Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn has insisted that her relationship with world number one golfer Tiger Woods is "normal".

The couple announced their romance in March this year following a number of rumours that Woods was in his first serious relationship since getting divorced by Elin Nordegren.

"We talk golf after his golf rounds, but mostly I listen," Vonn told the New York Times. "We really are normal in that way. Lots of people go home and talk to their wife or husband about their job. That's what we do.

"I didn't quite know what I was getting myself into. It's weird. It's just something I have to deal with. He has his job, and I have mine. I just have to get used to it."

Woods split from his wife following allegations of a string of affairs.
