Lindsey Vonn, Tiger Woods break up

— -- U.S. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn announced her breakup with golf star Tiger Woods on social media Sunday.

"After nearly three years together, Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship," Vonn said on her Facebook page. "I will always cherish the memories that we've created together.

"Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart. I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart."

The high-profile couple announced in 2013 they were an item via mutual social media posts and were routinely seen as spectators at each others events. The duo also dealt with long recoveries from injuries that prevented them from playing their respective sports.

Woods has battled injuries and ineffectiveness of late, but most recently returned to the golf course to play at this year's Masters.

Vonn returned from knee surgery to break the record for most World Cup championship wins by a woman.
