Woods, Vonn end relationship

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods have decided to end their three-year relationship.

Vonn said Sunday on Facebook that the Olympic ski champion and 14-time major golf winner lead "incredibly hectic" lives that forced them to spend most of their time apart. She says Woods and his family "will always hold a special place in my heart."

On his website, Woods delivered a personal message that read, "Lindsey and I have mutually decided to stop dating. I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I'll always cherish our time together. 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."

Woods, who recently committed to playing THE PLAYERS Championship, went to Italy in January to watch Vonn break the World Cup record. She has been a regular in the crowd at his majors.
