Tiger Woods breaks silence on his romance with Donald Trump’s ex-wife Vanessa

Tiger Woods has appeared to confirm his relationship with the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr, Vanessa.

It has been a turbulent few weeks for the 15-times Major champion who had only just begun to come to terms with the death of his mother, before sustaining another career-threatening injury.

Speculation had been rife that Woods had been dating Vanessa Trump, whose marriage with the son of the current President ended in 2018.

The pair, who have three children between them who attend the same school in Florida,have reportedly been seeing each other since November.

A source told DailyMail.com earlier this week: ‘Tiger and Vanessa have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving.

‘She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week.

‘They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.’

Woods has clearly had a change of heart, however, and went public with the relationship on Sunday evening.

Posting a picture of himself next to his new girlfriend, he wrote: ‘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.’

With his relationship now out in the open, Woods can now focus on his rehabilitation from the Achilles injury which has ruled him out of next month’s Masters at Augusta.

‘I’ve texted him as soon as it happened, he got back to me, I’ve texted him on a couple of other things – TGL, his daughter just won the state soccer thing,’ Woods’ close friend Fred Couples revealed earlier this month following confirmation of his injury setback.

‘That was before he hurt himself, he was on cloud 20. He is in great spirits for a ruptured Achilles, he really is. He’ll be fine.

‘It’s such a bummer because people think ‘when is he going to play?’. He was scheduled to play a few events, not a ton but a few events.

‘And his mother passing away would slow anyone down but he is my man and texting him is a lot of fun.’

Woods was preparing for his latest comeback at home in Florida when he felt a ‘sharp pain’ in his left heel that turned out to a devastating blow.

In a statement, Woods said: ‘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.

‘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.’
