Spoiler: It’s a small world, especially in Palm Beach.
Tiger Woods has been making headlines lately—and not for golf. The 15-time major champion, who’s currently recovering from Achilles surgery, has reportedly been spending time with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. While neither Tiger nor Vanessa has confirmed the relationship, the rumors have sparked plenty of curiosity. So, who is Vanessa Trump, and how did she end up linked to one of golf’s greatest legends? Let’s dive in.
The Tiger Connection
Reports suggest that Vanessa and Tiger have been seeing each other since late 2024. While neither has publicly commented on the relationship, their connection has been hard to ignore. Vanessa and her daughter Kai were spotted with Tiger at the Genesis Invitational in February, and they also attended a TGL event in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, earlier this month.
Kai Trump, 17, is an accomplished golfer and has committed to play for the University of Miami starting in 2026. She attends the same school as Tiger’s children, Charlie and Sam Woods, adding an interesting layer to the story.
Tiger’s Love Life: A Brief Recap
Tiger’s romantic life has been a topic of public interest for years. Since his highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren in 2010, he’s been linked to several high-profile women, including skier Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman, who sued him in 2023 (the case was later dismissed).
Now, it seems Tiger may have a new companion in Vanessa Trump. Whether this is a serious relationship or simply a friendship remains unclear, but it’s yet another development in Tiger’s often scrutinized personal life.
What’s Next for Tiger?
While Tiger’s personal life continues to draw attention, his immediate focus is on recovery. After undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, he’s expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. His return to competitive golf remains uncertain, and questions about his ability to compete at the highest level persist.
