Tiger Woods released news of relationship with Vonn to thwart stalkerazzi

Washington, Mar. 21 : Tiger Woods has said that he and his current girlfriend Lindsey Vonn released news of their relationship to limit paparazzi intrusion on their romance.

The 14-time major champion, who is preparing for the Arnold Palmer Invitational tournament in Florida, where a win would see him reclaim the number one ranking for the first time in over two years, said that the couple put the images to prevent any invasion into their lives from photographers, referring to them as "stalkerazzi."

"It's very simple, we're very happy where we are at but also we wanted to limit the stalkerazzi and all those sleazy websites out there following us," CNN quoted him as saying.

He said that he has had situations where it had become very dangerous for his kids.

Woods asserted that the pair had basically devalued their first photos, adding that the pair believed that it was the best thing to do and they were very happy about it.
