Vanessa Trump has reached out to her boyfriend, Tiger Woods, with a heartfelt message of encouragement on Instagram as the famous golfer navigates a challenging period in his life.

Recently, Woods found himself in legal trouble after he was arrested last Friday. He had crashed his SUV while attempting a high-speed pass near his Jupiter Island, Florida residence. During the incident, authorities discovered two opioid pills in his possession.

In response to these events, Woods has decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf, putting his health and wellness first. This decision comes as a disappointment to many of his supporters who were eagerly anticipating his return at The Masters, following a nearly two-year hiatus due to injury.

Sharing a picture of the couple together in happier times, Trump captioned the image with two red hearts and the words: ‘Love you.’

According to sources, Trump, 48, has been advocating for Woods to receive the highest standard of care, determined not to let history repeat itself with the personal struggles that have previously affected his career.

In a positive development, Woods, 50, has been granted permission by a judge to seek rehabilitation outside the U.S., as he confronts his ongoing issues with prescription medication.

Additionally, Woods faces charges of driving under the influence, causing property damage, and refusing a lawful test. He has entered a plea of not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court on May 5.

Trump’s message comes after police released extraordinary bodycam footage detailing the aftermath of the crash.

In one clip, Woods is heard telling police that he had spoken on the phone with President Donald Trump – Vanessa’s former father-in-law from her marriage to Donald Trump Jr. – who is friends with Woods. Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom during his first term in office.

Woods was also asked how much he had to drink, to which he replied: ‘None.’

When quizzed if he is on any medication, he said: ‘I take a few, yes,’ before detailing that he had taken it all earlier that morning.

Woods then is shown sitting on the front of the police car for the sobriety exercises, one of which sees a cop move her hand from side to side in front of Woods’ face as he attempts to follow it without moving his head. In another, he is asked to touch the end of his nose.

After the tests, the golf legend – who appeared to be hiccupping on several occasions – is asked to stand up and face the police car. He is then told to put his hands behind his back before being placed in cuffs. 

‘I do believe your normal faculties are impaired and you’re under [the influence of] an unknown substance,’ the cop tells him. ‘I’m being arrested?’ Woods asks. ‘Yes, sir,’ she responds.  The affidavit, released Wednesday, also claims Woods was ‘limping and stumbling’ during the tests.

In the initial clip of him at the roadside, recorded by the arresting officer’s bodycam, Woods can be heard explaining how the crash occurred.

‘I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden… boom!’ Woods tells the officer, explaining the moment he clipped the back of a pressure washer trailer and rolled his Range Rover onto its side.

Police said he told them he was ‘looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station’ when the crash occurred.

‘I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,’ Woods then said in a statement on Tuesday. ‘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.’ 

It was the fourth occasion Woods has been involved in an accident since 2009. 

The first came when Woods drove into a fire hydrant outside his home, fleeing after ex-wife Elin Nordegren had discovered he had been cheating.

In 2017, police found him asleep at the wheel on the side of the road with hte engine running. He was arrested then, too, for DUI with Woods blaming an ‘unexpected reaction’ to prescription medication for his condition. He later checked into rehab.

Trump and Woods’ relationship was exclusively revealed by Daily Mail in March 2025

In 2021, he rolled his car at high speed in California so badly that he broke his right leg in multiple places and there were fears that he could have faced amputation.

Trump and Woods have been dating since around Thanksgiving 2024, with the Daily Mail exclusively revealing their relationship in March last year.

Just days before Woods crashed, Trump watched from the stands in Florida alongside her daughter Kai as he made a hugely anticipated return to golf at his TGL (The Golf League) event.

His team lost, but it was still considered a major step for Woods given on his recovery from a seventh back surgery last October and a torn Achilles last March. He last competed in a tournament at The Open Championship in Scotland in July 2024.

Anticipation was growing that he would compete at The Masters at Augusta next week, one of the most prestigious tournaments in golf. Woods won five times there during the course of his all-conquering career, where he holds 15 Majors to his name.

But that will now not happen. The the PGA of America added on Wednesday Woods had turned down the opportunity to captain the United States at the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland in order to focus on his wellbeing.
