MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Golfing great Tiger Woods is talking about the decision to go public with his relationship with Minnesota-native Lindsey Vonn.

“We’re very happy where we’re at, but also we wanted to limit the ‘stalkerazzi’ and all those sleezy websites that are out there following us,” said Woods. “I’ve had situations where it’s been very dangerous for my kids and the extent that they’ll go to. We basically devalued the first photos.”

Woods made the comments Wednesday at a press conference for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
