Before they became an item, it turns out Lindsey Vonn couldn't resist mocking Tiger Woods after his cheating scandal three years ago.

In case the Olympic gold medalist forgot, Time dug up an old interview in which she poked fun at the infamous February 2010 press conference the golf star gave, where he admitted to a slew of infidelities during his marriage to then-wife Elin Nordegren.

"I really want to see that now," Vonn said at the time.

When told by members of her Vonn-tourage that Woods gave a few friends hugs after his admission, she joked, "They're like, 'Yeah, you're awesome, you go have that sex.'"

But she wasn't done.

Vonn also imagined hosting Saturday Night Live and performing a skit in which she takes the podium à la Tiger in front of a blue background and parodying his confession, saying, "There's something you don't know about me…Tiger, you're like my idol, and I too have a sex problem."

"That would be freaking funny," Vonn quipped about the sketch.

Of course, once the downhill racer's own marriage to her hubby of four years, Thomas Vonn, went belly-up in November 2011 and she found herself back on the market, it didn't take long before she saw Woods in a whole new light.

After months of rumors, the two announced on Monday that they are officially dating.

If anybody can tame Tiger, we bet it's Vonn.
