During the 2001 Open Championship, Tiger Woods was introduced to the Swedish model Elin Nordegren through fellow golfer Jesper Parnevik, who had hired her as an au pair for his children.

They dated for nearly three years until Woods proposed in 2003 at a tournament in South Africa. They married a year later.

They had two children together, Sam Alexis and Charlie Woods, born in 2007 and 2009, respectively.

In 2009, reports of serial infidelity came out against Woods, who was accused of cheating on his wife with multiple women during their marriage.

The following year, Woods delivered a 13-minute speech at a press conference in which he publicly apologized to his supporters and admitted his infidelity. He later sought therapy at a sex rehabilitation clinic, ESPN reported in 2010.

"I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated," Woods said during the speech. "It's now up to me to make amends, and that starts by never repeating the mistakes I've made."

Nordegren filed for divorce in August 2010. In a joint statement, the couple emphasized their commitment to the well-being of their children, The New York Times reported in 2010.

From 2013 to 2015, Woods dated Olympic ski racer Lindsay Vonn.

Donald Trump introduced his son and Hayden at a 2003 fashion show. The two became engaged in November 2004 after a year of dating.

Donald Jr. proposed with a free ring valued at $100,000 at the time (equivalent to nearly $170,000 today) provided by a New Jersey jeweler in exchange for a publicity stunt where the now-president's eldest son asked the question in front of the jeweler's mall storefront, with paparazzi capturing the moment.

The couple married a year later at the now-president's Mar-a-Lago beach resort among friends and family.

Vanessa Trump and Donald Jr. welcomed their first child, Kai Madison, in May 2007. During their marriage, they had four other children: Donald John III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.

Vanessa filed for a no-contest divorce in March 2018. Since then, the couple has remained amicable as co-parents to their children.

After the divorce, Donald Jr. began dating California governor Gavin Newsom's ex-wife, the Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle. The two started dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2020. But the couple separated in 2024, and Donald Jr. is now dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.

In 2019, during his first presidency, Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an honor awarded by the president of the US to civilians.

The two have remained friendly since, with the Telegraph calling Woods "part of Trump's inner circle." The two often golf together.

On February 20, 2025, Woods appeared at the White House after being invited to a celebration of Black History Month by the president.

Trump is not the first president Woods has spent time with. During Barack Obama's presidency, Woods also golfed and met with the president on multiple occasions, including Woods' visit to the White House after the US team's Presidents Cup victory in 2013.

Woods and Trump appeared together at the Genesis Invitation in Palm Beach, Florida, when Woods arrived with Kai Trump at the tournament.

The president's granddaughter and Woods' two children, Sam Alexis and Charlie, attend the same private school in North Palm Beach. Sam, who graduates this year, plays on the school's girls' soccer team, and Kai and Charlie play on the girls' and boys' golf teams, respectively.

Woods and Vanessa Trump reportedly bonded over their children's shared passion for golfing. Kai and Charlie both aim to pursue the sport at the college and professional levels.

In August 2024, Kai Trump announced her commitment to play golf at the University of Miami after she graduates in 2026.

On March 13, People reported that the couple had been "quietly dating" for months, with sources adding that the president's son, Donald Jr., is "cool" with the relationship.

Over a week after the reports came out, Woods confirmed the relationship on social media.

"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" Woods wrote on X. "We look forward to our journey through life together." He also asked for privacy.

On Instagram, both Ivanka Trump and Bettina Anderson, Donald Jr.'s current girlfriend, left supportive comments.

"Beautiful couple," Anderson wrote on the platform. "So happy for you both."

The couple also got President Trump's blessing. After the public announcement, the president told a reporter Woods had told him about the relationship months before.

"Tiger actually called me a few months ago," Trump said. "And he told me about it, and I said, 'Tiger, that's good, that's good.' I'm very happy for both. Let them both be happy. Let them both be happy. They're both great."

