Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have sparked romance rumors, and sources now confirm 

that the two are indeed an item. While the relationship is still in its early stages, insiders suggest it’s steadily moving toward something more serious. Both Woods, 49, and Trump, 47, reportedly started as friends before their bond evolved into something deeper.

A source close to the couple described their connection as natural and easy, highlighting

how much they have in common. Both are accustomed to living under the microscope of public scrutiny, know how to protect their private lives, and share the experience of raising children. The insider emphasized that their grounded personalities and mutual values make them a good match, adding that Woods has “always tried to date girls who just weren’t right for him” — but this time, things feel different.

The relationship is reportedly progressing at a comfortable, unhurried pace. The two have been seeing each other since Thanksgiving 2024, according to the Daily Mail, and while it’s still early, there’s potential for something more permanent. One source noted that Vanessa isn’t drawn to Tiger’s fame, which Woods apparently finds refreshing. “She’s not starstruck by him; she’d date him even if he weren’t famous,” the insider revealed. “Fame doesn’t interest her — that’s what he likes best about her.”

It’s unclear exactly how they met, but their lives seem to overlap in multiple ways. Both reside in Florida, just 20 minutes apart. Vanessa’s eldest daughter, Kai Trump, 17, is a passionate golfer who competes in championships and often plays with her grandfather, former President Donald Trump. Coincidentally, Kai reportedly attends the same school as Woods’ children — daughter Sam, also 17, and son Charlie, 16 — at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida. It’s entirely possible that school events or golf tournaments provided the backdrop for their initial connection.

The couple was first spotted together publicly at a local golf tournament in February, though they’ve been keeping things low-key. According to an insider, Vanessa frequently visits Tiger’s home on Jupiter Island, staying over a few nights a week but maintaining her own residence. “They’re not living together,” the source clarified. “She comes over, spends the night, and leaves in the morning — maybe a few nights a week.”

The source added that they’re enjoying spending time together without rushing into the spotlight. “They just love hanging out, having dinner, and relaxing together. They’re sticking close to home and have decided not to go public for now. Not just yet anyway.”

Neither Woods nor Trump has publicly acknowledged the relationship on social media, and their representatives have not responded to requests for comments. Both have maintained a relatively private stance when it comes to their personal lives, particularly after their highly publicized past relationships.

Woods has been single since his breakup with Erica Herman, a former manager at his flagship restaurant, with whom he had a six-year relationship. Their split in 2023 became messy, culminating in a legal battle that drew media attention. Before Herman, Woods was married to Elin Nordegren, the mother of his two children. Their marriage ended in 2010 after his infidelity scandal made global headlines.

Vanessa, meanwhile, has largely stayed out of the dating spotlight since her divorce from Donald Trump Jr. in 2018. The couple, who share five children together, had reportedly been living separate lives before the official split. Sources at the time cited Don Jr.’s frequent travel as a major point of contention, leaving Vanessa feeling isolated.

Before her marriage, Vanessa was no stranger to high-profile romances. She previously dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Saudi prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud.

Since their divorce, Don Jr. moved on with former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, though they recently ended their engagement. He is now dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. Interestingly, Anderson joined him at a pre-inauguration event that both Guilfoyle and Vanessa also attended, showing that the Trump family’s social circle remains tightly connected.

As for Woods and Vanessa, only time will tell where this relationship leads — but with their shared values, similar life experiences, and commitment to keeping things private, it looks like they might have found something truly special.
