Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover accident on Jupiter Island on March 27th.
The accident occurred just after 2 p.m. on Jupiter Island, Florida, where Woods has lived since 2007. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office announced that Woods was arrested for drunk driving after the crash in Florida.
The golfer and another driver involved in the two-vehicle crash were not injured, authorities said.
Woods was also in the news on March 26 when President Donald Trump announced that Woods would not be playing in the Masters in two weeks.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Woods are connected through Mr. Trump’s family. Here’s how:
Tiger Woods is dating President Trump’s ex-wife
On March 13, 2025, news reports suggested that Woods was dating Vanessa Trump, who was once the president’s daughter-in-law. In a March 23, 2025 Instagram post, Woods confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump via social media.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to the journey of life together. We ask that everyone close to our hearts respect our privacy at this time,” Woods wrote in an Instagram post with a photo of Vanessa Trump.
President Trump responded positively to the news, saying, “I wish them both happiness.”

Who is Vanessa Trump?
Vanessa Trump is Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife.
On November 12, 2005, Donald Trump Jr. married former model Vanessa Kay Trump, formerly known as Vanessa Kay Pergolizzi. Donald Trump introduced Donald Trump Jr. to Vanessa at a 2003 fashion show. The couple wed in front of about 370 guests at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, and the ceremony was reportedly officiated by Donald Trump’s sister, Judge Marianne Trump Barry. Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump were 27 years old when they married in December 2005, just weeks before they turned 28.
Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. had five children, Kai Trump, Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump, and Chloe Trump, but they divorced in 2018 after 12 years of marriage.
Kai Trump called Tiger Woods his favorite golfer
Kai Trump, 18, is the eldest granddaughter of President Donald Trump and the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump. Like Woods and her grandfather, she is also an avid golfer.
In February 2025, Kai Trump announced her first major sponsorship deal, making her the highest-paid player in high school girls golf.
Kai Trump attends the same Palm Beach County school as Wood’s son, Charlie Woods. She committed to the University of Miami in fall 2026, and Charlie Woods enrolled at Florida State University in fall 2027.
On Logan Paul’s podcast earlier this year, Kai Trump said Woods is his favorite golfer.
