Vanessa Trump, 47, was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years. They have five children together and divorced in 2018.
Woods has won 15 major golf titles, and has had a troubled romantic history. He has kept his romantic life private after a series of blowups, including a potential sexual assault case from his ex-girlfriend Erica Herman.
He admitted himself to a sex addiction rehab clinic in 2010, the same year his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, divorced him. During his marriage to Nordegren, Woods claimed to have had sexual relations with some 120 women.
Woods has played golf several times with Vanessa Trump's ex-father-in-law, who is an avid golf fanatic and owns several courses. Vanessa Trump attended several public-facing events as a member of Trump's extended family during his first term in office.
Vanessa Trump's daughter Kai, 17, announced that she will be playing collegiate golf for the University of Miami in 2026. She played at a junior invite-only tournament with Charlie Woods, Tiger's son, in South Carolina last week.
