Tiger and Vanessa put on romantic front before | Golf News

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump exchanged a high-profile kiss moments before Jupiter Links suffered a devastating defeat against Los Angeles.

Woods returned to TGL motion after his last aggressive look at the Open Championship at Royal Troon in 2024. His Jupiter Links squad fell to Tommy Fleetwood’s staff when Justin Rose made the decisive closing putt – though Woods later hinted at a potential Masters comeback.

LA claimed the top prize of $9 million, with Fleetwood’s son captured making confetti angels on the inexperienced, but the second got here after Woods and Donald Trump Jr’s former spouse have been seen sharing a kiss in view of Miami golf prodigy Kai Trump and spectators.

The pair’s romance has attracted media consideration from the outset, given Vanessa’s earlier marriage to the son of the US President. Reports emerged earlier this month suggesting Woods felt ‘stifled’ by his accomplice’s worries relating to his romantic historical past. However, they displayed affection publicly before his TGL disappointment.

“Yeah, we got our ass kicked at the end,” Woods mirrored following the 9-2 defeat to LA. “We didn’t respond, and I missed a short one at the beginning to kind of get it started. We gave them momentum, and never got it back. Never got it back.”

Woods expressed satisfaction at returning to competitors as the 15-time major champion continues his efforts to compete at Augusta National this season, having undergone back surgical procedure in October following struggles with an Achilles issue earlier in the yr. “Well, it felt great to be back here with these guys,” Woods expressed.

“To be back here with Maxi [Homa] and Tom, and this was our team from last year, and, you know, we have so much fun. Today’s practice session earlier today, we’re just giving each other the needle the entire time.

“And also very supportive at the same time. And then Kis[ner] is sending us texts. Akshay’s texting. So it was a great staff. I’m pissed off that we did not get it performed. We had alternatives like, last night time, we must always have gained that match, and they took benefit of it, and then they steamrolled us at the end tonight. It feels good to be back, but… I would love to have them back in better circumstances, but that’s sports activities.

“You put yourself out there, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and you deal with it. An incredible turnaround this season, though, gentlemen.”

As he recovers from injury, Woods is optimistic about making a comeback, stating earlier this yr that taking part in the Masters is not off the desk, although he hasn’t offered a particular timeline for his return.

“I’ve been trying,” Woods admitted after making his 2026 TGL debut.

“Just this body is — it doesn’t recover like it did when it was 24, 25. It doesn’t mean I’m not trying. I’ve been trying for a while. I’ve had a couple bad injuries here over the past years that I’ve had to fight through and it’s taken some time.

“But I keep making an attempt. I would like to play. I really like the match. I’ve cherished being there since I used to be 19 years outdated. It’s meant a lot to me and my household over the years. I’m going to be there either manner with The Loop that’s going up there, as properly as the Champions Dinner.”
