Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn announced their romantic involvement via Facebook on Monday, with both of them expressing how happy they are but also asking the public to respect their privacy. Hours later, Woods was seen attending his 5-year-old daughter Samantha's junior baseball game near his home in Jupiter, Fla. Nothing strange about that. But the Daily Mail is reporting that Vonn was there too, only she never got out of the car. Instead, she waited inside for an hour. How did the folks at the Daily Mail figure this out?

Lindsey Vonn says she's in a happy relationship with Tiger Woods -- "very happy," according to her Facebook post Monday announcing the romance -- but there was a time not so long ago when she had quite a bit of fun at the expense of the golfer and his numerous extramarital affairs. Of course, everyone was poking fun at Woods back in 2010, when he held a nationally televised news conference to address the cheating scandal that eventually led to the end of his marriage to Elin Nordegren.

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are dating! All right, so we pretty much already knew that. But now the 14-time PGA major tournament champion and six-time reigning World Cup women's downhill skiing champ have decided it's OK with them that we know. The two of them simultaneously (how romantic!) posted similarly worded (so cute!) announcements regarding their relationship on their respective Facebook accounts Monday morning. I guess this means we can officially break out the "Liger" nickname!

Way to go Steve Stricker. Way to ruin the PGA Tour for everyone else. As you may have heard, Tiger Woods won the PGA Tour tournament in Doral, Fla., on Sunday. The main reason he won was because of his outstanding putting. Woods putted 100 times in the 72-hole tournament, the best he has ever done (which is saying a lot, considering this is Tiger Woods we are talking about). He also made 27 birdies, the second-best total of his career. All because of his superior putting, a facet of his game that had failed him over the last couple of years, when Woods seemed mortal again.

DORAL, Fla. — It's bad news for his opponents when Tiger Woods can scrape the ball around the Blue Monster at Trump Doral and still cruise to a two-shot victory. Despite some wayward drives and approach shots, Woods never wavered in the final round of the Cadillac Championship on Sunday, shooting a one-under-par 71 to finish at 19-under 269 for the tournament. It was the fourth time Woods has won at Doral, his 17th World Golf Championships title and his second PGA Tour victory of the year.

Tiger Woods, the former No. 1 golfer in the world, appears ready to ascend back to the top as he strolls to what looks like another victory in the Cadillac Championship at Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Florida. He had his swagger back and probably uttered the words no other golfer wants to hear Saturday after he finished off a round of 67 -- two better than Graeme McDowell, who started the third round only two shots off the lead and finds himself still in second. When asked if he thought he could return to the form of more than a decade ago when he routed opponents and seemingly rendered golf courses defenseless, Woods replied, "I want it to be better.

For all those golf fans in Doral, Fla., or others ready to gather in front of the television to watch the Cadillac Championship, there will be no Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson twosome on Saturday. Graeme McDowell ruined any chances of that until at least Sunday. “I saw Phil sneaking up the leaderboard there behind me and I [said], 'Let's spoil that party,'" McDowell said of a conversation he had with his caddie Friday. "I'm sure they would have liked Tiger and Phil in the last group tomorrow.

Tiger Woods doesn't often compliment other golfers, but there's a reason he called veteran American Steve Stricker among the greatest putters in the history of the game. It seems that Stricker noticed a couple of small problems in Woods' stroke and counseled the former No. 1 player in the world. Things like relaxing his strong grip, improving his posture and keeping his hands ahead of the ball on impact. “He can see the things that are off a little bit because he knows my stroke so well,” Woods said of Stricker, a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour.

Serena Williams received a lesson in golf etiquette on Friday when she tried snapping a photo of Tiger Woods from the gallery at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. As Woods stepped to the tee box at No. 17, Williams raised her phone to prepare to take a photo. A tournament official noticed and immediately walked toward her, waved his arm to get her attention and then let her know that taking photos was not allowed. Williams tweeted about the mishap: "Apparently u can't take pictures of golfers.

Skier Lindsey Vonn vowed that she will be ready for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games despite breaking her right leg and tearing her ACL and MCL on Feb. 5 at the Alpine skiing world championships in Austria. “I have no doubt I will be ready for Sochi,” Vonn said Monday on the "Today" show. "Honestly, in a worst-case scenario, if I trained a week before the Games, I'd be fine. " The 2014 Winter Olympics will be held in Sochi, Russia, from Feb. 7 to 23. Earlier, in a conference call with reporters, Vonn discussed what was going through her mind during the initial moments of the injury.
