Report: Tiger Woods allegedly wanted to keep his relationship with new girlfriend Vanessa Trump a secret, but those plans very quickly changed this past week.
Tiger Woods was allegedly forced into breaking his silence about his new relationship with girlfriend Vanessa Trump on social media this week, according a report in the Daily Mail.
Woods, 49, reportedly wanted to keep his relationship with Vanessa Trump, 47, a secret but those plans immediately changed this month after the Daily Mail broke news of his blossoming new romance with Donald Trump Jr’s ex-wife.
The 15-time major champion took to his social media channels to confirm his relationship with Vanessa following the conclusion of the Valspar Championship won by Viktor Hovland on Sunday night.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!,” wrote Woods, alongside two photos of himself with Vanessa.
“We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
While many of Woods’ most ardent fans were happy to see a smile on his face after a number of turbulent years on and off the course, others were shocked by the message since it’s not something the former World No.1 would typically ever post about his love life.
But according to a source close to the Woods camp, it’s understood his hand was forced to make an announcement after photos of him and Vanessa had already been captured by the media.
Woods’ new girlfriend was no longer a secret.
“He knew it would be a huge story when it came out,” an insider told the Daily Mail.
“And he didn’t exactly love it.
“But obviously Tiger dating a Trump is always going to make headlines, which is exactly what he wanted to avoid.”
