Tiger Woods, perhaps the most scrutinized golfer of his generation, has once again made headlines—this time not for winning tournaments, but for his latest romantic choice. In a plot twist no one saw coming (or maybe everyone did), Woods confirmed that he is dating Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. Because apparently, life just isn’t interesting enough without adding another layer of reality-show drama to the mix.
In a grand romantic gesture, Woods took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce his new relationship, complete with strategically staged photos. “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” he declared, as if he hadn’t just spent the last decade making headlines for a string of turbulent relationships. “At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.” Privacy? From the man who made a public spectacle of his personal life? Sure, Tiger.
Vanessa, of course, was previously married to Donald Trump’s eldest son, meaning Woods has officially entered the extended Trump orbit. What could possibly go wrong? Woods might want to keep that in mind.
This latest chapter in Woods’ personal saga joins a long list of headline-grabbing romances, from his high-profile divorce from Elin Nordegren after his infamous cheating scandal to relationships with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and ex-girlfriend Erica Herman, who later sued him (before dropping the case) over an alleged eviction from his home. As Maya Angelou wisely put it, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
