Donald Trump Jr. Has A One-Word Response To Tiger Woods Dating The Mother Of His 5 Kids

According to reports, a prominent ex-wife and sports star have started a quiet romance, and her ex seems unconcerned. According to one source, he’s “cool” with it.

Tiger Woods, a golf legend, is in the news for his recent relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. The 49-year-old golfer and Vanessa, 47, have been discreetly dating since late last year, according to the Daily Mail on March 13.

They both reside in Palm Beach, Florida, only 20 minutes apart. Tiger, Charlie, and Sam Woods, as well as Vanessa’s oldest daughter, Kai Trump, are all enrolled in the exclusive Benjamin School.

Last month, witnesses spotted them together at a golf tournament, fueling speculation. A source told Daily Mail, “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 frequently share dinners and engage in discussion since they love each other’s company, the person continued. They have decided to remain out of the spotlight and are now keeping things private.

Vanessa’s ex-husband isn’t disturbed by the exposure their romance has received. Donald Jr. is “cool” with the couple dating, according to a person close to the Trump family who spoke to People. After 12 years of marriage, he and Vanessa were divorced in 2018.

According to reports, the five children of the former couple and other Trump family members are aware of Vanessa and Tiger’s connection.

Tiger and Vanessa’s relationship started out as a friendship, according to the New York Post. “But it’s not too serious, it’s heading in that direction, though,” one person said. Despite their cautious approach, a source thinks it has the potential to become into “something really serious and permanent.”

“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,” the source added.

What Tiger admires most about Vanessa is that she isn’t drawn to his popularity. “Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her,” the source explained, adding that she would date him even if he weren’t famous.

Vanessa appeared in the background in a February 16 shot taken at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California, prior to rumors of their romance resurfacing. The picture, which showed Tiger and Kai together at The Genesis Invitational’s final round, stoked more rumors about their developing relationship.

Vanessa’s appearance at the event fueled dating rumors and sparked online discussions about her resemblance to Tiger’s past partners. One commented, “Looks like his ex,” while other users pointed out that he clearly has a type, “You can tell he has a type. All of his girlfriends look alike.”

An onlooker pointed out that Tiger liked blondes. She appeared older and less blond than his typical type, someone joked.

Some responded to the relationship itself, while others concentrated on how she looked. The fact that it wasn’t on their bingo card was highlighted by another individual who thought the circumstance was unusual. It wouldn’t endure, according to a skeptic who likened Tiger’s dating history to passing through water.

Not everyone was critical, though. A supporter expressed happiness for the couple and wished them well. Another echoed the same sentiment, “Good for them. Wish them much happiness.”

After he disclosed a recent health setback, Tiger’s rumored romance with Vanessa came to light, increasing public curiosity in his private life.

Tiger revealed on X on March 11, 2025, that he needed surgery in Florida after rupturing his left Achilles tendon during training. Tiger is anticipated to fully recover from the minimally invasive procedure that was conducted by Dr. Charlton Stucken at the Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach.

Tiger thanked supporters for his support and told them that he is “back home now” and working on “recovery and rehab.” Commentators and former players on X had strong opinions on his injuries.

Former professional golfer and current analyst Arron Oberholser reacted, “Unreal. How much more can an athlete endure. Just brutal.” Golf journalist Dan Rapaport added, “Ruptured achilles is a nightmare. I’m sad.”

Another ex-golfer, Nick Leach, shared his thoughts: “As much as I love Tiger and how he’s impacted the way I view golf. It’s time to call it a career.”

ESPN’s football analyst Booger McFarland commented, “It’s not our place to tell him what to do however I hope enough is enough Body has been thru a lot. Enjoy your kids. We will cherish all 82 of the wins and in a lot of eyes He is the greatest to ever touch a club [sic].”

Tiger had microdecompression surgery in September 2024 to remove nerve impingement in his lower back, and this is his most recent ailment. Dr. Sheeraz Qureshi of the Hospital for Special Surgery carried out the operation.

At the time, Tiger shared on X, “The surgery went smoothly, and I’m hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season.” He was eager to start rehab and return to his normal activities, especially golf.

Even prior to his two surgeries, Tiger’s physical difficulties were apparent despite his tenacity. He discussed his performance in an interview with The Guardian in July 2024.

“I loved it, I’ve always loved playing major championships. I just wish I was sharper physically,” he admitted. “Obviously it tests you mentally, physically and emotionally, and I just wasn’t as sharp as I needed to be. I was hoping to find it somehow, but I just never did.”

He was dealing with personal loss in addition to his physical difficulties. After his mother, Kultida Woods, passed away, he pulled out of a tournament at Torrey Pines just one month before to his left Achilles tendon injury.

“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready. I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss,” Tiger said in a statement on February 10.

He expressed gratitude to everyone for their warmth and support since the death of his mother. Tiger had earlier declared on X that Kultida had died on February 4.

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable,” Tiger said. “She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.”

Kultida, a Thai woman, was there all the time during her son’s illustrious career. She witnessed and cheered Tiger’s TMRW Golf League (TGL) debut prior to her passing.

Tiger’s mother’s love and fortitude had a profound effect on everyone who knew her, even other golfers. Legendary golfer Fred Couples honored Kultida on X, recalling her as a lively figure.

Beyond the sidelines, Kutilda’s impact shaped every aspect of Tiger’s playing, including a daring custom that would come to characterize him: wearing a red shirt on Sundays.

“My mom thought, that being born a Capricorn, that red was my power color,” Tiger once said. “And so, in some of the junior golf events in So Cal, I would wear red. And I won.” Wanting to test her belief, he deliberately switched to blue for other tournaments—only to be proven wrong.

“I didn’t win,” Tiger admitted. “And so I then switched to red, and I had a lot more success wearing red.” Realizing the pattern, he eventually made a deal with his mother — he would reserve red for the final round of big events instead of wearing it every day.

Kultida accepted the compromise. “She said, ‘Fine. Just wear it the last day,'” Tiger shared. From then on, his mom’s belief became a lasting tradition, one he carried into the biggest moments of his career.

Tiger continues to live up to the ideals his mother taught him, which helped mold him into the champion the world knows today, even as he grieves this terrible loss.

In addition to paying tribute to his mother, Tiger also reminisced on the love she had for her grandchildren, Sam and Charlie, and thanked them for their support during this trying time.
