The images, captured on February 16 at Torrey Pines Golf Course, show the two arriving together. They were taken just before rumors of a possible romance began circulating.
Newly resurfaced photos show Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, together at The Genesis Invitational 2025.
The images, taken on February 16, 2025, at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California, capture the two arriving during the tournament’s final round with Vanessa’s daughter, Kai.
Tiger Woods was dressed in a red polo shirt layered under a black quilted vest, paired with black pants and matching black sneakers. He accessorized with a black cap featuring a white logo and dark sunglasses.
Vanessa opted for a black zip-up jacket over a white blouse, black pants, and white sneakers. She completed her look with dark sunglasses and a black handbag.
Kai sported a casual yet polished outfit. She wore a green zip-up pullover over a white collared shirt, black cropped pants, and white sneakers. Her sunglasses were perched atop her head, and she wore a lanyard with an event credential around her neck.
The trio walked together through the venue, appearing focused as they made their way through the event grounds. One netizen shared, “He seems so boring 🥱,” while a another typed, “Leave tiger alone, he deserves some happiness.”
A third person remarked, “I’m sure it was love at first sight,” while another shared, “I feel so sorry for your kids.. how embarrassing.” Someone else shared, “This might still be arranged within themselves.”
Another person commented, “I hope that they can navigate their relationship in a way that’s best for them and their families, with privacy and respect from the public.”
As previously reported, Tiger made headlines for his new romance with Vanessa. According to the Daily Mail on March 13, the 49-year-old golfer and Vanessa, 47, have been quietly dating since late last year.
Both live just 20 minutes apart in Palm Beach, Florida. Their children — Tiger’s, Charlie and Sam Woods, and Vanessa’s eldest daughter, Kai Trump — attend The Benjamin School, a private institution. Last month, witnesses spotted them together at a golf tournament, fueling speculation.
A source told Daily Mail, “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.”
The source added that they enjoy each other’s company, often sharing dinners and conversation. For now, they are keeping things private and have chosen to stay out of the public eye.
Despite the attention surrounding their romance, Vanessa’s ex-husband isn’t bothered. A source close to the Trump family told People that Donald Jr. is “cool” with the pair dating. He and Vanessa were married for 12 years before divorcing in 2018.
Meanwhile, other Trump family members and the former couple’s five children reportedly know about Vanessa and Tiger’s relationship.
The New York Post reported that Tiger and Vanessa’s relationship began as a friendship. “But it’s not too serious, it’s heading in that direction, though,” a source mentioned. While they are taking things slowly, a source believes it could become “something really serious and permanent.”
“They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny. They both know how to keep their private life private. They’re both parents,” the source added.
What Tiger admires most about Vanessa is that she isn’t drawn to his popularity. “Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her,” the source explained, adding that she would date him even if he weren’t famous.
Vanessa’s appearance with Tiger on February 16 fueled dating rumors and sparked online discussions about her resemblance to Tiger’s past partners. One commented, “Looks like his ex,” while other users pointed out that he clearly has a type, “You can tell he has a type. All of his girlfriends look alike.”
One observer noted Tiger’s preference for blondes. Someone joked that she seemed older and not as blonde as his usual type.
While some focused on her appearance, others reacted to the relationship itself. Another person found the situation unexpected and mentioned it wasn’t on their bingo card. A skeptic predicted it wouldn’t last, comparing Tiger’s dating history to going through water.
Not everyone was critical, though. A supporter expressed happiness for the couple and wished them well. Another echoed the same sentiment, “Good for them. Wish them much happiness.”
