Those hearing wedding bells chiming where Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn are concerned may be disappointed on learning that the couple has split after 3 years together.

The Olympic skier announced the breakup on her Facebook account Sunday, clarifying that the uncoupling was a "mutual" decision.

"I will always cherish the memories that we've created together. Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart," her post read. "I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart."

This update may come as a bit of a surprise to those who have just seen Lindsey talk about her erstwhile golfer boyfriend while appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, as noted by MailOnline.

She had humorously, albeit with a hint of sarcasm, said, "I love golf" quite repeatedly when asked about what she goes through when supporting Tiger on his tournaments.

"Golf is all about patience - one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day. He helped me take it one day at a time," the pro athlete was quoted by the British publication as saying in another interview last year.

As noted by USA Today, it appears that being among the cream of the crop in their respective sports has taken a toll on their relationship - an eventuality that should have been quite apparent from the outset.

"Both are among the world's best in their sports, with Vonn an Olympic and world champion, and Woods a 14-time major winner," the news source pointed out. "That doesn't happen without a lot of training and a single-minded focus on success, and as great an idea as it seems to put two of those people together, it's actually the recipe for a breakup."

It can be recalled that around the beginning of their relationship, both were nursing injuries and spent time recovering and getting back to tiptop shape, which ironically gave them enough time to strengthen their bond. However, once they went past the injury slump, things started to change for them relationship-wise, as well.

If there's a bright spot to this update, it's that it did not end in a spectacle and a gossip rag headline of a similar notoriety as his public split from his wife Elin Nordegren in 2010.

Will the duo reunite in a few months or once their schedules free up again? Time will tell.
