Before Lindsey Vonn settled in with the controversial athlete Tiger Woods, it was found out that she formerly dated Kris Humphries, ex of non other than reality star Kim Kardashian.

Before Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn made their relationship public by announcing it simultaneously on Facebook, Lindsey was formerly dating another well-known athlete in the form of Kris Humphries.

Well talk about coincidence, maybe Lindsey has a thing for complicated men or maybe she just got the hots for athletes. According to new reports from US Weekly, Kris Humphries was a contender in winning Lindsey Vonn's heart before Tiger came along.

The celebrity gossip magazine reported that Tiger was not the only one who was pursuing Lindsey at that time but another athlete who is now revealed as Kris Humphries was dating the ski racer. The magazine suggested that the two have a lot in common, being born in Minnesota and both 28-years-old.

However, Tiger Woods was a different story. When the golfer started dating Vonn, he was on his way to recovering his stance as an individual and as a public figure. He was also on his way back to proving that he is the best golfer that the world has ever know.

Friends of Lindsey have warned the Olympian about the complications she may encounter if she dated the famously promiscuous golfer. But there must be something about Woods that Vonn found irresistible.

In return there was something about Vonn as well that may have inspired the golfer one way or another. Since the two started dating, Tiger skyrocketed back in rankings in the world of golf. Perhaps Lindsey may do him some good.

Although the two announced their romance, they insisted that they would like to keep their relationship in private. But that is hardly the case since all eyes are on them right now, maybe waiting until either one of them makes a mistake.
