Vanessa Trump stands by Tiger Woods at DUI hearing as couple makes rare joint appearance

By Alejandra García • September 2, 2026

Vanessa Trump put on a united front with boyfriend Tiger Woods at the professional golfer’s DUI hearing in Florida on Wednesday.

The duo showed up to the Martin County Courthouse in the same car. Trump exited from the backseat, while her boyfriend stepped out from the passenger side.

The duo did not speak or show any PDA while approaching the building together.

The athlete, 50, looked somber while suited up for the occasion, in photos exclusively obtained by Page Six.

Trump, for her part, paired a white blazer with a black dress, heels and sunglasses.

At the hearing, Woods accepted a last-minute plea deal, which reduced the DUI charge from his March arrest to reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test — with respective $1,000 and $500 fines issued for the charges.

Both, notably, carry a five-year driving ban and run concurrent with each other, meaning Woods has lost his license for five years.

The judge warned him, “If you drive for any reason at all, you will be going back to jail.”

Woods was taken into custody in March after a rollover car crash in Jupiter Island, Fla., on suspicion of driving under the influence.

He pleaded not guilty in March, waiving his arraignment and demanding a jury trial.

Woods went on to spend six weeks at a treatment facility in Switzerland, leaving rehab in June.

People reported that he and Trump were keeping “in touch while he was away” — and Woods briefly flew home in May to support his partner after she went public with her breast cancer diagnosis.

Trump, who shares five children with ex-husband Donald Trump Jr., sweetly shouted out Woods as her “strength” during the health battle via Instagram.

The 48-year-old shared a health update in June, writing on her Story, “Over the past four weeks, I’ve been recovering from surgery, and I’m grateful to be healing and moving forward.”

Vanessa continued, “Soon, I’ll be starting the second stage of my treatment. Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone fighting this battle.”

Page Six broke the news in March 2025 that Woods and Donald Jr.’s ex-wife were an item.

The pair confirmed their relationship later that same month by going Instagram-official.
