Tiger Woods, Vanessa Trump share embrace before golfer’s TGL return

Vanessa Trump had a front-row seat to the action as she watched boyfriend Tiger Woods’ long-awaited golf return in the TGL Finals in Palm Beach on Tuesday.

The former model, who is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., and the golf legend, 50, had a moment together inside the stadium, sharing a hug and a kiss, before his Jupiter Links GC lost to the Los Angeles Golf Club.

Vanessa, 48, and her daughter, Kai — a rising amateur golfer and University of Miami commit — were seen clapping and cheering for Woods while in the stands at SoFi Center.

The couple shared another moment after the loss.

Woods made his season debut Tuesday night after he underwent lumbar disk replacement surgery in October.

He also had surgery for a ruptured left Achilles last March.

He has not played in a regular event since the British Open at Royal Troon in 2024.

After the TGL Finals loss, Woods explained that he’s pushing to play in next month’s Masters.

“I’ve been trying. Just this body is – it doesn’t recover like it did when it was 24, 25. It doesn’t mean I’m not trying,” said Woods, who is a five-time Masters champion. “I’ve been trying for a while. I’ve had a couple bad injuries here over the past years that I’ve had to fight through and it’s taken some time.

“But I keep trying. I want to play. I love the tournament. I’ve loved being there since I was 19 years old. It’s meant a lot to me and my family over the years. I’m going to be there either way with The Loop that’s going up there, as well as the Champions Dinner.”

Woods was asked about when he’ll make a decision: “I don’t know, we’ll see how it goes. I’ll be practicing playing at home this week and keep trying to make progress.”

The obvious difference between the indoor, video-enhanced TGL and the Masters is the stress put on Woods’ body by walking the 7,000-plus, hilly yards of Augusta.

Vanessa and Kai have supported Woods and attended a number of recent golf events.

The trio was seen posing for photos together at the 2026 Genesis Invitational last month.

The 15-time major champion hard-launched his relationship with Trump in an Instagram post last March.

The Post confirmed at the time that the two were taking things slow after their friendship blossomed into “something more.”
