Shocking the Golf World: Tiger Woods Has Been Quietly Dating Vanessa Trump, Donald Jr.’s Ex-Wife, for Several Months – News

Tiger Woods has found new love with Vanessa Trump.

A source close to the Trump family confirms to PEOPLE that Woods, 49, and Trump, 47, have been quietly dating for several months.

According to the insider, her ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. is “cool” with the pair being an item.

The Daily Mail was first to report the news.

Vanessa and Donald Jr. were married for 12 years before she filed for divorce in 2018.

Woods and Trump share plenty in common. Beyond both spending a majority of their time in Florida, Trump’s daughter, Kai Trump, who she shares with her ex-husband, is a top golfer. In August, Kai, 17, committed to play for the University of Miami, Golfweek reported, and will join the team in the fall.

On Feb. 16, Woods, Vanessa and Kai were spotted arriving at a tournament in Florida together.

And on Feb. 20, the golf legend was honored at the White House by President Donald Trump during a reception honoring Black History Month.

The confirmation of Woods’ new relationship comes two days after the golfer announced that he’s ruptured his Achilles tendon. “As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured,” Woods, 49, wrote on social media.

He continued, “This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.”

It’s been a tough start to 2025 for Woods, whose mother Kultida Woods died on Feb. 4 at age 81. “It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” Woods shared on social media. “My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable.”

He continued, “She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible. She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom.”
