“Seriously? A Trump? For real?” This was Tiger Woods‘ ex-wife’s reaction after Woods informed Elin Nordegren about his current relationship with Vanessa Trump. But rather than coming from a worrying situation, it was from a humorous place, as per Daily Mail.
The rumor that sent shockwaves through the golf world has now been confirmed by Woods himself.
In a bold move, the 15-time major winner took to social media to confirm suspicions of his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.
Woods posted a romantic photo with Trump on his official X handle on Sunday, captioning it, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!”
Interestingly, Tiger added, “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

The 49-year-old’s candid announcement raised many eyebrows, especially given his massive following. With 6.4 million followers on X and 3.5 million followers on his Instagram handle, Woods’ relationship reveal was met with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
Vanessa Trump, who is followed by over 65K social media users, also shared the post on her Instagram story. And fans were quick to question the seeming paradox of Woods’ request for privacy.
“Posting this…and then asking for privacy… only guarantees the opposite will happen. He knows this. So why do it?” wrote one fan, echoing the sentiments of thousands of others.
Vanessa, 47, has navigated the complexities of high-profile relationships before. Her marriage to Donald Trump Jr. in 2005 at Mar-a-Lago ended in divorce in 2008, with Don Jr.’s alleged infidelity cited as the reason.
Recently, Vanessa and her daughter Kai Trump were also spotted at Woods’ tech league TGL, in February. Not only that but the 17-year-old, who attends the same school as Woods’s son Charlie, was also seen wearing Sun Day Red at the Genesis Invitational, a PGA Tour event hosted by Tiger Woods.

Woods’ romantic history is no stranger to scrutiny. The 82-time PGA Tour winner has been linked to several women, including his ex-wife Elin Nordegren, and ex-girlfriends Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman.
Nordegren and Woods had two children together before they parted ways in 2010. Despite their divorce, Woods and Nordegren have maintained a close relationship, as evident from Tiger’s call to his ex-wife to share the news about his relationship with Trump.
