Golf great Tiger Woods and skiing sensation Lindsey Vonn were one of those celebrity couples you wanted to root for. Both were top athletes, divorcees, and seemingly enjoyed a genuine connection and real love. So what went wrong? Here's the real reason Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn broke up.

Woods and Vonn met by chance at a charity event in Las Vegas in 2012, and according to Vonn, they immediately connected.

As their relationship deepened, they bonded by trying out each other's area of expertise. Vonn told the late night host that she even nailed a hole-in-one during her first round on the green. She also confessed that Woods is a decent skier, but of course, not the best.

The divorcees ended up cementing their love as they healed together, quite literally. Woods was rehabbing his often injured back and Vonn was recovering from a knee surgery that kept her out of the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Vonn told the AP,

"Rehab is not a fun thing to do, it's very monotonous and tedious. But if you're going through rehab, it's nice to have a partner to do this with."

Although their competitiveness was obviously a form of flirting for these super athletes, Vonn said they kept the attraction "at bay" during their joint physical therapy sessions. She added,

"It's about doing it right and taking the time [you need] to really heal properly." Keep watching to learn The Real Reason Tiger Woods And Lindsey Vonn Broke Up!
