Tiger Woods is off to a solid start at the Masters at Augusta National on Thursday and is even after three holes and one reason for his relaxed start could be from the presence of his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn, who was spotted at the club on Thursday during the first round of the major.
According to CBS Sports, the skier was in attendance to support her boyfriend, who went public with their relationship just a few weeks ago on Facebook. The two have been together for some time based on reports, although they didn't officially acknowledge it until recently. Vonn is back on her feet after having knee surgery following a tough injury in Austria and she is expected to not miss any Olympics time.
Woods is at Augusta for the 19th time and is trying to win his first major there since 2005, which would be his fifth in his career. Tiger has been stuck on 14 majors for a while since winning the US Open in 2008 and he is the favorite for the Masters after taking two straight wins at the WGC Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Woods took back the number one ranking from Rory McIlroy and he is in a good position to win after taking three tournaments this season and six in the past 13 months, more than any other golfer on tour. Woods looks relaxed and he is putting better than he has in years, setting him up for a tough event against names like Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlory, Bubba Watson and Jim Furyk, who has the early lead.
