Tiger Woods and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Trump are still ‘very close’ in the aftermath of his alleged DUI last month, according to insiders.
Woods, 50, was arrested on March 27 after flipping his SUV in Jupiter Island, Florida.
An anonymous source told People that Vanessa, 48, has continued to stand by him, noting that he is particularly close with one of her children.
‘She’s not leaving him. They’re very close as a family,’ an anonymous source told People. ‘He’s fully integrated now and especially close with Kai.’
Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr from 2005 to 2018. They share children Kai, 18, Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11.
Vanessa posted a picture with Woods on an Instagram story shortly after his arrest, with the caption ‘love you,’ reported Fox Digital.
‘Things will settle down,’ the source said. ‘[Vanessa’s] handling it well and just not saying much.’
Kai has a burgeoning golf career and an impressive platform as an influencer. She and Vanessa were seen cheering Woods on at a tournament just days before the accident.

Kai graduates from high school in May, after which she plans to attend the University of Miami and become a professional golfer.
An anonymous source shared that Woods’ recent arrest ‘raised some concerns’ from Kai’s father, Don Jr, though he has ‘been supportive’ of the couple.
Woods has been dating Trump’s ex-daughter-in-law for more than a year. The couple went public with their relationship in March 2025.
He pulled out of the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, held this week, following his arrest. He has not secured a major championship win since 2019.
Body camera footage from the scene allegedly showed Woods telling the responding officers that he was ‘just talking to the president.’
Woods has a years-long friendship with President Trump. In 2019, Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Trump told the New York Post days after the crash that Woods ‘is under a tremendous physical pressure from his various ailments, you know, the back and the leg.’

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office allegedly found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket during the accident.
‘On scene, we had [Drug Recognition] experts evaluating him and they believed from on scene that he was not impaired with alcohol, but they believe it was some type of medication or drug,’ police said.
Per the affidavit, Woods told police he ‘had seven back surgeries and over 20 operations on his leg,’ which required him to take prescription medication.
After clambering out of the car, a ‘lethargic’ Woods agreed to take a breathalyzer at the scene – with the Sheriff’s Office confirming that he showed ‘triple zeros’ – but he then refused to provide a urine sample.
He was booked in the Martin County Jail for at least eight hours.
The crash occurred in a 30 mph zone when Woods – who was traveling at ‘high speed’ – attempted to overtake a truck that was pulling a pressure-washing device, according to the cops.

He clipped the rear of the trailer and flipped his Range Rover.
Woods was alone in his car, and neither he nor the driver of the other vehicle was injured.
Woods has since been granted special permission to seek rehabilitation treatment outside of the country.
The renowned golfer, who lives on Jupiter Island around two miles from where the incident occurred, was involved in a similar crash in 2021 in California, that shattered his right leg after he was trapped under the vehicle.
The Daily Mail contacted the representatives for Woods, Kai and Vanessa Trump for comment.
