How Donald Trump feels about Tiger Woods dating his former daughter-in-law
Tiger Woods has been dating Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of US President Donald Trump, since the end of last year, with the relationship still said to be 'very casual'
The romance between Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump, once married to Donald Trump Jr. , seems to have captured the imagination of the public, raising questions about the former President's reaction. Vanessa was married to Trump Jr between 2005 and 2018.
The whispers of a connection between Tiger and Vanessa started gaining momentum in the latter part of 2024, eventually reaching the ears of the public earlier this year.
Insiders told People that their mutual appreciation for golf and their kids' passion for the sport has played cupid, though they stressed the budding romance is still "very casual".

Both Vanessa and Tiger watch with pride as their children, Kai, 17, and Charlie, 16, respectively, rise within the golf ranks, exhibiting discipline and promise in their game. A source confided to the magazine: "Their kids are going places in golf and both very disciplined about the sport. They have that in common."
Amid speculations, some wondered if Tiger's closeness to Trump’s former daughter-in-law might stir unrest within golf enthusiast Donald Trump's circle. Yet, reports suggest that the ex-President bears no ill will, reportedly remaining "cool" about the duo's companionship.
Vanessa, whose past involves modelling and acting careers, has often found her love life under the spotlight due to associations with recognizable names. A second informant implied to People: "Vanessa has always gone for guys who are either well-known or have something big going for them."
However, despite her affinity for notable partners, Vanessa is far from seeking attention. "She is comfortable with that, but she's not a woman who wants to be in the limelight. She is not a shrinking violet but is discreet and smart and a good mother. That has come first in her life."
Golf enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating whether the strained ties will impact Woods' campaign to mend the divisive landscape of professional golf, amid the ongoing feud between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
Earlier in the year, Woods, paired with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, had an audience with former President Trump at the White House to deliberate on this very tension.

Reflecting on that significant summit, a statement released afterward proclaimed: "We have just concluded a constructive working session at the White House with President Trump and H.E. Yasir Al-Rumayyan. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, we have initiated a discussion about the reunification of golf. We are committed to moving as quickly as possible and will share additional details as appropriate."
The declaration further underscored a shared commitment towards the sport, emphasizing, "We share a passion for the game and the importance of reunification. Most importantly, we all want the best players in the world playing together more often and are committed to doing all we can to deliver that outcome for our fans."
