Lindsey Vonn gives insight into the 'real' Tiger Woods

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn has described her boyfriend and world number one golfer Tiger Woods as "dorky goofy".

The 29-year-old has opened up about the 'real' Woods, who admitted to having a string of affairs during his marriage to ex-wife Elin Nordegren in 2009.

According to Us Magazine, Vonn said on the Katie Couric show: "He's funny.

"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 but if there's one thing I could say, he's funny. He's goofy, like dorky goofy."

The couple have been in a relationship for over seven months.
