WASHINGTON – Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of his generation, confirmed on March 23 that he is in a relationship with Ms Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Mr Donald Trump Jr.

In a post on X that announced their relationship, Woods also included a pair of photos, one showing them standing side by side and another with them lying together.

“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” Woods, 49, wrote. “At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

Ms Trump, 47, was married to US President Donald Trump’s eldest child from 2005 to 2018 and they had five children together.

Woods was previously married to Swede Elin Nordegren, but they divorced in 2010 less than a year after the golfer became embroiled in an infidelity scandal that rocked the sports world.

The 15-time major champion has been involved in other high-profile relationships since, including with American skiing great Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman, the latter of which ended in a since-dropped lawsuit that claimed Woods unfairly evicted her from the home she once shared with the golfer.
