The skier Lindsey Vonn said on Sunday that she and the former world No 1 golfer Tiger Woods have decided to end their three-year relationship.

Vonn, an Olympic champion, said on Facebook that she and the 14-time major winner lead “incredibly hectic” lives that had required them to spend most of their time apart.

The pair announced their relationship in mutual social media postings in March 2013. There was no immediate word from Woods on the split.

The full statement from Vonn read: “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 went to Italy in January to watch Vonn break the World Cup record. She has been a regular in the crowd at his majors.

Woods has not won since August 2013 and will fall out of the top 120 in the next world rankings.
