Tiger Woods makes surprise White House visit amid new romance with Vanessa Trump

Tiger Woods was spotted at the White House on May 8, marking his first appearance there since going public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

While the purpose of his visit remains unclear, it didn’t go unnoticed, with Sen. Jim Banks posting a photo to X, alongside Woods, and writing, “Met @TigerWoods at the White House today!”

During his visit, Woods, 49, also met with President Trump, who he's played golf with several times, according to Golf Monthly. 

The golf legend made his relationship with Vanessa, 47, Instagram official in March, posting sweet photos of the couple, along with the caption:

“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.”

President Trump previously met with Tiger Woods in the Oval Office in February for Black History Month.

A few weeks after that visit, a source told People magazine, that the couple “had been quietly dating for several months.” And according to the outlet, Woods son Charlie, 16, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, 18, both play a serious game of golf.

Woods and former wife, Elin Nordegren, who he shares two children with, divorced in 2010 following a headline-making cheating scandal. Vanessa, previously married to Donald Trump Jr., for 13 years, finalized their divorce in 2018 and they share five children.
