Tiger Woods’ new girlfriend has a Donald Trump connection.
The golfing legend is romantically involved with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., per a report from the Daily Mail.
Woods has reportedly been seeing Vanessa since American Thanksgiving. The pair live about 20 minutes apart, and their children go to the same school in South Florida.
Vanessa was married to Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they had five children together.

This is a potentially awkward situation, as President Donald Trump and Woods have had a cozy relationship over the years, including a recent meeting at the Oval Office. Trump also dawned the 49-year-old with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019.
Woods had a very public divorce with Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2010. They had a six-year marriage, during which time they had two children together, including their son Charlie, who, at age 16, is emerging as a star in the making in the golf world.
As for Woods’ golf career, it took a big step backward earlier in the week. The 15-time Major winner announced that he recently underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles 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,” Woods wrote. “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.
“I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.”
Woods’ latest major came back in 2019, where he was able to snap a nine-year drought, winning his fifth-career Masters Tournament. His time on the course in recent years has been limited due to a multitude of injuries.
