Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods
Golf icon Tiger Woods has reportedly found romance again, this time with Vanessa Trump. Sources close to the Trump family have disclosed that the pair have been quietly seeing each other for several months, enjoying a private relationship away from the public eye.
According to insiders, Vanessa’s former husband, Donald Trump Jr., has no objections to the budding relationship and supports their connection. The news was initially reported by the Daily Mail and has since gained widespread attention.
Woods, 49, and Trump, 47, share several interests, including their deep ties to Florida, where they reside. Additionally, Trump’s daughter, Kai, 17, is an accomplished golfer and recently committed to playing for the University of Miami’s golf team. The shared passion for golf within the family has reportedly helped strengthen the bond between Woods and Trump.
Their relationship became more apparent when Woods, Vanessa, and Kai were spotted together at a Florida golf tournament on February 16. Just a few days later, on February 20, Woods was recognized at the White House by former President Donald Trump during a Black History Month celebration.
Despite this newfound romance, 2025 has been a challenging year for Woods. On February 12, the legendary golfer revealed that he had suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon while training. “As I began ramping up my training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was later diagnosed as a rupture,” Woods shared on social media.
The injury required a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Adding to his struggles, Woods is also grieving the loss of his mother, Kultida Woods, who passed away on February 4 at the age of 81.
The golf star shared an emotional tribute on social media, expressing his sorrow, “It is with heartfelt sadness that I share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning. She was my biggest fan and greatest supporter. Without her, none of my achievements would have been possible. She was loved by so many, especially her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.”
As Woods navigates both personal loss and physical recovery, his new relationship with Vanessa Trump appears to be a bright spot in the year’s difficult start.
