WASHINGTON, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Golfer Tiger Woods and U.S. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn ended their nearly three-year relationship, they announced on Sunday.

Both said the reason for their break-up is that they could spend little time together because of their demanding sport careers.

Vonn, 30, used her Facebook page to announce the split before Woods confirmed it on his website.

Four-time Masters champion Woods, 39, announced in 2013 that he and Vonn, a four-time World Cup ski champion and Olympic gold medalist, was a couple.

Woods was divorced from former Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2010 after his infidelity scandal came to light and rocked the sports world.
