In a blog post this week, world No. 1 Tiger Woods explained that he would be taking time away from the golf course in the coming weeks. One of Woods' first non-golf activities reportedly took him to France, where he will watch girlfriend Lindsey Vonn take to the slopes this weekend.
Woods landed Friday in Val d'Isere, France, where according to an AFP report he will be on-hand as Vonn participates in the World Cup downhill ski race Saturday. The race marks another milestone for Vonn as she looks to rebound from a recent knee injury, with the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia now less than two months away.
"It's been tough with my ACL injury, but I'm feeling good," Vonn told reporters this week.
Woods wrote Thursday that he is in a unique position to offer Vonn advice as she looks to rehab her injury.
"Having experienced reconstructive surgery on my knee and the ensuing rehab, and the amount of pain associated with it, it's really hard to explain to anybody else unless you've been through it," explained Woods. "I've had my share of experiences in that regard - unfortunately - but I think it helps her in a sense because she can bounce ideas off me about what to expect."
According to the report, Saturday will mark Woods' first opportunity to see Vonn in competition since the pair made their relationship known to the public in March.
