Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, by sharing two photos on social media with the caption: “Love is in the air.”

Vanessa, who was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years, was seen alongside Woods and her daughter, Kai, at Torrey Pines in San Diego, where the golf legend hosted the Genesis Invitational.

Seventeen-year-old Kai attends The Benjamin School, the same institution as Woods’s children, Sam and Charlie. She recently participated in a high-profile junior golf event alongside Charlie.

Woods expressed his happiness in his social media post, writing:

“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.”

He also requested privacy, adding:

“At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

One of the images posted shows the couple posing together, while another captures a relaxed moment in a hammock, with Vanessa’s arm draped over Woods.

Relationship Rumors Confirmed

Speculation about their relationship had been circulating for weeks, but Woods, known for keeping his personal life private, had not addressed it until now.

His decision to go public is similar to his 2013 announcement with Lindsey Vonn when the couple shared their own photos to counter intrusive media attention.

At the time, Woods explained that doing so would “limit the ‘stalkarazzi’ and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us.”

He also previously expressed concerns about paparazzi creating unsafe situations for his children, believing that sharing his own images would reduce the demand for unauthorized photos.

Woods’s Private Dating History

Woods, who shares two children with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, has generally kept his romantic relationships out of the spotlight.

His most recent public relationship with Erica Herman ended in 2022. Their breakup was contentious, but Herman later dropped the lawsuits she had filed against Woods and the trust that owned his South Florida home, where she had been living.

Vanessa, 47, was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018. The former couple shares five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.

Woods, 49, has a long-standing relationship with former President Donald Trump, having played golf with him multiple times.

In 2019, Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, recognizing his achievements in golf.

Earlier this year, Woods also visited the White House to discuss the future of professional golf, including the impact of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour.

Injury Setback

Woods’s announcement about his relationship comes shortly after he revealed that he ruptured his left Achilles tendon, an injury that will rule him out of the Masters and likely keep him sidelined for the remainder of the year.

Joaquin Niemann continued his red-hot form on the LIV Golf circuit, securing his second win in three tournaments with a commanding performance in Singapore.

Meanwhile, Australia’s Lucas Herbert saw his hopes of a maiden LIV Golf victory crumble during the final round at Sentosa Golf Club.

Niemann, the 26-year-old Chilean star, delivered a flawless six-under 65 on Sunday, the only bogey-free round of the day.

His dominant display saw him finish at 17-under 196, five shots clear of his nearest rival, Brooks Koepka, who matched Niemann’s final-round 65. Koepka, last year’s Singapore winner, was the only player to come close to challenging Niemann.

“Today was one of those days,” said Niemann, who also triumphed at LIV Golf Adelaide a month ago. “Everything went my way.” Niemann’s victory was all but sealed after he carded five birdies on the front nine, a start he credited with settling his nerves. “Yeah, I was a little bit nervous, you’re always nervous before a round about what’s going to happen,” he said. “It really kind of freed me up for the rest of the round, starting with a birdie on the first hole, and then being able to birdie the third and the fourth. Because of that start, I was able to be really, really free for the whole round.”

With this win, Niemann now leads the LIV Golf individual points standings, putting him in prime position to earn an exemption into the US Open if he maintains his form over the next few months.

Herbert’s Struggles and Ripper GC’s Disappointment

For Lucas Herbert, the final round was a stark contrast to Niemann’s brilliance. The 29-year-old Australian, who started the day tied for third, struggled to find his rhythm, carding a three-over 74 to finish tied for 14th at five under.

Herbert’s round was marred by six bogeys, derailing any chance of a late charge.

Herbert’s Ripper GC teammates also endured a tough day. Captain Cameron Smith shot a 72 to finish tied for 19th at four under, while Matt Jones carded a 71 to end the tournament at level par (tied-32nd).

Marc Leishman struggled the most, finishing nine over after a 72, leaving him tied for 51st. As a team, Ripper GC finished 10th in the 13-team standings, a far cry from their championship-winning form last year.

Fireballs GC Claim Team Victory

Despite their individual struggles, the team event saw Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC claim their third consecutive tournament win. The Spanish-led squad overcame an eight-shot deficit at the start of the day, even as Garcia battled bronchitis.

Their resilience and strong team performance highlighted the depth and determination within the Fireballs lineup.

Niemann’s victory in Singapore cements his status as one of LIV Golf’s standout performers this season, while Herbert and Ripper GC will look to regroup and bounce back in their next outing.

For now, the spotlight remains firmly on Niemann, whose sizzling form shows no signs of cooling down.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL – After firing a record-tying 62 on Friday, Justin Thomas emphasized the importance of attitude and focus at the Players Championship.

On Saturday, those qualities will be put to the test as strong winds sweep across TPC Sawgrass.

A Tough Day Ahead at TPC Sawgrass

As players woke up to palm trees swaying in the wind, it was clear that Saturday’s round would be a mental and physical battle.

With steady 20 mph winds and stronger gusts expected, navigating one of the tour’s tightest courses, where water hazards lurk everywhere, will require precision, patience, and creativity.

Thomas, who bounced back from an opening-round 78 to move into a tie for 31st at 4-under, is embracing the challenge.

“I got excited early in the week when I saw the forecast,” Thomas said. “I love playing in these conditions. You’ve got to be creative, and it’s just tough.”

Players React to the Wind Challenge

Rickie Fowler (T-17): “I love playing in the wind. You can’t fake it, and especially at this course, you can’t fake it even without wind. It’ll be a big test—not just for controlling the golf ball but also for managing emotions. You won’t play perfect golf in 30 mph winds, so you have to accept the challenge.”

Rory McIlroy (T-4): “It’s important to flight the ball low and keep it under the tree line. Once it gets above, the wind can really take control. I enjoy this kind of challenge—hitting different shots, controlling ball flight, and being creative. I’ve improved in that aspect over the last few years.”

Scottie Scheffler (T-17): “It’ll be very difficult. At courses like the Open Championship, you can keep the ball low, but here, you have to get it airborne. The fairways are soft, so it’s all about controlling spin and making solid contact. At times, it might feel like you’re just guessing with the wind.”

Billy Horschel (T-11): “The next two days are going to be one hell of a challenge. When the wind is this strong, even quality shots don’t always get rewarded. It’s one of those times where you have to accept the conditions—some great shots will turn out well, while others could end up in terrible spots.”

Sunday’s Forecast: More Wind and Possible Storms

As if Saturday’s winds weren’t enough, Sunday could bring even more trouble.

Forecasts predict strong winds once again, but the bigger concern is the potential for scattered thunderstorms, which may arrive right around the time the final groups tee off.

With unpredictable conditions looming, will the tournament adjust tee times to avoid delays? That remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the 2025 Players Championship is shaping up to be a true test of resilience and adaptability.
