Tiger Woods confirmed his relationship with the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, publishing two images to social media in a post that said, “Love is in the air.” Woods and Vanessa Trump, who was married to Donald Trump Jr., had been seen at Torrey Pines in San Diego along with her daughter, Kai, when Woods arrived for the final round to hand out the trophy to the winner of the Genesis Invitational. He is the tournament host.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” Woods said on X, where he has 6.4 million followers. He added: “At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
Vanessa’s relations with Donald Trump Jr.
Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years. They had five children together.
Woods announced on March 11 that he ruptured his left Achilles tendon, knocking him out of the Masters and likely for the rest of the year. It was not clear what prompted Woods, who keeps his personal life fiercely private, to publish photos confirming the relationship.
It was reminiscent of 2013, when he and Lindsey Vonn both posted photos of them together to confirm they were dating. Woods said at the time he and Vonn “wanted to limit the ‘stalkarazzi’ and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us,” saying it could lead to dangerous situations involving his children. He also said their photos would devalue anything the paparazzi had.
Tiger Woods’ divorce
Woods has two children from his marriage to Elin Nordegren, who divorced him in 2010 after he had been exposed for multiple extramarital affairs. His only other public relationship was with Erica Herman, which lasted about seven years until he ended it in October 2022. It was a messy split, and Herman eventually dismissed lawsuits against Woods and the trust that owns his South Florida estate, where she had been living.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa: Their Relationship
Tiger and Vanessa reportedly started dating around Thanksgiving, based on multiple news sources. Both call Palm Beach, Florida, home and were once seen together at a golf event. Their families are connected too. Vanessa’s daughter Kai attends The Benjamin School, where Woods’ children, Charlie and Sam, also study.
Tiger Woods’ net worth
While Tiger Woods gained fame for his incredible golf skills, his wealth comes largely from his business savvy. Widely regarded as one of golf’s all-time greats, he’s said he put in a lot of effort to excel. By 1997, he was dubbed Golf’s golden boy and ranked among the highest-earning athletes ever.
His reputation took a major blow in December 2009, though, when it was revealed he’d been unfaithful to his then-wife, Elin Nordegren, with whom he has two kids, over several years. He stepped away from golf for four months, returning at the Masters in April 2010. Forbes estimates his net worth at $1.3 billion in 2025, and Golf Digest says he pulls in about $73.5 million annually from endorsements and golf.
Vanessa, meanwhile, is believed to have a net worth of around $75 million in 2025, per various media reports.
