Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump went public with their relationship in March, but have kept their romance away from the limelight since – but Donald Trump has given his views on the couple
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump turned heads within their inner circles when they went public with their romance in March. Woods is currently on the mend with an Achilles injury, which has sidelined him from PGA Tour events, and took to Instagram and X earlier this year to announce his relationship with Vanessa, writing: “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.”
Vanessa was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., which could have complicated Woods’ relationship with the President of the United States and his family.
The 15-time major winner has previously played golf with Donald Sr. and discussed the PGA Tour’s truce talks with LIV Golf. Thankfully, though, the President saw no problem with him dating his former daughter-in-law.
Donald Trump Sr
Speaking from the White House at the end of March, Donald Sr said: “I love Tiger and I love Vanessa. Tiger actually called me a few months ago.
“I have a very special relationship with Tiger. He’s a fantastic guy. I said Tiger that’s good. I’m very happy for both…They (Donald Jr and Vanessa) had a great relationship.
“I happen to think the relationship with my son was hurt very badly with the witch hunt. ‘Russia, Russia, Russia.’ All the c— they put Don through. Vanessa and Don have a great relationship. Five great children. They broke up quite a while ago, which to me was very sad.”
Donald Trump Jr
Despite splitting from his ex-wife, Donald Jr seems fine with her new romance with Woods, with a report from PEOPLE sharing that the President’s son is “cool” with Vanessa finding love again.
The former couple share five kids together, with Kai Trump keen to carve out her own niche in the world of golf. Competing at the prestigious Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, both Kai and Tiger’s son, Charlie Woods, showcased their skills.
Sam and Charlie Woods
Along with Charlie, Woods also has a daughter named Sam, who is pursuing a career in soccer rather than on the greens and fairways. Both of Woods’ children appear happy that their dad is courting Vanessa, after a Daily Mail source claimed: “She likes the kids; they like her.”
Elin Nordegren
The mother of Tiger’s children, Elin Nordegren, split from Woods back in 2010; however, the two seem to still be on civil terms. With regards to Elin’s reaction to the relationship between Tiger and Vanessa, the insider added: “There was really no reason for any drama with Elin.
“It was more of a call, so she didn’t learn about it in the news. Tiger knew it was going to get out eventually, so he had to make the phone call to Elin before his love life ended up in the newspapers again.
“He’s made this call before about other women – but never like this…Her response at first was like, ‘Seriously? A Trump? For real?’ She was more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.”
