Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn has announced that her three-year relationship with golfing great Tiger Woods has come to an end.

Vonn made the announcement on her official Facebook page overnight.

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

"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 30-year-old wrote.

Both sports stars had been previously married before their relationship began in 2013.

Woods, 39, who divorced wife Elin Nordegren in 2010 after hitting the headlines for cheating on several occasions, has yet to comment on the split.