Since the announcement, Woods has made another appearance at the White House, where he met with the president once again, as reported by Golf Monthly. Sen. Jim Banks shared a picture with the golfer during the White House visit.

On Woods' previous visit to the White House, Trump had facilitated a meeting between the golfer, who serves as a player director on the PGA Tour board of directors alongside Adam Scott, who was also present, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, and LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan to discuss a possible unification of the two golf leagues that have split the field of professional golf, Golf Magazine reported.

Woods' most recent visit to the White House came just days before the president's trip to Saudi Arabia, which funds the LIV Golf league through the nation's Public Investment Fund.

Her mother, Bonnie Kay Haydon, ran the modeling agency Kay Models, and her stepfather, Charles Haydon, worked as a lawyer.

Vanessa attended The Dwight School, a private preparatory school in Manhattan, where she was a tennis star, The New York Times reported. She then studied psychology at Marymount College in Manhattan.

Schoolmates and fellow members of the Manhattan scene described her as a "hard-rock in leather and baggy jeans" and "total gangster" in a 1998 New York Magazine story.

While at school, she became involved with Valentin Rivera, a gang member who later served 16 months in prison for assault, as reported by Page Six. They went to her senior prom together, per Page Six.

She was voted Most Likely to Wind Up on Ricki Lake in her high school yearbook.

Haydon started modeling in the 1990s before signing with modeling agency Wilhelmina. She later worked with Next Model Management.

She also had a small role in the 2003 film "Something's Gotta Give."

New York Magazine reported the model "was seen nuzzling" DiCaprio at a premiere party for James Toback's "Two Girls and a Guy" in May 1998.

From 1998 to 2001, she dated the Saudi prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, the son of then-Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US, Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, People reported.

Vanessa was introduced to Donald Trump Jr. by his father in 2003. The real-estate magnate introduced the couple twice in the span of five minutes, Vanessa recalled for The New York Times.

Six weeks later, they were introduced again by a mutual friend at a birthday party.

"We talked for an hour," she told the Times. Eventually they realized they'd met weeks earlier.

Born 11 months apart, the model sisters grew up on Manhattan's club scene, and the siblings became club owners themselves with the opening of Sessa, Women's Wear Daily reported in January 2003.

The Polynesian-themed club aimed to be a place where people could "hang out without having to shout over the music," WWD wrote.

In January 2004, the club was forced to close, The New York Times reported.

In November 2004, Trump Jr. proposed to the model with a complimentary $100,000 ring from a New Jersey jeweler in exchange for popping the question in front of the jeweler's mall storefront with paparazzi present.

The couple married a year later on November 12, 2005, at Trump's Palm Beach resort, Mar-a-Lago.

The couple had five children together: Kai, Donald John III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.

Their eldest daughter, Kai Trump, 17, is an avid golfer and, in 2024, committed to playing for the University of Miami. She spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2024 and appeared at her grandfather's inauguration in January 2025 alongside other family members.

From 2010 to 2013, the model released a line of handbags called La Poshett, although she eventually settled into the stay-at-home mom lifestyle, homeschooling her children over the COVID-19 pandemic.

After 12 years of marriage, Vanessa filed for a no-contest divorce in 2018.

The couple separated nine months before filing for a divorce, and Trump Jr. began dating Kimberly Guilfoyle, then a Fox News anchor, in 2018.

Donald Jr. and Vanessa have maintained an amicable relationship, spending time together at Mar-a-Lago and various official events.

Tiger Woods made a notable return to the White House on May, marking his first visit since publicly revealing his relationship with Vanessa Trump.

The 15-time major golf champion, now 49, was photographed with Indiana Senator Jim Banks, who shared an image of their meeting on X.

Woods' visit comes just two months after going Instagram official with Vanessa Trump.

While the reason for the visit in May remains unclear, President Trump did confirm that he met with Woods, according to Golf Monthly.

Both Wood's and Vanessa's respective children are competitive junior golfers.
