Tiger Woods Is Dating Donald Trump Jr.'s Ex-Wife Vanessa Trump
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump kids are ready to show off their golf games.
A week after the golf legend’s romance with Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife was made public, his son Charlie Woods, 16, and her daughter Kai Trump, 17, will each tee off at the Junior Invitational in South Carlonia’s Sage Valley Golf Club, according to tournament listings.
The tournament, which runs from March 19 to March 22, features 36 of the top junior boys and 24 of the top girl golfers from across the world. Of course, that Kai—the eldest of Vanessa and Don Jr.’s five kids—and Tiger’s youngest with Elin Nordegren—comes as no surprise, as both have publicly been celebrated for their game.
In fact, Charlie played alongside his father during the PNC Championship in 2024. For her part, Kai committed to playing college level golf at the University of Miami in 2024—two years before her high school graduation.
The news of the competition comes after multiple outlets reported that Tiger, 49, and Vanessa, 47, have been romantically linked for several months.
E! News has previously reached out to Tiger and Vanessa's reps for comment but hasn't heard back.
Tiger—who also shares daughter Sam, 17, with Elin—and Vanessa previously crossed paths in February, when the golfer visited the White House for a Black History Month celebration, where Vanessa’s former father-in-law, President Donald Trump, praised the athlete. (Vanessa—who divorced Donald Jr. in 2018 after 13 years of marriage—also share kids Donald III, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10.)

During the 2019 Presidental Medal of Freedom ceremony, Donald celebrated Tiger's accomplishments.
"We are in the presence of a true legend—an extraordinary athlete who has transformed golf and achieved new levels of dominance," he said when he presented him with the honor "He's also a great person."
The news of Charlie’s latest competition comes as Tiger’s had to pause his own golf game. Earlier this week, the Masters champion shared that he had surgery to repair a ruptured Achillies tendon.
“As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured,” the 18-time PGA tour champion wrote on X (formally known as Twitter) March 12. “This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.”
Tiger went on to note that his doctor confirmed “the surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery.”
He added, “I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.”

Following marriages to Ivana Trump and Marla Maples, Donald Trump met third wife Melania Trump at a 1996 New York Fashion Week fete.
“It was a big fashion party that my friend organized, fashion week, and he invited me,” the native of Mesto, Slovenia recalled on a 2016 episode of On the Record With Greta Van Susteren. “That’s how we met with Donald.”
After marrying in a lavish 2005 wedding at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, they welcomed son Barron Trump the following year.
Donald Trump Jr.
Months after ended his 13-year marriage to model Vanessa Haydon in 2018, Donald Trump Jr.—Trump's eldest child with first wife Ivanka—began dating former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Having known each other for years, Guifoyle said she realized instantly the father to Kai (who made a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention) Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe was her person.
When they went on their first date, "that was it," Guilfoyle told Metropolitan Palm Beach magazine in 2022. "Sparks. In fact, we have been together from that
night on, happily ever after!”
They got engaged on New Year's Eve 2020.

Ivanka Trump
As Jared Kushner recalled in his book Breaking History: A White House Memoir, he was introduced to Ivanka Trump, the president-elect's daughter with ex Ivana, in 2007 after her father suggested they meet to discuss real estate.
“The conversation soon turned to NASCAR, New Jersey diners, and other unlikely interests that we had in common,” he wrote. “That led to a second lunch at my favorite Indian restaurant, the Tamarind Flatiron & Tea Room on Twenty-Second Street, where we talked for three hours.”
Despite a brief split, they finalized their partnership in 2009—marrying at New Jersey's Trump National Golf Club—and welcomed daughter Arabella in 2011, followed by sons Joseph in 2013 and Theodore in 2016.

Eric Trump
When North Carolina native Lara Trump was introduced to Eric Trump, the politician's younger son with ex-wife Ivana, she knew she was at the height of something.
"When I first met Eric, I did not know who his dad was," she recalled on her podcast The Right View of meeting the 6-foot-5 Georgetown University grad in 2008. "I didn't know his last name initially. I just knew I met some really tall guy out."
Married at Mar-a-Lago in 2014, they welcomed kids Luke in 2017 and Carolina in 2019. A television producer when she started dating her future husband, Lara served as a campaign advisor for Trump in 2016 and 2020 before being elected as co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March 2024.

Barron Trump
Though Barron Trump, the President's now-adult son with third wife Melania, hasn't publicly addressed his dating life, his father suggested the New York University student isn't prioritizing romance at the moment.
"I’m not sure he’s there yet," Trump said, when asked by businessman Patrick Bet-David on his PBD Podcast if the college freshman is “good with the ladies in school.”
While Trump said he didn't believe his youngest had a girlfriend, he raved, "He’s very, very smart. He’s a good student .. goes to a great school and does really well. And he’s a very nice guy."
