If there is any golfer who has always been the center of attention, it is undoubtedly Tiger Woods. Whether it’s his performance, injuries, or love life, Tiger Woods has always been in the spotlight. Since the start of the 2025 PGA Tour season, Woods has faced health and family struggles. But now, days after sharing the news of his ruptured left Achilles tendon and confirming his absence from the Masters, he has dropped another bombshell. He shocked the world with an Instagram post revealing a major change in his life.”

Woods shared a post featuring photos of him and Vanessa Trump together 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.” The post surfaced hours before the TGL final. Now, fans have begun connecting the dots, noting that Vanessa Trump was in the stands during Woods’ TGL match. Also, her appearance at the Genesis Invitational wearing Sun Day Red made it clear to the fans. While this may be a happy development for Woods, the announcement quickly turned him into a laughingstock.

Recently at the Shotgun Start podcast, Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath thoroughly discussed the unique approach to sharing the relationship update. Porath, after the discussion, began saying, “They knew they were gonna go to TGL finals together. So wanted to release it. It was set for 7 PM.” He continued laughing while wishing Woods luck and acknowledging the sentiment behind his caption.

He further added, “I just couldn’t believe that Tiger needs those pictures, that image, or anything associated with that.” The post featured two images of the couple. In one, they stood side by side with simple smiles. In the other, they shared a more romantic moment, wearing sunglasses and hugging.

The panel also made fun of the caption, saying, “Who wrote the caption?” . The post unexpectedly expressed gratitude and provided an update on his love life. The plain and robotic nature of the caption confused fans and experts alike. Andy Johnson chimed in, saying that despite being at the game, he couldn’t stop thinking about Woods’ relationship announcement. He said, “I kept going back to that tweet.” Even continued saying how it was unbelievable to see the GOAT posting such an update on his personal life.

People may be mocking Woods for a relationship announcement for the first time, but his love life has made headlines before.
