Tiger Woods relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of President Donald Trump’s son, Don Jr. has captured the attention of fans and sparked possible wedding rumors.

Although the 15-time major champion has largely kept his private affairs out of the headlines, his recent decision to share a heartfelt message about their relationship has sparked fresh attention and discussion across sports and cultural media.

The two were first publicly linked late last year but managed to keep details largely out of the spotlight for months.

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump

That changed in March 2025, when Woods posted two photos of himself with Vanessa Trump on social media, confirming their connection and offering a rare glimpse into his personal life. The caption read in full:

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

That post marked a significant shift for Woods, who has historically shunned the kind of public sharing of his relationships that many celebrities lean into.

Previously, Woods’ only other widely confirmed relationships included ones with Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman; the latter ended in 2023 after a longterm partnership.

White House wedding talk meets reality check

According to multiple reports at the time, Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump had been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving, spending time together at his home in Jupiter Island, Florida.

They were said to enjoy quiet dinners and lowkey evenings rather than highprofile outings, choosing to nurture the relationship on their own terms before making it public.

Rumors that the couple might marry at the White House, given Trump’s connection to the family, have been widely circulated, especially in gossip circles and social-media speculation. But friends close to the golfer have been blunt about dismissing that notion.

“That’s bulls-t,” one friend told outlets with a laugh when asked about the White House wedding chatter back in August.

“Why would he want to get married in the White House? That doesn’t even stand up to any sort of critical thinking.”

Critics of the idea point out the awkward optics of staging such a celebration in the home of Trump’s father, especially given the family ties involved.

A Woods confidant told reporters that a destination wedding or a private celebration on one of the golfer’s properties makes far more sense than anything presidential.

While neither Woods nor Trump has publicly outlined specific plans for marriage, friends and sources have suggested that both view the partnership seriously.

Divine intervention? Anthony Joshua made last-second seat change that saved his life in fatal car crash

Anthony Joshua is lucky to be alive following a fatal car crash earlier this week, especially considering he was originally sitting in the passenger’s seat before switching to the back.

Details are still emerging from Joshua’s near-death crash in Nigeria, but fight fans are already blown away by some of the information that has been released. This includes the crash itself — which involved the passenger car striking a stationary truck — as well as the driver not having a valid driver’s license.

On Friday, the driver’s lawyer, Olalekan Abiodun, revealed even more details about the accident that confirms Joshua ultimately cheated death.

“My client has pleaded not guilty and what happened was an accident, I haven’t had a full chance to speak with him yet but I know he is saying the brakes did not work,” Abiodun told Daily Mail.

“I also understand that the journey started in Lagos and that initially Anthony had got into the front seat but the driver asked him to swap seats.

“He did this because Anthony is a big fellow and he couldn’t see the wing mirror properly so he asked him to move and he sat behind the driver.

“From what I understand Latif was in back and then changed seats with Anthony.”

If the driver’s claim is accurate then Joshua should have been sitting in the passenger’s seat, which claimed the life of his personal trainer Latif Ayodele. It’s unknown at this time how long it will take Joshua to heal both physically and mentally from this ordeal, but the superstar boxer is more than lucky to still be alive.

Tyson Fury Torn Apart by Boxing Fans as New Training Footage Emerges

Boxing fans have been left concerned by Tyson Fury’s physique and training footage after the former heavyweight champion posted a video of his return in the build up to a potential big comeback in 2026.

The 37-year-old has been out of action since being beaten for a second time by Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, and shocked the boxing world by announcing his retirement from the sport less than a month after that world heavyweight title defeat in Riyadh.

All the signs point to a 2026 comeback, however, with it reportedly being Fury’s plan to fight in the first quarter of the year to get rid of any ring rust, before a mega all-British clash with Anthony Joshua in the summer — although that bout now hangs in the balance after AJ was involved in a tragic car crash in Nigeria on Monday.

Tyson Fury’s Return to Boxing Training

In the biggest sign yet that Fury is indeed preparing for what would surely be the last great push of his career, The Gypsy King has travelled to Thailand to train with WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena, posting highlights of each training day to his Instagram.

It is not the first time Fury has travelled to Thailand either. Just three months before his rematch with Usyk, he shared a video of himself at the World Kumite Organization Gym, where he was seen leaning on the ropes before the Kru (instructor) told him to deliver kicks on the leg pad.

On day one of his latest trip, Fury wrote on Instagram: “This is how I spent my new year. Grinding & working my a** off! Couldn’t think of anything better to do than this! Great things come to those who work hard. All in the name of Jesus. Little by little on the daily we keep climbing.”

However, among several videos to come out of Fury’s training sessions in Thailand, where he can be seen doing the usual pad work and moving around the ring well with Lerena, one clip in particular has caused concern with fans.

