Vanessa Trump posts supportive message after boyfriend Woods's arrest
Tiger Woods attends the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club in February 2026 (Mike Mulholland) Vanessa Trump, former daughter-in-law of US President Donald Trump, offered a supportive message to boyfriend Tiger Woods on Friday after the golf superstar's driving under the influence arrest. Vanessa Trump shared a photo of herself and Woods relaxing in a hammock to her Instagram feed with the caption "love you" and a couple of heart emojis. Woods and Trump, who divorced Donald Trump Jr.
in 2018 after a 13-year marriage, had revealed their romance in simultaneous social media posts in March of 2025. At that time, the famously private Woods wrote on X "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side," in a caption to photos of the couple -- one of which was the photo Vanessa Trump used on Friday to reaffirm her support. Woods, 50, was arrested on March 27 on suspicion of DUI after clipping a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck and rolling his vehicle on a residential road near his Florida home.
A breathalyzer test cleared Woods of driving under the influence of alcohol, but he refused a urine analysis and officers at the scene determined he was impaired by an unknown substance. Police found two hydrocodone painkiller pills on Woods, who told deputies he takes "a few" prescription medications. Woods, who has undergone multiple back operations and surgeries on severe leg injuries he suffered in a 2021 California car crash, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to DUI.
But he issued a statement saying he was "stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. " That decision means Woods won't play in or attend the upcoming Masters tournament at Augusta National, where he is a five-time champion. The 15-time major champion hasn't teed it up in a top-level golf event since the 2024 British Open.
He has become a key figure shaping plans to revamp the US PGA Tour schedule, but the PGA of America announced on Wednesday he will not captain the 2027 US Ryder Cup team. Martin County Court judge Darren Steele on Wednesday granted Woods's request to leave the country to seek treatment. In his motion to travel Woods's attorney Douglas Duncan cited the golfer's urgent need for an "intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program" as well as privacy from media and public scrutiny.
