Legendary golfer Tiger Woods has officially confirmed that he is in a relationship. On Sunday, he shared a sweet post on social media revealing that he is dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump.
Tiger Woods Is Now in a Relationship
Tiger Woods, 48, made the announcement on both Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). In his post, he shared cosy photos with Vanessa Trump and added a heartfelt caption that read,
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
This clearly confirms that the two are now a couple. According to reports, they have been dating for at least a year.
Who Is Vanessa Trump?
Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., the son of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The two divorced in 2018. Vanessa has a daughter named Kai, who is also making a name for herself in the golf world.
A Family Bonded by Golf
Interestingly, both Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, are young golfers. Kai has committed to play for the University of Miami, while Charlie has already played alongside his father in several tournaments. The two kids recently played in the same event, showing how close both families have become.
Tiger was also seen with Kai at the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Vanessa and her daughter Kai attended a TGL match last month — a golf league co-founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Tiger Woods’ Past Relationships
Tiger Woods has had a few well-known relationships in the past. He was married to Elin Nordegren, and together they have two children: Charlie and Sam. After their divorce, he dated Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and later Erica Herman. His breakup with Herman attracted media attention due to lawsuits and public controversies.
Despite their past, Woods and Nordegren now peacefully co-parent their kids.
Injury Update: Woods’ 2025 Season at Risk
Apart from his relationship update, Tiger Woods also revealed that he recently had surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, which he got while training at home. This serious injury may keep him out for the entire 2025 golf season.
Since 2020, Woods has played in only 18 events, and his best performance in a major tournament was a tie for 38th at the 2020 Masters.
Tiger Woods has turned a new page in his personal life with Vanessa Trump, and their relationship seems strong and filled with shared interests — especially golf. With their children also involved in the sport, it looks like both families have blended well.
As Woods recovers from his injury and takes time off golf, it’s clear that family and personal happiness are becoming more important to him than ever before.
