Lindsey Vonn’s not much of a golf fan but she’s a darn good girlfriend to Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods gets off easy when it comes to supporting the chosen sport of his world champion skier girlfriend Lindsey Vonn. All he has to do is show up at the finish line — with or without a skeleton mask on his tooth-depleted face — and hang out for about a minute and a half before offering congratulations or solace for a race won or lost.

Vonn, on the other hand, sounded Monday night as if she would rather watch grass grow than schlep around tracks like Augusta National watching Woods ply his trade for the better (or worse) part of a day.

Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Vonn showed superb comic timing in responding to a couple of softballs the host tossed her way.

“Do you like watching golf?” Meyers asked Vonn, who began dating the divorced Woods about two years ago. “Was that something you did before?”

We’re guessing not, given Vonn’s pause, eye flicking and less-than-exuberant “I love golf!” reply through pursed lips.

Noting Vonn’s sarcasm, Meyers suggested that the snail’s pace of Woods’ vocation might be difficult for “an adrenaline junky” to endure.

“I just — I — I love golf,” Vonn, with a laugh and a bit of a quiver in her voice, reiterated unconvincingly.

Especially after she did the math.

“That’s like five hours,” Vonn said. “It’s a long time.”

Times four, if Woods makes it through a weekend — which he did at the Masters a little over a week ago for just the second time in 10 PGA Tour events dating back to January of last year.

Vonn, 30, chatted about how the two superstars have helped each other through their various injuries — her knee and his back — that landed them on the DL together.

“We were kind of injured around the same time and it was nice to just be in the gym with someone that knew what you were going through,” Vonn said. “We kinda just pushed each other back to health.”

So it’s all square in the “support your spouse through bad times” category. Vonn, though, is definitely one-up when it comes to backing her man as he grinds through four days of a golf tournament — five, when you consider that she and Tiger’s two kids participated in the Par-3 Contest the Wednesday before the Masters.

“You’re a very good girlfriend,” a sympathetic Meyers told Vonn.

“I am,” a smiling and nodding Vonn concurred.
