Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn Are Facebook Official Now

It's not official until it's on Facebook, as the old social media maxim goes

Well, things look pretty official now between golf legend Tiger Woods and ski star Lindsey Vonn

Woods announced the pair's long-rumored relationship with a Facebook photo album that got widespread attention Monday after this rather stilted tweet to his three million Twitter followers:

Just posted some pictures of @lindseyvonn and me on Facebook facebook.com/Tiger

Woods' Facebook post then gave fans a bit more back story on the sports love connection:

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.
