Donald Trump said Woods had called to tell him about the relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., and the mother of their five children.
The golfer recently confirmed the once-secret relationship in a social media post.
Asked about the possibility of Woods becoming a member of the Trump family, the president said, “Let ’em both be happy. They’re both great.”
“He told me about it, and I said, ‘Tiger, that’s good. That’s good.’ And I’m very happy for both,” Trump said.
Woods and Vanessa Trump, who was married to Donald Trump Jr., had been seen at Torrey Pines in San Diego along with her daughter, Kai, when Woods arrived for the final round to hand out the trophy to the winner of the Genesis Invitational. He is the tournament host.
Kai Trump goes to the Benjamin School with Woods’ two children, Sam and Charlie. She and Charlie competed on an invitation at a high-profile junior golf tournament this week.
A happy couple in love
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” Woods said on X, where he has 6.4 million followers.
He added: “At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

Woods has two children from his marriage to Elin Nordegren, who divorced him 2010 after he had been exposed for multiple extramarital affairs.
His only other public relationship was with Erica Herman, which lasted about seven years until he ended it in October 2022. It was a messy split, and Herman eventually dismissed lawsuits against Woods and the trust that owns his south Florida estate, where she had been living.
