In an interview with CNN, Vonn said: "Tiger and I both went through rehab with our injuries at a similar time, so we were both in the gym together and pushing each other and motivating each other, both frustrated.


I think we both helped each other a lot through that time, and I drew a lot of inspiration from him and I think he does the same with me. We continue to push each other and it's a really positive relationship in that way."

Vonn (29) and Woods (38) are both in action currently, with Woods playing in the Hero World Challenge in Orlando, Florida, while Vonn will ski at the World Cup in Canada. Vonn, who has been dating Woods for two years, said the fact that the couple are competitive sportspersons, is what helps them get along so well.

"For us, we're just two athletes trying to do the best we can in our sports," added Vonn.
