Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump’s bond has reportedly deepened following a challenging year for both of them, making their relationship “stronger than ever,” as stated by a source. Woods had a run-in with the law due to a DUI in March, which led him to seek treatment in Switzerland. At the same time, Trump publicly disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis in April.
The source revealed that they’re quite serious about one another and envision a future together. While marriage has come up in their conversations, there’s no indication that a proposal is imminent.
“Facing tough times together has really solidified their connection,” the source explained further. “It’s one thing to enjoy good moments, but seeing how each other copes during adversity has been telling.”
They’ve both had a lot to deal with over the past year and have heavily relied on each other for support.
At 48, Trump feels “very safe and supported” with the 50-year-old golf icon, and their families have reportedly grown close, which is nice. Woods shares a daughter, Sam, and a son, Charlie, with his ex-wife, model Elin Nordegren.
Meanwhile, Trump was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they have five children. The 19-year-old daughter, Kai, who is a freshman at the University of Miami and plays on the women’s golf team, has been spotted with Woods multiple times this year.
According to the source, their families have meshed together quite seamlessly, with Kai adoring Woods and Trump getting along well with his kids, too. It seems that they all genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
Recently, Trump proclaimed she is cancer-free, a little over six months after her initial diagnosis. This announcement came through a video shared on Kai’s Instagram. Back in June, she mentioned recovering from surgery and gearing up for further treatment.
Importantly, the source indicated that Woods was a constant presence for Trump during her cancer journey, and they’ve celebrated her good news in private since she found out she was cancer-free.
In return, Trump showed support for Woods following his DUI arrest and his stay at a treatment facility, even attending his court appearance in September when he accepted a plea deal that downgraded his DUI charge to reckless driving.
The couple made their relationship official in March 2025.
