It’s nearly spring, which means love is in the air and also, apparently, on the golf course. On Thursday, multiple tabloids reported that Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., has quietly been dating legendary golfer Tiger Woods for “several months.” Per the Daily Mail, the duo, who both live in Palm Beach, Florida, began seeing each other romantically around Thanksgiving and are on their way to becoming “golf’s new power couple.” Better yet, according to People, Don Jr. is “cool” with it.

If you’re thinking this pairing seems incredibly random, they actually have a lot in common. According to a source who spoke to the New York Post, Tiger and Vanessa have “gotten used to public scrutiny,” value their privacy, and are devoted parents. Tiger has two kids with ex-wife Elin Nordegren (you know, the one he famously cheated on incessantly before divorcing in 2010), and his youngest, 16-year-old Charlie, wants to go pro just like his dad. Also an avid golfer with pro ambitions? Kai Trump, Vanessa’s 17-year-old daughter with Don Jr. (they’ve been divorced since 2018). I’m sure it’s also helpful that all three kids reportedly attend the $38,595-a-year Benjamin School.

Though their love affair is news to the masses, Tiger was spotted pulling up to a Florida tournament with Kai and Vanessa last month, according to People. Plus, it seems he has the official Trumpian seal of approval: Donald Trump honored the golfer at a Black History Month reception at the White House this year.

Still, Tiger’s entanglement with the Trump family comes at an interesting time: Per Deadline, Barack and Michelle Obama’s company, Higher Ground, is currently in talks to produce a biopic about the golfer. Sounds like those development meetings are about to get a little awkward. Hopefully, Kai is at least getting some good coaching on her swing?
