Tiger Woods Confirms Relationship with Vanessa Trump: 'Love is in the Air'

Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, making it Instagram and X official on Sunday. The golf legend, who has been no stranger to high-profile relationships, shared a heartfelt post that left no room for interpretation: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" he wrote, alongside cozy photos of the couple. He added a request for privacy for those close to them as they embark on their journey together.

Vanessa Trump, notably the former daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, was married to Donald Trump Jr. until their separation in 2018. According to sources, the pair has been quietly dating for at least a year, making this announcement less of a surprise for those in the know.

Interestingly, their families seem to share more than just love for the couple. Woods' son, Charlie, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, are both competitive golfers. Kai has already committed to playing for the University of Miami, while Charlie has been making waves alongside his father in tournaments like the U.S. Open qualifiers. The two even competed at the same junior golf event last month. A family that golfs together...

Woods and Vanessa were also spotted cheering on Kai at the Genesis Invitational and attending a TGL match, a league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.

This isn’t Woods’ first foray into a high-profile romance. After his public split from Elin Nordegren, the mother of his children, he was linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in the 2010s and later Erica Herman, a relationship that ended with a headline-grabbing legal dispute.

Meanwhile, Woods also shared some personal news earlier this week: he recently underwent surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, an injury sustained while training at home. This setback jeopardizes his 2025 golf season, adding another layer of uncertainty to his already sporadic appearances on the course. Since 2020, Woods has participated in just 18 events, with his best major finish being a tie for 38th at the 2020 Masters.

While Woods’ golf future remains unclear, his relationship status seems to be anything but. With Vanessa Trump by his side and both families showing a shared passion for the game, this could be a new chapter for the golfing legend. Here’s hoping they find fairways and greens, both on and off the course.
