TIGER Woods reportedly romanced Lindsey Vonn while she was dating Kim Kardashian's estranged husband Kris Humphries.

The pro golfer acknowledged his romance with Olympic skier Lindsey on March 18 after several months of speculation.

The 37-year-old and his 28-year-old girlfriend used simultaneous online announcements to confirm the relationship and posted pictures of themselves together.

"Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating," Woods wrote on his Facebook.

According to Us Weekly, the couple became official after Lindsey broke it off with Kris.

"Woods wasn't Vonn's only suitor. Bachelor number two was none other than Kim Kardashian ex Kris Humphries," a source said.

As the magazine reports, both Lindsey and Kris are from Minnesota and were able to bond over their shared careers as athletes. Eventually Tiger won her over.

Humphries meanwhile remains tangled in divorce proceedings with Kim despite the reality star being pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Kanye West.

The pair became a couple shortly after the end of her 72-day marriage to Kris. The basketball star is seeking to annul their marriage which he alleges was a fraud.

Tiger made headlines with his own marital split from ex-wife Elin Nordegren in 2010.

The golfing champion was linked to a slew of women while still married to the former Swedish model, with whom he has two children.

Lindsey's divorce from fellow Olympic skier Thomas Vonn was finalised in January. The couple had been married for over five years.

Executive stole from the Salvos

AN executive who stole more than $140,000 from the Salvation Army was given a 12-month suspended jail sentence yesterday at Downing Centre Local Court.

Kenneth Allan Heffernan, 66, set up Australia's biggest function centre for the Salvos - The Collaroy Centre - and was its executive director for more than 20 years. He built it up to become the fourth biggest Salvation Army Centre in the world, with an average annual turnover of $6.2 million, the court heard.

Of that money, about $1.2 million went to the Salvos each year.

At a sentencing hearing yesterday, the court was told that Heffernan - a third-generation member of the Christian church - stole $144,510.42 between 2005 and 2010 by duplicating invoices and making payments to himself.

Prosecutor Sergeant Matthew Baker said Heffernan did not suffer from gambling, alcohol or drug issues, and did not have a mental illness that could have led to the thefts. "It was strictly for financial gain, greed," Sgt Baker said.

"He knows of the organisation's good work ... he has nonetheless decided to give himself a pay rise."

According to a statement of facts tendered to the court, KPMG Forensic conducted an external audit of the centre in May 2010, revealing the crimes. Heffernan stopped working for the organisation in December 2009. He currently lives in Queensland with his wife and works as a funeral celebrant.A deed of agreement has been set up stating that Heffernan must pay $2000 a month to the Salvation Army until the money has been repaid.

That debt includes the $88,000 fee for the external audit.

Barrister Geoffrey Archer said his client had not only lost his employment but also "his church".
