How Much Older Is Tiger Woods Than His Girlfriend Vanessa Trump?
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have been dating for several months and recently made a rare joint appearance where they showed some PDA.
The famous golfer and President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law were thought to have been seeing each other since late 2024, but they didn’t confirm their relationship until March 2025. At the time, they requested privacy and haven’t been seen together in public much, until now.
The two were spotted at the Genesis Invitational, which ran from Feb. 19 to Feb. 22. It was put on by Woods’ foundation and held at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles.
A fan actually captured the couple walking arm-in-arm and taking photos next to the statue of golf icon Ben Hogan. After taking a few snaps together, they called over Vanessa’s daughter, golfing prodigy Kai Trump, to take some pics with them.
In the video clip posted on TikTok, Vanessa can be seen resting her head on Woods’ shoulder before wrapping him in her arms.
The sighting has renewed public interest in the pair and now has fans asking questions about them. So here are some facts about Woods and Vanessa, including what their age difference is and who has a higher net worth.
Vanessa was born on Dec. 18, 1977, to parents Bonnie and Charles Haydon in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.
Vanessa’s late father had a sizable stake in Rao’s marinara sauce. He died in 2005, and Rao’s was acquired by a competing consumer brand for $415 million. Vanessa and her mother split a $125 million fortune, and today her estimated net worth is around $62 million. Upon the death of her mother, Vanessa “will be the sole heir of the Rao’s windfall and her full inheritance will be north of $100 million in real estate and other family wealth,” according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Vanessa and Woods both reside in Florida and have run in the same social circles for years, but were properly introduced in 2019 when he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House.
Woods was born on Dec. 30, 1975, making him just two years older than Vanessa.
Woods is one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game, and the richest. He has earned a massive fortune on and off the course thanks to endorsement deals and partnerships with several top brands over the years. Today, Tiger has a net worth of $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.
Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they have five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. Before she married Don Jr., Vanessa dated Saudi Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud from 1998 to 2001. She was also romantically linked to Leonardo DiCaprio in the ’90s.
Woods married model Elin Nordegren in 2004, and they share children Sam and Charlie. They had a very public split due to his “transgressions” and numerous cheating allegations. Their divorce was finalized in 2010. Woods later dated Olympic skier Lindsay Vonn and then Erica Herman, who served as the director of operations for his The Woods Jupiter restaurant.
