    Now that Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods have come out to announce that they're an "official" couple, people have a lot to say about what's going on with these two. Can a man who was such a serial cheater ever really change? It's also hard to believe a sports star with the size of an ego like Tiger, who once banged porn stars and asked them about "golden showers", would be able to find someone who's okay with that kind of past. Because apparently even Lindsey thought the whole "sex problem" thing was hilarious three years ago.

    When Tiger hosted a news conference announcing his transgressions, Lindsey was enjoying fame as an Olympic skier. Someone told her that Woods gave friends hugs after the statement, and she joked, "They're like, 'Yeah, you're awesome, you go have that sex.'" 

    Guess it's not so funny now that you're dating him, is it? Awk-ward.

    No one should have their past held against them forever, but when you're talking about Tiger Woods, that's one hell of a past. It was only a couple of years ago that seemingly dozens of marital infidelities came to light, destroying his marriage to Elin Nordegren, the mother of his two children. Tiger lost his reputation, some endorsement deals, and his game for awhile. But he seems to have gained one thing: a new girlfriend. And she's not a stripper or porn star. She's Olympian skiier Lindsey Vonn. She's blonde, young, and beautiful. And apparently she doesn't mind Tiger's past ... I guess???

    Serena Williams, the number one tennis ace in the world, is not accustomed to being denied something she wants. So it came to quite a shock to her when she was slapped down for trying to take a photo. Serena was watching Tiger Woods line up his shot at a PGA tournament in Florida when she raised her pink cellphone to snap a pic. But the tennis phenom apparently had no idea that taking pics of the golf champ is strictly forbidden. I can only imagine that this is posted everywhere -- and probably announced too -- but, hey, It's me, Serena! Lemme do what I want! So she excitedly held up her camera to snap a shot when ... doh! She got sooooo busted. And it's really funny.

    Did you all forget about Tiger Woods? Well, ever since he had a crazy episode regarding his car and a golf club back in 2009 and it turned out that he was cheating on his super hot gorgeous wife Elin Nordegren and it tore his family apart and he really hasn't done much professionally since, it's kind of easy to forget all about him. Until, of course, news of his dating life comes to light.

    Turns out, his latest girlfriend is none other than hottie blonde skier Lindsey Vonn.

    Beautiful, tall, athletic, did I say blonde, sure, anyone could see Tiger's attraction. She may not exactly have that, um, porn star look, but maybe his tastes have matured a bit since the scandal (yeah right).

    Still, though, gotta wonder what a gorgeous, talented, extremely rich woman like Vonn is doing with a serial cheater like Woods. Because probably the first thing that went through her mind was: Better get this dude tested.

    Back before Tiger Woods' crazy porn star-filled scandal, it was kind of a given that he was one of the highest paid athletes ... well, ever. Now that he's lost some endorsements and hasn't won many major tournaments recently, the title was up for grabs. I thought it could have gone to a football player, or an NBA player, but nope, the title goes to: Floyd Mayweather.

    Poor Floyd can't even celebrate his new title, as he's currently sitting in jail. The 35-year-old is serving a three-month sentence after pleading guilty to reduced domestic battery charges after allegedly attacking his former girlfriend while two of their children watched.

    Still, the controversial fighter made $85 million in income this year from his two fights Victor Ortiz ($40 million) and Miguel Cotto ($45 million). Holy moly!

    Honestly, call me naive, but I had no idea this much money went into boxing.

    Lexi ThompsonLexi Thompson, an LPGA teen sensation from Coral Springs, Florida, hasn't had the most typical teenage experience growing up. She had to be home-schooled due to her insanely busy schedule and she has to miss graduation because she'll be out on tour. So it's great she'll get a little slice of "normal" teenage life by being able to go to her prom.

    But what makes this story even sweeter is that she chose her date by creating a contest to honor Wounded Warriors, which provides services to injured servicemen and women. She first thought to ask another athlete or actor, but instead gave an all-expenses-paid weekend of fun to Lance Corporal Mark Scott, a Marine active reservist and Purple Heart recipient from Naperville, Illinois. 

    From going go-kart racing to appearing on "Fox and Friends" to taking a trip to the gun range then the golf course, it sounds like a weekend both of them will never forget!

    A man from Denver named Woody Roseland had one of the best weeks of his life recently -- because he was declared to be in remission from cancer, and got to meet two of his sports heroes all in the matter of a few days. They say, "When it rains, it pours" -- and the good fortune was definitely pouring in for Woody after his courageous battle with cancer.

    On the same day he got the word from doctors that he was in remission, he also got the change to play catch at Coors Field in downtown Denver with player Jeremy Guthrie. He was thrilled to be able to walk out onto the field (amazingly as an amputee) and throw the ball around, but then when he was invited to be a guest at Tim Tebow's celebrity golf tournament in Florida a few days later? Well, that definitely made his dreams come true.

    This has been a pretty great week for Bubba Watson, to say the very least. Before his big win at the Masters on Sunday, he was just another golfer that not too many people had heard much about. But now? Bubba's definitely a household name.

    And speaking of households, he's just put his North Carolina lake house on the market for $1.499 million, leading us to wonder if he's decided to trade up his digs for something a little more stately -- and possibly more kid-friendly too. Bubba and his wife just adopted 1-month-old Caleb a couple of weeks ago, and living right on the water in a home that has a dock, floating pier, and a pool & hot tub probably isn't the best spot for a growing baby.

    Did you relax and enjoy the Masters 2012 yesterday? I only caught a few minutes of the tournament, but was shocked and pleasantly surprised when I heard that Bubba Watson had pulled off a true underdog victory and won the whole thing. And I was so relieved -- because I would've been a bit annoyed if Tiger Woods had somehow come from behind and wound up winning. (That just wouldn't have been fair at all.)

    Bubba Watson deserved to win the Masters, and his victory at Augusta National was even sweeter because he is a man of faith and character who has his priorities in line. Hmm ... an athlete who is also a "man of faith." Don't athletes usually get made fun of for staying true to their beliefs? Huh. Guess golf is a bit too mature for that sort of childish behavior.

    When I think golf, I almost immediately think of Tiger Woods. Don't you? Going into the 2012 Masters tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, he was clearly a crowd fave. But eeeek -- sorry, Tiger  -- it seems that this year's polo-wearing spectators are roaring for another head honcho: Phil Mickelson.

    The 41-year-old golfer is hands down one of the most accomplished players of his era, with three prior Masters wins. After a lackluster start to Saturday's 18 holes, Mickelson channeled his inner golf god to come back to second place, one behind leader Peter Hanson. Wowza! One day of play left, and things are HEATING up!

    I love me an underdog. I also love me a man who makes people realize there IS more to golf than Tiger. But you know what? I don't know too much about this studly looking father of three. So naturally what's a woman to do? Some research.

    Check out 8 interesting things to know about Phil Mickelson:
