The pair went public with their relationship on March 23, sharing intimate photos on social media. Woods posted two pictures - one showing the couple posed against a vine-covered wall and another featuring them relaxing together in a hammock.
The 49-year-old golf icon accompanied the images with a heartfelt message expressing his joy about their relationship.
New Romance Connects Golf's First Family
The relationship between Woods and Vanessa Trump, 47, began around Thanksgiving, with multiple sources confirming their connection.
Both residing in Florida's exclusive Palm Beach area, the couple lives approximately 20 minutes apart, allowing them to maintain a close relationship.
Woods shared the announcement on both Instagram and X platforms, writing:
Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts
Their relationship has already garnered support from prominent family members, including former sister-in-law Ivanka Trump, who commented supportively on the announcement post.
Family Ties and Shared Connections
The couple's relationship extends beyond their romantic connection, with their children attending the same educational institution.
Kai Trump shares The Benjamin School, a prestigious $38,595-per-year private school, with Woods' children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17.
Vanessa Trump, previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years until their 2018 separation, has maintained strong family ties throughout the transition. The mother of five has successfully co-parented with her ex-husband while building her new life in Florida.
Woods and Vanessa were recently spotted together at a golf tournament, suggesting their relationship had been developing privately before the public announcement. Their connection has brought together two prominent families in the Palm Beach community.
Kai Trump's Golf Journey
The relationship announcement coincided with a challenging moment in Kai Trump's budding golf career. The teenage golfer faced difficulties at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, an elite junior golf competition.
Struggling through the tournament, Kai experienced particular difficulty on the back nine, where she dropped 12 shots over seven holes. The challenging performance resulted in her finishing last in the 24-player girls' field, scoring 52-over for the tournament.
Despite the tournament setback, Kai's presence at recent golf events, including being spotted with Woods at the PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational event last month, suggests her continued dedication to the sport.
Moving Forward Together
The blended family dynamic appears to be developing positively, with both Woods and Vanessa Trump prioritizing their children's well-being. Their relationship represents a significant milestone for both parties, as Woods hasn't been involved in a high-profile relationship for the past two years.
The couple's decision to go public follows careful consideration and timing, coming after DailyMail.com's exclusive report about their relationship. Their announcement has generated substantial interest and support from both family members and the public.
With their children's shared educational environment and common interests in golf, the families seem well-positioned to navigate this new chapter together. The relationship highlights the interconnected nature of Palm Beach's prominent residents and their shared social circles.
