Report: Is the Woods-Vonn relationship just a P.R. move?

Don't pick out a wedding gift for Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn just yet, or at least that's what the New York Post is implying in a Page Six item on Friday.

The tabloid, which has been the most proactive media outlet in covering Woods' romantic entanglements, says the Woods-Vonn relationship, which they announced via Facebook earlier this week, may be rooted less in love and more in opportunism.

"Actually it is a match made in marketing heaven," the Post quotes a source as saying. "It immediately makes him more sympathetic, and makes Vonn a household name as she reaches a crucial point in her skiing career, the 2014 Winter Olympics. They know the sponsors are watching."

The Post cites another source saying Woods is actually more interested in winning back his ex-wife Elin Nordegren. Who are we to believe? We're not sure. All we know is Tiger has a chance to pick up his eighth career win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week.

Maybe Vonn will be there to greet him greenside if he does.

Sirak: Woods firing of Williams doesn't answer questions

As if any further evidence was required to make the point, Tiger Woods is officially a mess. The oft-rumored breakup of Woods and his longtime caddie Steve Williams became a reality Wednesday when Woods said on his website he had shown the looper the door. It is yet another blow to stability in what has been more than 20 months of chaos in Woods' personal and professional life.

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it's time for a change," Woods posted. "Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future."

Since Woods ended up in a Florida emergency room in the early hours of Nov. 27, 2009, he has divorced from Elin Nordegren, split with swing coach Hank Haney, fired Williams and went separate ways with the only managing agency he has had in his career, IMG, although not with his manager, Mark Steinberg. Woods has also lost seven lucrative endorsement deals since the scandal broke. And replaced them with one of far lesser quality.
