The 2010 downhill gold medallist and the former World No 1 golfer had become the golden couple of American sport after meeting at a charity event in 2012. But Vonn announced their split on Sunday in a statement on her Facebook page, citing hectic and incompatible schedules.
"I don't really want to talk about my personal life," Vonn said when asked about the rift with Woods during a press briefing in the South Korean capital, Seoul.
"I think I said everything in my Facebook post. I will just leave it at that," she added. The 30-year-old skier was in Seoul for her formal appointment as an honorary ambassador for the 2018 Games in the South Korean resort of Pyeongchang.
Vonn was forced to sit out the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi with a serious knee injury.
