To think, I was really starting to get my arms around this Tiger Woods thing. The majors, the Jack Nicklaus talk, Nike, Rory, his swing -- he is an incandescent star for these times.

Then he goes and throws dynamite on the whole thing by (maybe?) beginning a relationship with Lindsey Vonn.

That's what Star magazine is reporting anyway. The Daily News has details as well.

In fact, according to Golf.com, an Austrian paper had linked the two more than a week ago. Woods allegedly made a pit stop in Austria to see his new fling en route to Abu Dhabi, where he missed the cut.

According to reports, Vonn's lengthy divorce (first filed in 2011) was just finalized in early 2013.

These things, as you know, have a tendency to spiral out of control rather quickly and are often as accurate as a Dwight Howard free throw, but they're nevertheless fun to talk about.

Plus, Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky need a celebrity golf rival.
