Golf legend Tiger Woods and former model Vanessa Trump have sparked intrigue with their recent appearances together at high-profile golf events.
According to Daily Mail, the 49-year-old professional golfer and Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, 47, have been secretly dating since Thanksgiving.
The pair, who both reside in Florida's affluent Palm Beach area approximately 20 minutes apart, were spotted together at a golf tournament last month.
Their children, including Vanessa's eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods' children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the prestigious Benjamin School, where annual tuition costs $38,595.
A source close to the couple provided insight into their developing romance, stating:
Tiger and Vanessa have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving. She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They're not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week. They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They're sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.
The relationship has reportedly received acknowledgment from the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa's children with Don Jr. Their connection appears to have strengthened through their children's shared interests and educational environment.
The families have shown increasing signs of closeness in recent months. At February's PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, Kai Trump was photographed wearing attire from Woods' clothing line. Vanessa also accompanied her daughter to watch a round of TGL, the innovative golf league created by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
President Trump and Woods maintain their own relationship, having played golf together last month. This complex web of connections has created an interesting dynamic between the Woods and Trump families, particularly as Don Jr. has moved on with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson following his split from former fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Woods' burgeoning romance comes at a challenging time in his professional career. The 15-time major winner recently suffered a significant setback when he ruptured his Achilles tendon while preparing for a comeback at his Florida home.
Following surgery on Tuesday, he will miss the upcoming Masters tournament, though doctors expect a full recovery.
The injury occurred when Woods experienced a sharp pain in his left heel during practice. This latest medical challenge adds another chapter to the golfer's history of physical setbacks that have impacted his legendary career.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump's relationship represents an unexpected connection between two prominent families in American public life. Their romance, which began in late 2024, has developed quietly in Florida's exclusive Palm Beach community, where both maintain residences and share connections through their children's education and social circles.
As Woods faces new challenges in his professional career, including recovery from his recent Achilles injury, this personal relationship continues to evolve away from the public spotlight, though their combined presence at golf events suggests a gradual emergence into more public view.
