Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump Are Dating: ‘It's a Good Match’

 March 15, 2025

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have found romance.

According to Page Six, Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump, both fixtures in public scrutiny, have commenced a relationship since Thanksgiving 2024, with sightings of the new couple at various public events boosting confirmations of their bond.

This relationship comes to light as both Woods, a renowned golfer, and Vanessa, previously married to Donald Trump Jr., navigate life under the public eye with grace and mutual understanding about maintaining privacy.

The Connection Deepens Amid Shared Interests

Vanessa Trump, aged 47, and Tiger Woods, aged 49, seem to cherish their private moments together, often engaging in low-key activities such as home dinners. This privacy preference reflects their mutual approach to handling fame.

Residing in Florida, the couple lives just 20 minutes apart. Their connection is further solidified through their children's shared educational ties in Palm Beach, where Vanessa’s daughter Kai and Woods' children, Sam and Charlie, attend the same school.

An insider noted the pairing's compatibility, stating, "They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny. They both know how to keep their private life private. They’re both parents."

Approaching Their Relationship with Caution

The relationship between Woods and Trump is progressing steadily, though sources emphasize that the couple is taking things slowly. They began their journey as friends, fostering a bond that gradually bloomed into romance.

Despite their high-profile statuses, Vanessa's indifference towards Woods' fame appears to play a pivotal role in their connection. An insider revealed, "She’s not starstruck by him; she’d date him even if he weren’t famous. Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her … We’ll see where it goes."

The emotional groundwork laid down by their friendship has allowed them to navigate their budding romance away from the limelight, observing each other's boundaries and sharing life experiences as parents and public figures.

Low-Key Lifestyles and a Shared Love for Golf

Vanessa and her daughter Kai's interest in golf bridges a unique connection with Woods, who has been seen with them at a golf tournament in Florida. This common interest may have been a catalyst in bringing them closer.

An insider elaborated on their relationship dynamics: "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,” said the insider.

This cautious approach also extends to Vanessa occasionally spending nights at Woods' residence on Jupiter Island, further showcasing the gradual intensification of their relationship.

Previous Relationships and Handling Public Attention

Both Woods and Vanessa have faced significant public attention in their previous relationships. Woods' divorce from Elin Nordegren in 2010 and his legal entanglements with ex-girlfriend Erica Herman in 2023, contrast with Vanessa's high-profile marriage to Donald Trump Jr., which ended in 2018. Vanessa's past includes relationships with well-known figures such as Leonardo DiCaprio and a Saudi prince, adding to her familiarity with public life and scrutiny.

As they continue to navigate their relationship, sharing similar life values and approaches to privacy, Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are crafting a partnership grounded in mutual respect and understanding. This connection, deepening through shared experiences and interests, reflects a mature approach to handling life in the spotlight while maintaining a strong bond behind closed doors.
