Tiger Woods confirms his relationship with Vanessa Trump

Golfer Tiger Woods announced that he is dating Vanessa Trump, US President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law.

Vanessa, 47, was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years. The pair, who have five children, divorced in 2018.

On Sunday, Woods, 49, posted a photo of Vanessa and himself on social media: “Love is in the air, life is with you by my side! We look forward to traveling through life together.”

“At this point, we appreciate the privacy of all people close to our hearts.”

It is unclear what was released, but rumors about their relationship have been reported in gossip magazines in recent weeks.

Winning 15 major championships, Woods is known for being protected about his personal life after his marital infidelity and sexual scandal exposure hurt his public status in the 2000s and influenced his playing career.

He admitted himself to a sex addiction rehabilitation clinic and after his marriage six years later he experienced a fierce division from his first wife, Elin Nordegren. The couple has two children together.

US media reports that Tiger Woods children attend the same school as Vanessa Trump children.

As the ex-wife of Donald Trump’s eldest son, Vanessa was a regular attendee of official events involving Trump’s extended family during his first term.

Woods, formerly the world’s number one player, is known to have played golf with President Trump several times, including last month. Trump loves golf and owns over 12 courses.

In February, Woods attended a meeting with Trump and the Director of the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) at the White House on the future of the sport’s tournament and the current division with the Saudi Arabian LIV League.

Woods wore his presidential Medal of Freedom.

Woods announced his Achilles tendon injury earlier this month. He has not suggested a timeline as to when he will return to the course.

He has not competed in this season’s PGA Tour event after his mother Kurchida passed away in February.

The new couple has a child who is a junior golfer.

Kai Trump, 17, announced her commitment to playing college golf at the University of Miami in 2026.

She and Charlie Woods played in a junior invitation-only tournament held in South Carolina last week.

Woods previously announced their relationship with World Cup champion ski racer Lindsay Bonn and his former restaurant manager Erica Herman.

The relationship ended badly – Herman filed a legal lawsuit against Woods and his trust in 2023, which she later retracted.
