Amy Mickelson, Lindsey Vonn's Golf Cart Mishap Goes Viral
Lindsey Vonn and Amy Mickelson, the wife of golf star Phil Mickelson, were involved in a golf cart mishap over the weekend.
The two women attended the Presidents Cup in Dublin, Ohio on Sunday where they were supporting their significant others on the United States team.
While Amy, 40, is married to her golfer husband, Vonn has been dating Tiger Woods since January.

During the golf tournament, Vonn evidently drove her golf cart into thick mud and got stuck, but was moving again with help from her friend.
Mickelson, a breast cancer survivor since 2009, got behind the golf cart and pushed while Vonn steered the vehicle as Phil Mickelson and course staffers looked on, according to Fox Sports Ohio.
With Mickelson's assistance, the Olympic skier was moving again- and a gif taken from the event has since gone viral online.
Since Vonn is still recovering from two torn ligaments in her knee after a violent ski crash in February, she likely avoided the high-impact task of pushing the golf cart uphill on Sunday.
Nevertheless, Vonn's surgically repaired knee is reportedly healing so well that she could be racing again by the end of the month- five weeks earlier than originally expected, according to ESPN.
Meanwhile, the Presidents Cup was not the first time Vonn stepped out in support of her pro golfer boyfriend. The skier attended The Masters where Woods was playing, just three months after the couple went public with their relationship via Facebook.
"Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating," the world-renowned golfer posted. "We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes."
Alternately, taking to her own Facebook page with the dating news, Vonn added that she would not "plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between my family and close friends."
"Thank you for understanding and your continued support! Xo LV," she added.
