A day after Woods and Vonn told the world they were dating and shared photos on their Facebook pages, Woods explained why they made that decision at a news conference on the eve of the $6.2 million US PGA Arnold Palmer Invitational. <img alt="Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/mar/tiger_2.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 485px;" /> A picture Lindsey Vonn posted on her Facebook account with Tiger Woods &ldquo;We&rsquo;re very happy where we&rsquo;re at, but also we wanted to limit the &lsquo;stalkerazzi&rsquo; and all those sleazy websites out there, paparazzi following us,&rdquo; Woods said. Photographers seeking a valuable picture of the couple had put at risk the health of Woods&rsquo; two children with ex-wife Elin Nordegren &mdash; five-year-old daughter Sam Alexis and four-year-old son Charlie. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve had situations where it has been very dangerous for my kids, the lengths paparazzi will go to,&rdquo; Woods said. &ldquo;We basically devalued the first photos. Unfortunately that&rsquo;s just the way it is in our society right now. We felt it was the best thing to do and I&rsquo;m very happy about it,&rdquo; he added. Woods has been fiercely private when it comes to his personal life, even before his downfall in November 2009 over multiple extramarital affairs.
