Donald Trump might have a new golf partner in Tiger Woods after the PGA Tour legend confirmed he is dating the president’s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump.
The 49-year-old shared two photos alongside the former wife of Donald Trump Jr on social media with the caption: “Love is in the air”.
“Life is better with you by my side,” he wrote on Sunday. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
Ms Trump, 47, had been married to the president’s son for 12 years and has five children, including 17-year-old daughter Kai Trump – who is also a competitive golfer.

One photo shows the couple posing together, while another captures them in a hammock, with Ms Trump’s arm draped over Woods.
Whether this means that Woods will start wearing a MAGA cap while on the green, or teeing off with the famously golf-mad president, remains to be seen.
All we know is that Woods has a long and somewhat chequered list of former partners.
Tiger Woods’s dating timeline
Elin Nordegren (2003-2010)
Woods married the Swedish former model and nanny in 2004 after a year of dating and they had two children together.
In 2009, things unravelled following a car crash, when Woods – at around 2am – struck a fire hydrant and then hit a neighbour’s tree in Florida.
On the back of this, various women came forward to say they had been involved in affairs with Woods. He admitted multiple infidelities and Nordegren divorced him in 2010.
This resulted in Woods taking time out from golf and he did not win a major again until the 2019 Masters.
Lindsey Vonn (2013-2015)
Woods announced his relationship with the skiing champion by sharing photos “to limit the 'stalkarazzi' and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us”. The wording was very similar to the announcement that he was dating Ms Trump.
He was seen alongside Vonn for various outings and sporting events before they split in 2015.
Kristin Smith (2015-2017)
Shortly after breaking up with Vonn, Woods announced he was dating the personal stylist – and they were together for two years.
Erica Herman (2017-2022)
Woods has generally kept his private life to himself but was known to be with Herman for around five years.
Their breakup was contentious, but she later dropped lawsuits against Woods and the trust that owned his South Florida home, where she had been living.
Vanessa Trump (2025)
The announcement ended weeks of speculation, with the pair being linked thanks, in part, to Woods being friends with the president.
The golfer has been politically neutral but is now thought to be a fully fledged Republican and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Mr Trump in 2019.
Earlier this year, they also met at the White House to discuss the future of professional golf, including the impact of the Saudi-backed LIV Tour.
His new partner was married to Donald Trump Jr from 2005 to 2018, and they share five children; Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.
