Lindsey Vonn Tells Katie Couric: Boyfriend Tiger Woods Is “Funny” and “Dorky”

Match made in athlete heaven? Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods have officially been dating for over seven months now, but fans are still trying to learn more about the famous couple. On the upcoming Tuesday, Nov. 5 episode of Katie Couric‘s self-titled talk show, the host asks the 29-year-old Olympic skier to explain what her 37-year-old golf pro boyfriend is really like as a person.

“He’s funny,” Vonn says of Woods with a big smile. “He’s really laid-back. He’s a great guy. He’s always making jokes . . . very competitive, just like me.”

“We have very similar personalities,” she further explains, “but if there’s one thing I could say: he’s funny. He’s goofy, like dorky goofy.”

“Really?! I don’t know, you just don’t think of Tiger Woods as kind of dorky,” Couric says in disbelief. “He seems like such a cool costumer.”

Vonn jokingly adds, “He’s probably not going to be that excited that I just said that.”

During an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last week, Vonn explained how their friendship evolved into a relationship. “We’re athletes, so I guess we have something in common there,” she told host David Letterman. “We met at his charity event in Vegas, Tiger Jam, and, yeah, we were friends for a long time. I don’t know, we just kind of relate really well to one another.”
