There won’t be any cat fighting between the two women in Tiger Woods’ life.

His girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, is said to be “close friends” with Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.

The Swedish beauty, 34, reportedly reached out to Vonn, 29 — despite her past with Woods, 38, who cheated on her with multiple women, an Us Weekly insider said.

She got to know the Olympic gold medalist because she knew Vonn would be around her children often.

“After meeting her, she found she actually liked her,” the source said.

“You’d think it would be weird but Elin loves Lindsey, and they talk all the time.”

The family recently vacationed together, with both women in attendance and enjoying each other’s company, according to the insider.

“Elin found that they are very similar and have a lot in common. They laugh and talk like they have been girlfriends forever.”

Nordegren apparently likes that Vonn is a “strong woman,” the magazine source said.

The pro skier and Woods went public with their relationship in March of last year. Defending her decision to date the man whose career was overshadowed by a big cheating scandal, Vonn explained that they “relate” to each other well. She also said she had been friends with the golfer for years.

Nordegren filed for divorce from the Woods in 2010, after more than a dozen women claimed to have had affairs with him throughout their marriage. She received a $100 million payout from him.
