Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have been secretly dating for several months, according to multiple reports.

The golf legend, 49, and the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., 47, began their relationship around Thanksgiving, the Daily Mail and People have reported.


Four sources confirmed the news to the Mail, noting the couple live just 20 minutes apart in Florida's Palm Beach area.

The pair have kept their relationship largely private, avoiding public appearances together.

They were, however, spotted at California's PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines last month, accompanied by Vanessa's 17-year-old daughter Kai.

Woods has also recently spent time with former President Donald Trump, joining him for a round of golf and appearing alongside him at a White House event recognising Black History Month.

"She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They're not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week," one source told the newspaper.

The couple prefer to keep their relationship low-key, according to insiders.

"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," the source added.

Their connection appears to be strengthening despite Woods' recent personal challenges.

The relationship has reportedly become something of a family affair, with Woods meeting the former president for golf last month.

Woods' children attend the same £29,000-a-year school as Vanessa's daughter Kai.

Vanessa's other four children are also said to be aware of their mother's relationship with the golf superstar.

Vanessa Trump filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr. in 2018 after 12 years of marriage.

According to People magazine, her ex-husband is reportedly "cool" with her new relationship with Woods.

Donald Trump Jr. has moved on with his own romantic life since the split.

He was previously engaged to Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, but that relationship ended.

This injury will likely keep him out of the Masters next month.

Medical experts suggest he may miss all tournaments for the remainder of the year.

Adding to his difficulties, Woods' mother, Kultida, died last month.

The loss prompted him to withdraw from the Genesis Invitational as he grieved.