Fans Show Concern For Tyson Fury

In this clip, a topless Fury throws hooks on a heavy bag, and while he has never been renowned for having the body of a Greek god, even when he was in fighting shape, he does look a tad bulkier than usual — and fans were quick to point it out online.

Under the video posted by Happy Punch on X, which said Fury was “looking like an absolute UNIT,” one user commented: “Unit? Come on. He was just swinging his arms like any normal person might do. Nothing impressive about that, or his physique, at all.”

Elsewhere in the replies, one fan wrote: “He’s definitely a great boxer, but in this clip he looks like he’s just come back from a holiday,” while another said: “Fury looks in terrible shape! Doesn’t look like he hits hard either for the weight.”

Others came to Fury’s defence, however, as one fan wrote: “Just had a heavy short retirement and a very big November and December holidays… if anyone can come back and cause a stir, be better, get back to [his] best, it’s him,” while another user made sure to remind fans: “Fury is the literal definition of don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Terence Crawford rules out MMA move: ‘They don’t pay enough’

Terence Crawford is stepping away from the ring, but don’t expect him to step into a cage anytime soon.

The undefeated 38-year-old recently announced he was retiring from boxing, putting a cap on a legendary career that saw him go 42-0 and capture world titles across five different weight classes. Crawford’s final fight was a mega matchup with fellow superstar Canelo Alvarez in September, a bout Crawford won via a convincing 12-round unanimous decision.

Given he likely still has plenty left in the tank physically and his background in wrestling, fans have often wondered if Crawford would consider a move to MMA. But until MMA fighter pay goes up, Crawford is passing on that option.

Canelo v Crawford

JUST IN: Why Canelo Alvarez rejects opportunity to regain world title he lost

“Nah,” Crawford said flatly, responding to a fan question on an Adin Ross Kick stream. “Nah, they don’t pay enough. … Man, you get messed up in wrestling, just in general. To do wrestling, kicking, boxing, and elbowing, man, you can have it.”

Crawford is widely regarded as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters of his era, with numerous high-profile championship victories, including a 2023 masterclass against Errol Spence Jr., who was considered Crawford’s most difficult matchup at the time. Ahead of Crawford’s fight with Canelo, UFC star Ilia Topuria boasted he could knock out Crawford, which drew an amused response from the boxer, who admitted he’d never even watched Topuria’s fights.

And as of now? He still hasn’t.

“Listen, this is crazy,” Crawford said of Topuria. “I’ve never seen this dude fight. Never, not once. I’m going to have to watch him on YouTube, I swear to God, I have never seen this dude fight.”

That said, Crawford is a professed MMA fan, and he can name at least two fighters he admires even if Topuria doesn’t make the cut.

“Jon Jones and Khabib [Nurmagomedov], hands down,” Crawford said. “They’re my guys.”

Canelo Alvarez rejects opportunity to regain world title he lost to Terence Crawford

Canelo Alvarez has turned down a vacant IBF super middleweight title fight with heavy-handed Cuban Osleys Iglesias.

The red and gold strap is one of the four major sanctioning body belts Terence Crawford snatched from Canelo in September.

However, those titles have since fragmented following Crawford’s retirement.

In December, the IBF looked to install a new champion by ordering No. 1-ranked Iglesias against No.3-rated Canelo, who sits one spot below an empty No.2 position.

As Canelo has passed up on the opportunity, the IBF are due to move back down their rankings to find the next available contender to take on Iglesias.

At the time of writing, Jaime Munguia is ranked No.4 after being cleared of all wrongdoing relating to a failed drugs test following his win over Bruno Surace in May.

Britain’s Callum Simpson currently occupies the No.5 slot, although he is very likely to be removed in the next update after being knocked out by Troy Williamson on December 20.

The current rankings only take into account results up until November 30, with a fresh top 15 expected to be published in the coming days.

What is next for Canelo Alvarez?

Canelo’s decision to reject the Igelias fight comes as little surprise to those in the know.

The Mexican’s trainer and manager, Eddy Reynoso, confirmed last month that Canelo would forgo his usual Cinco De Mayo weekend date and elect instead to return to the ring in September.

Canelo underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow in October, which requires 12 to 15 weeks to recover from.

He was scheduled to return in February as part of his four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, but his operation delayed the expected return date to May.

That has since been pushed back a further four months, with Canelo aiming to box on Mexican Independence weekend.

Against whom remains a mystery.

A rematch with Crawford is out of the question, not only because ‘Bud’ has now hung up his gloves, but also because of the lopsided nature of the defeat.

When Canelo signed his money-spinning deal with Turki Alalshikh in February 2025, a rematch with Dmitry Bivol was floated around as a possible option.

