Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods have confirmed that they have ended their relationship.

The duo officially announced that they were together in March 2013, but have decided to mutually split due to their hectic work schedules.

The former Olympic skiing gold medallist wrote on her Facebook page: "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.

"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."

Woods added on his official website: "Lindsey and I have mutually decided to stop dating.

"I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I'll always cherish our time together. She has been amazing with Sam and Charlie and my entire family.

"Unfortunately, we lead very hectic lives and are both competing in demanding sports. It's difficult to spend time together."

Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren, but they divorced in 2010 when it was revealed that he had several extramarital affairs.
