Vanessa Trump has publicly addressed the recent rollover crash and DUI arrest of her boyfriend and golf legend Tiger Woods, offering words of support.

Taking to her Instagram page on April 3, the 48-year-old shared a photo of the two with the caption reading: “Love you,” marking her first direct acknowledgment of the incident.

The two were last spotted together last week at the Golf League championship in Florida, where Trump cheered on Woods as he made his golf comeback after undergoing back surgery in October 2025.

Woods, 50, competed for Jupiter Links in Match 2 of the finals, but was ultimately defeated by the Los Angeles Golf Club 9–3 in the series. The club secured the 2026 SoFi Cup title.

Woods was arrested just days after the event on Mar 27 on suspicion of driving under the influence after a rollover crash near his home in Jupiter Island, Florida.

Authorities say the accident occurred when Woods attempted to pass another vehicle on a two-lane residential road at “high speeds,” clipping the back of the vehicle and flipping his SUV in the process.

Law enforcement officials reported signs of impairment at the scene; however, a breathalyzer test showed no signs of alcohol in his system.

Woods refused to consent to urinalysis but later acknowledged to taking prescription medication and failing a field sobriety test. He was subsequently charged with DUI-related offenses, including property damage and refusal to submit to further testing.

The pair first came forward with their relationship last year, with Woods publishing a social media post that contained the same photo that Trump shared regarding the recent incident.

“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” read the post at the time. “At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

Prior to her relationship with Woods, Trump was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years before their divorce in 2018, and together they share five children.

Woods is also father to two children, whom he shares with ex-wife Elin Nordegren. The two were married for six years before finalizing their divorce in 2010.

In a phone interview with the New York Post, President Donald Trump said he spoke with Woods following the accident and told the outlet that he thinks “he’s doing great, he’s doing good.”

“He tested negative for alcohol, as you know,” the president added. “He is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg.”

With the 2026 Masters Tournament set to kick off on April 6, Woods addressed the severity of his situation and announced that he will be indefinitely taking a break from golfing.

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods wrote in a statement on Mar. 31. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.”

“This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
