Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump: Golf’s New Power Couple?
Tiger Woods has sensationally started dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The 15-time major champion, 49, and Vanessa, 47, both reside in Florida and have been romantically involved since Thanksgiving. They live just 20 minutes apart in the wealthy enclave of Palm Beach and were recently spotted together at a golf tournament.
According to sources, Woods and Vanessa are enjoying each other’s company but are keeping their relationship private.
“She comes to his place on Jupiter Island a few nights a week,” a source revealed. “They love spending time together, having dinner, and enjoying each other’s company, but they’ve decided not to go public just yet.”
Their families are also becoming more intertwined. Vanessa’s eldest daughter, Kai, 17, and Woods’ children, Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend The Benjamin School, a prestigious private institution with a tuition of $38,595 per year. Other members of the Trump family are aware of the relationship.
Kai Trump and Charlie Woods are both aspiring professional golfers, further strengthening the connection between their families.
Last month, Vanessa and Kai were seen supporting Woods at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California. Kai even wore an outfit from Woods’ clothing line, a clear sign of support. In February, Vanessa also took Kai to watch a round of the TGL, the golf league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump played a round of golf with Woods last month, further highlighting the close ties between the families.

Despite his personal happiness, Woods’ golf career suffered a blow when he ruptured his Achilles tendon while preparing for a comeback. The injury, which occurred at his home in Florida, required surgery on Tuesday. He is expected to make a full recovery but will miss the Masters next month.
Vanessa Trump filed for an uncontested divorce from Don Jr. in March 2018. Since their split, she has largely stayed out of the public eye romantically. Meanwhile, Don Jr. had a long-term relationship and engagement with former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, now the U.S. Ambassador to Greece.
By September, however, Don Jr. was seen with West Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. After Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, he and Guilfoyle officially ended their relationship, and he began dating Anderson publicly.
Sources say both Don Jr. and Anderson are aware of Vanessa’s relationship with Woods. While Vanessa and Don Jr. remain connected due to their five children and political events, tensions reportedly arose between Vanessa and Anderson, who were once friends before Anderson started dating Don Jr. However, those familiar with the situation suggest that any ill feelings have eased since Vanessa began seeing Woods.
With Woods and Vanessa keeping their romance relatively low-key, the question remains—will they soon step into the public spotlight as golf’s new power couple? Only time will tell.
