Bay Hill?

Woods just used his Facebook page to confirm what had been rumored for a while. He and skier Lindsey Vonn are a thing.

Woods, though, did bury the lead with this post. It’s still about the golf:

This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes.

Respect their privacy? Not likely.

The timing is interesting. I expect Woods decided to make this announcement because somebody else was about to break it, and/or had pictures of the couple together. Or Vonn might just be at Bay Hill this week to watch Woods in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Not that she will be able to get around much because of her injured knee.

Either way, as Bonnie Raitt once sung in a song, “Let’s give them something to talk about…”

Tim Layden, who did a profile of Vonn in Sports Illustrated last week, issued this tweet.

I’d like to thank @lindseyvonn for doing non-denial denial on Tiger romance in SI last week. Was obvious. Now official.
