Report: Tiger Woods 'quietly dating' Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, for several months

Tiger Woods recently was in the news for having surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon. The greatest to ever do it is on the road to recovery, after dealing with yet another brutal injury. But he does have some good news, the legendary golfer has recently found some new love in his life. Woods has been ‘quietly dating’ Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump, Jr. for several months, according to a report in People Magazine.

Vanessa and Donald, Jr. were married for 12 years, before she filed for divorce in 2018. Vanessa Trump is currently 47 years old, and Tiger Woods is 49.

“They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, they share a lot of the same values,” a source said before noting that the golfing legend has “always tried to date girls who just weren’t right for him.”

Vanessa Trump and her daughter Kai Trump, recently watched a TGL match last month, which was founded by Woods and Rory McIlory. Kai Trump has committed to play golf at the University of Miami.

Tiger Woods has surgery on ruptured Achilles tendon

Tiger Woods announced he ruptured his achilles during his ramp up in training. The 15-time major champion was gearing up for, likely, a limited 2025 schedule that would include major tournaments.

“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,” Woods said in a statement. “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.”

Woods’ doctor also released a statement. The golfing legend is expected to make a full recovery.

“The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,” Dr. Stucken said.

Woods, 49, has dealt with numerous injuries throughout his career but has been able to recover and return to form, usually. But since 2021, when Woods was hospitalized after a single car collision where he suffered compound fractures in each leg, age and injuries have seriously caught up.
