Golfer Tiger Woods has announced he is dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of US President Donald Trump.
Vanessa, 47, was married to Donald Trump Jr for 13 years. The pair, who have five children, divorced in 2018.
On Sunday, Woods, 49, posted pictures of Vanessa and himself on social media saying: “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.”
It is unclear what prompted the public announcement, but rumours of their relationship had been reported in gossip magazines in recent weeks.
Woods, who has won 15 major championships, is known for being guarded about his personal life after exposure of his marital infidelities and sex scandals damaged his public standing in the 2000s and affected his playing career.
He admitted himself into a sex addiction rehab clinic, and went through an acrimonious split from his first wife Elin Nordegren months later after six years of marriage. The couple have two children together.
US media outlets report that Tiger Woods’ children attend the same school as Vanessa Trump’s.
As the former wife of Donald Trump’s eldest son, Vanessa had been a regular attendee at official events involving Trump’s extended family during his first term in office.
Woods, the former world number one, is also known to have played golf with President Trump on several occasions, including last month. Trump loves golf and owns more than a dozen courses.
In February, Woods attended a meeting with Trump and Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) heads at the White House about the future of the sport’s tournaments and current division with the Saudi Arabia-LIV league.
Woods wore his Presidential Medal of Freedom, which was bestowed on him by Trump in 2019 during the president’s first term.
Woods announced an Achilles tendon injury earlier this month that has sidelined him from professional competition. He has not suggested a timeline for when he might return to the courses.
He has not competed in a PGA Tour event this season, following the death of his mother, Kultida, in February.
The new couple both have children who are junior golfers.
Kai Trump, 17, has announced her commitment to playing collegiate golf at the University of Miami in 2026.
She and Charlie Woods both played at a junior invite-only tournament in South Carolina last week.
Woods has previously announced relationships with World Cup champion ski racer Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman, his former restaurant manager.
That relationship ended badly – Herman filed law suits against Woods and his trust in 2023, which she later withdrew.
