The First Son’s take came after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Vanessa had secretly been seeing the five-time Masters champion.
So far, most around Trumpworld and Woods have remained quiet about the rumored romance.
But an insider told People Magazine that Don Jr. – who may run to succeed his father in 2028 – is ‘cool’ with his ex’s relationship with Woods.
After his divorce from Vanessa, Don Jr. had a long-term relationship and engagement with former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is now President Trump’s Ambassador to Greece.
But in September, DailyMail.com exclusively published images of Don Jr. in southern Florida with West Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
By December, Don and Guilfoyle’s relationship was over and he began publicly dating Anderson after his father’s 2024 election win.
Kai Trump, Don Jr. and Vanessa’s oldest daughter and herself a promising golfer, took to YouTube Friday, where the 17-year-old revealed she is on a first-name basis with ‘Tiger’.

The teenager, set to attend the Miami University on a golf scholarship, shared the video as an update about her experience playing at the Genesis Open alongside Rory McIlRoy.
She then went to talk about the San Diego tournament and the organizations helping put on the event where her familiarity with Woods was evident.
‘They have two foundations that support it, TGR – that’s Tiger’s foundation, and California Rise,’ Kai explained.
Vanessa, 47, and Woods, 49, both live in Florida, and have been together since Thanksgiving.
They are quickly becoming golf’s new power couple and were seen arriving together at a tournament on February 16.
Four sources confirmed to DailyMail.com that the pair are an item.
They live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month.
Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods’ children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School.

Other members of the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa and Don Jr.’s children, are aware they are an item, one source said.
Kai and Woods’ son Charlie are both aspiring golfers with sights set on turning professional.
Both are slated to compete against each other in a junior tournament next week.
Their families appear to have become increasingly close. Last month, at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California, they were pictured arriving together.
Kai, who committed to playing golf at the University of Miami next year, wore an outfit from Woods’ clothing line.
In February, Vanessa took Kai to watch a round of the TGL, the golf league created by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Meanwhile, President Trump met up with Woods for a round of golf last month.
The commander-in-chief – an avid golfer himself – also brought out Woods to surprise the crowd at a White House Black History month celebration a few weeks ago.

The standing-room only crowd in the East Room screamed with delight, yelling ‘Trump’ and ‘Tiger’ repeatedly, going on for so long Trump had to wait for the uproar to die down before he could start his speech.
Woods stood proudly close to him, wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom that Trump awarded him in his first term along with his suit and sneakers.
‘Is there anybody like our Tiger,’ Trump gushed, describing the golfer as ‘incredible.’
Woods was just as effusive.
‘It’s an honor to be here. It’s honor to be here with you, Mr. President,’ he told Trump.
Vanessa has had a wild dating life – having previously been linked to a slew of interesting characters from a Latin gang member to a Saudi prince.
She and Don Jr. first met at a fashion show in 2006 in the early 2000s, per The New York Times.
The pair later welcomed five children: Kai Madison, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe.
In 2018, after 12 years of marriage, Vanessa filed for an uncontested divorce in New York.
