Vanessa Trump, President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law, broke her silence on social media following Tiger Woods’ stunning DUI arrest in Florida last week.
The golf legend’s arrest came just days after the pair were spotted together at the Golf League Championship in Florida, which Woods was attending. Vanessa Trump’s daughter, Kai Trump, was also seen in the stands.

But Vanessa Trump’s support for Woods looked different this week after the 15-time major winner was arrested on multiple charges, including DUI following a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida.

“Love you,” Vanessa Trump captioned a photo of herself hugging Woods as the two appeared to relax in a hammock. The photo posted to her Instagram stories early Friday morning was the same photo Woods shared on X when he first announced his relationship with her in March 2025.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” he wrote in an X post at the time. “At this time we would appreciate the privacy of all those close to our hearts.”
Trump recently spoke to the New York Post about Woods’ arrest.

“I think he’s doing well, he’s doing well,” the president told the magazine, later adding, “He tested negative for alcohol, as you know, and he’s under tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, his back and his leg.”

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Pakinomist Digital on Tuesday, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office reported observing several signs of impairment at the scene, noting that Woods was “sweating profusely” and that his movements appeared “sluggish and slow.”
Woods was arrested after performing a series of field sobriety tests, and during a search, law enforcement found “two white pills inside Woods’ left pants pocket.” According to the arrest affidavit, the pills were later identified as hydrocodone, a prescription opioid for pain relief.
Woods previously told law enforcement officers prior to the field sobriety tests that he underwent seven back surgeries and “over 20 surgeries on his legs.” He told law enforcement that “I take a couple” of prescription drugs.

In jail, Woods submitted to a breathalyzer, returning 0.00 results on both tests. He refused to submit to a urine test, resulting in another charge.
Woods pleaded not guilty earlier this week and announced he would step away from golf to “seek treatment and focus on my health.”
