Officially, Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are an item after the venerable golfer and ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. posted on Instagram revealing that they are dating.
“Love permeates the air and life is better when you are at my side! We are excited about our road trip through life together,” he captioned the image. “At this time we would value privacy for all those near to our hearts.
Vanessa reshared Woods’ Instagram story post in what looks to be a planned disclosure. Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren was shocked by this love choice. But their children feel quite the reverse.
While their children Kai Trump, Charlie Woods, and Sam Woods all attend The Benjamin School together, the duo are reported to live just 20 minutes apart from one another in Palm Beach.
Though Woods and Trump – the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. – have not yet moved in together, they later apparently visit the former’s house. “She visits Jupiter Island at his house. They are not sharing a home.
“They basically enjoy sitting around, dining together, and schmoozing. They have decided not to make it a thing and go public; they are staying near to home. Not quite at all, though.”
Originally friends, a source told the New York Post Woods and Trump, who filed for an uncontested divorce from Don Jr. on March 15, 2018 in New York, had developed “something more.” Although the insider underlined that things between them are “not too serious” yet, she also said that “it’s heading in that direction”.
“They have a lot in common. Both of them have been used to public criticism. Both of them understand the need of keeping their personal life secret. Neither of them is a parent.
Woods and Vanessa aren’t racing anything in their relationship right now. “They’re taking it slow but I could see this becoming something rather serious and permanent,” the person said. “She would date him even if he had notoriety; she is not starstruck by him. She is not interested in fame; what she enjoys about her is something else entirely.”
Although Woods and Trump have only recently made their relationship public formally, multiple past signals suggested their possible affair. Just hours after completing a game of golf with President Donald Trump, the 49-year-old was seen arriving at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines with Kai Trump last month.
Vanessa and Kai were seen at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida some weeks ago enjoying the fourth night of the 2025 TGL season, the tech-infused golf league Woods and Rory McIlroy co-founded.
