Tiger Woods’ unexpected romance with Don Jr.’s ex-wife has already sparked a media firestorm—but it’s President Trump’s next move that’s raising the real eyebrows. Just days after the relationship went public, Trump made a gesture so subtle, yet so symbolic, that insiders are still debating its meaning. Was it disapproval? Strategy? A silent power play? The timing couldn’t be stranger—and it’s turning a headline romance into a full-blown family saga. For many, **the real story is just begi…

Tiger Woods has sensationally started dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Woods, 49, and Vanessa Trump, 47, who both live in Florida, have been together since Thanksgiving and are quickly becoming golf’s new power couple.

Four sources confirmed to DailyMail.com that the pair are an item.

They live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month.

Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods’ children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School.

Other members of the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa and Don Jr.’s children, are aware they are an item, one source said.

A source said: ‘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.’

Vanessa filed for an uncontested divorce from Don Jr. on March 15, 2018 in New York.

Since they officially split she has not had a high-profile relationship.

Don Jr. has remained a close adviser to his father and helped take over much of the business.

Kai Trump and Charlie Woods are both aspiring golfers with sights set on turning professional.

The two families appear to have become increasingly close.

Last month, at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California, they were pictured arriving together.

Kai, who committed to playing golf at the University of Miami next year, wore an outfit from Woods’ clothing line.

In February, Vanessa took Kai to watch a round of the TGL, the golf league created by Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Meanwhile, President Trump met up with Woods for a round of golf last month.

But Woods’ golf career suffered a major setback on Monday when it was revealed he had ruptured his Achilles tendon.

The 15-time major winner was preparing for his latest comeback at home in Florida when he felt a ‘sharp pain’ in his left heel.

He underwent surgery on Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery, but is ruled out of the Masters next month.

 After his divorce from Vanessa, Don Jr. had a long-term relationship and engagement with former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is now President Trump’s Ambassador to Greece.

But in September, DailyMail.com exclusively published images of Don Jr. in southern Florida with West Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.

By December, Don and Guilfoyle’s relationship was over and he began publicly dating Anderson after his father’s 2024 election win.

Sources say that Don Jr. and Anderson are aware that his ex-wife is now dating Woods.

While no longer together, Vanessa and Don Jr. are often in the same room due to their five shared children or because of events for President Trump.

After news broke that Don Jr. was seeing Anderson romantically, tensions are said to have emerged between the socialite and her boyfriend’s ex-wife.

Anderson and Vanessa were once friends before she began dating her ex-husband.

According to those in southern Florida circles, Anderson no longer feels there is as much ill-will now that Vanessa is dating Tiger.
