Lindsey Vonn: Tiger Woods helped me get better

OHMYGOSSIP — Lindsay Vonn has heaped praise on boyfriend Tiger Woods. In an interview on the TODAY show, Vonn revealed that Woods has helped her through the recovery process after, on Feb. 5, she tore the anterior crucial ligament and medial collateral ligament in her right knee and fractured her tibia in a crash at the Alpine skiing world championships in Schlamding, Austria.

Thanks to Vonn’s diligent rehabilitation, she is back on skis and recently hit the snow for the first time since her injury.

“I’m not a very patient person,” Vonn said. “Tiger’s very patient and he’s very mentally tough. He’s a grinder.

“He works extremely hard, and he’s obviously also had an ACL injury as well and had the same surgery, so he knew what I was going through.

“He said just be patient, keep working hard, and everything is going to turn around. It really helped me get through it.”
