Tiger Woods has officially found love again after going public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.
The golf legend, who has not been in a high-profile relationship for the last two years, took to social media to share the news with his followers on Sunday evening.
Alongside two pictures of the loved-up couple, Woods wrote: ‘Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.
‘At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.’
The social media post confirmed the latest chapter in Woods’ dating history, with the golf legend having had a number of relationships in the public eye in his career.
After news of their romance broke on Sunday evening, Mail Sport has taken a look back at Woods’ past lovers and rumored flings.

LeAnn Rimes
Woods was said to have gone out ‘a few times’ with the Can’t Fight the Moonlight popstar before her marriage to Dean Sheremet in 2002.
The pair eventually called it quits, however, after Rimes’ father complained she was too young to date him. LeAnn, now 42, would have been roughly seven years younger than Tiger, now 49, at the time.
Rimes is now married to Eddie Cibrian after the pair’s controversial affair that led to them both leaving their respective marriages and tying the knot themselves in 2011.
Elin Nordegren
Woods first met Swedish model Nordegren in 2001, before proposing two years later. The couple then made it official at a lavish wedding the following year.
They welcomed daughter Sam in 2007 and son Charlie in 2009, a year prior to the infamous sex scandal that brought their marriage crashing down in shocking fashion.
Elin divorced Tiger in 2010 after six years of marriage when she discovered the golfing great was cheating on her during Thanksgiving week with a woman named Rachel Uchitel.

Two days later, a car crash outside his own Florida mansion would unearth the truth.
In the aftermath of the crash, Woods was found by police asleep in the road without shoes and socks on after Nordegren tried to smash her way into the car with a golf club.
Elin’s worst fears were then confirmed after she spotted a text on Woods’ phone while he lay unconscious, dosed up on sleeping pills. What followed was one of the most dramatic collapses of a star’s reputation across sport as a number of other women later came forward to claim they’d been intimate with him.
Among the other women that came forward was porn star Holly Sampson, who confirmed she had been ‘intimate’ with the Nike athlete after previously claiming she ‘f****d Tiger Woods’.
Not only did the scandal cost Tiger his marriage, but he also lost numerous lucrative sponsorship deals – even though Nike stood by him – and he went to rehab for sex addiction during a break from playing golf.
Lindsey Vonn
Four years later, Woods finally bounced back from that ordeal with American alpine ski racer Vonn, with the pair’s previous friendship slowly turning into something more.
They were seen out together on several occasions over the course of their unlikely romance, before parting company after three years together in 2015.
Lindsey told Entertainment Tonight after Tiger’s car crash in 2022: ‘We are friends and, of course, I’m happy that he is back and healthy.
‘And, you know, it was a tough time for him. So I am just happy that he is back with his kids.’

Kristin Smith
Woods and Smith reportedly began dating in November 2016.
In April 2017 Radar Online reported that Kristin was stopped at Palm Beach Airport with $210,634 (£150,000) on her person — a gift from Woods, she claimed.
Smith and Woods were also reportedly still dating when he was arrested in May 2017.
She was reportedly shopping in a store in Dallas, Texas when she learned that he’d been arrested after cops found him asleep at the wheel of his car in Jupiter, Florida, at about 3am ET. She’s said to have been in hysterics over the news.

It was reported that Woods had an affair with Erica Herman during his relationship with Smith
Their relationship ended some time before August 2017. It was reported that Woods had an affair with Erica Herman during his relationship with Smith.
Radar Online reported that Smith ‘suspected’ Woods was cheating, but Woods denied it.
‘Kristin suspected it, but he would always deny it by belittling Erica,’ a source told the outlet. ‘Kristin eventually caught them together. It was a big mess.’
Before dating Woods, Smith was married to former Dallas Cowboys player Gerald Sensabaugh. He is the father of Smith’s son, Isiah.
Erica Herman
Herman, who worked as the general manager at Woods’ Jupiter restaurant, started dating the golf legend in 2017.
However, originally, the pair did not make the relationship official until a short time after.
During the Presidents Cup in New Jersey back in September 2017, Herman was seen wearing a ‘player spouse’ badge, usually given to wives and girlfriends.
Soon after, Woods and Herman went public about their relationship.
She went on to support Woods in person at numerous golf tournaments, including his incredible Masters win in 2019.

After six years together, the pair ended their relationship in October 2022.
Herman filed a lawsuit against Woods, alleging the golfer said she could live at his Florida mansion until 2026 only for him to kick her out unexpectedly in 2022.
She dropped her lawsuits against the trust that owns the house in November 2023, also denying allegations made by her attorney that Woods sexually harassed her.
Before meeting Woods, Herman is said to have had a sordid past. Radar Online reported that she was known as both a ‘hard partier’ and a ‘gold digger’.
The outlet’s source also alleged that Erica has had her sights set on dating Woods for about a decade.
‘Erica’s been chasing Tiger around like a puppy for close to 10 years. I’m not sure if his wife knew, but I’m not sure how she couldn’t know. I can’t believe Tiger’s out in public with her now,’ the source said.

Vanessa Trump
The latest chapter in Woods’ dating history saw the golf legend go public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump on Sunday evening.
The announcement came 10 days after DailyMail.com exclusively broke the news that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife.
Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, who both live in Florida, have been together since Thanksgiving, DailyMail.com confirmed with four sources.
They live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month.
Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods’ children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School together.