However, Bivol is expected to box mandatory challenger Michael Eifert before taking on Artur Beterbiev in a trilogy bout.

Brit’s Hamzah Sheeraz and Chris Eubank Jr were also mentioned.

It remains to be seen where Eubank Jr goes from his defeat to Conor Benn, while Sheeraz has been ordered to box for the vacant WBO and WBC super middleweight titles, respectively.

Tiger Woods silences Charlie Woods critics according to NCAA coach

Charlie Woods continues to silence critics with his fearless approach to golf, following the lessons and mindset instilled by his legendary father, Tiger Woods – according to the coach, Toby Harbeck.

Harbeck, who has mentored the sons of epic players like Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman, has watched Charlie attack every hole aggressively, but initially warned Tiger the boy might make costly mistakes.

READ: How Tiger Woods’ TGL proves its power with stunning vi

Tiger simply replied, “Coach, it’s all a process. I went through it when I was a young kid. He will learn.”

That calm assurance demonstrated the confidence passed down to his son. Even as a young golfer, Tiger’s perfectionism was well reported with stories that he would tackle puzzles or coloring books until complete.

He often pushed limits. For example, Before the 2008 US Open, doctors advised him not to play due to a torn ACL and double tibia stress fracture. Yet, he competed and won, setting a precedent of persistence Charlie has inherited.

Tiger’s son reflects this same relentless drive. In 2022, he hurt his ankle before the PNC Championship but limped onto the course and finished the event, refusing to quit despite pain or doubt.

Harbeck once advised Charlie to save energy, but the teen helped his team, the Benjamin Academy Buccaneers, finish second at the 2024 Class 1A Region 4 tournament, showcasing his father’s competitive spirit.

Most recently, during the 2025 state championship, Charlie began with a 74 but followed with a remarkable 68 in the next round, leading Benjamin School to what is their second title in three years.

Tiger remains a supportive presence without overstepping. After his 2025 back surgery, he walked the long course to watch Charlie play every hole. A calm, reassuring presence that doesn’t take control.

How good is Charlie Woods?

Charlie’s talent has drawn attention from top programs so it’s little surprise that he’s ranked in the AJGA top 15 and is still evaluating college options, keeping recruiters guessing as demand continues to grow.

The Florida State Seminoles’ head coach Trey Jones spoke with Tiger recently, indicating he feels adding Charlie would strengthen the roster alongside Miles Russell – the top junior golfer in the world.

That’s an impressive vote of confidence in his talent as Jones aims to counter the Florida Gators’ top recruits. Elsewhere, the Woods family has strong Stanford ties. Tiger excelled there, and Charlie’s sister Sam attends the university.

Tha’s leading many to speculate he could follow in his father’s footsteps at the historic California school as the young golfer prepares to face challenges, proving doubters wrong and continuing a family legacy of excellence.

This combination of grit, skill, and mentorship signals that Charlieis poised to become a formidable force in junior and collegiate golf in the coming years – and potentially a household name like his 15x champion dad.

Tiger Woods’ TGL proves its power with stunning viewership numbers

When the Tomorrow Golf League (TGL) launched its second season, critics rushed to label it a “sophomore slump” following its buzzing debut campaign.

Yet the early television numbers tell a very different story, one that positions TGLnot as a fading novelty but as a legitimate disruptor in the world of golf broadcasting.

TGL’s Season 2 opener, a Sunday afternoon showdown between Atlanta and New York on ABC, drew 646,000 average viewers, according to Nielsen data reported by media journalist Josh Carpenter.

READ: The 1 part of Tiger Woods’ legacy we’re waiting to understand

While this figure is roughly 30% below the league’s Season 1 debut on ESPN, the circumstances differ dramatically. The first season launched on a Tuesday night in primetime with zero major sports competition, while the second-season opener faced NFL Week 17, widely regarded as one of the toughest television environments for alternative sports programming.

Carpenternoted that TGL had to compete with the national NFL window for less than a quarter of its broadcast, yet the league still held its ground.

Despite these challenges, TGL outperformed all other traditional winter golf broadcasts that weekend. The PNC Championship drew 560,000 viewers, the Grant Thornton Invitational reached 450,000, and the World Champions Cup fell to just 305,000.

Even more impressive, TGL’s peak audience reached 735,000, suggesting viewers stayed for the entire contest, a thrilling finish sealed by Billy Horschel’s 37-foot walk-off eagle putt that clinched Atlanta’s 6-4 victory over New York.

TGL’s broader impact on golf audiences

TGL is making waves beyond just raw numbers. Its demographic appeal is remarkable for a sport often criticized for an aging audience. Season 1 reports show a median viewer age of 52, making it younger than the typical PGA Tour audience and second only to the NBA among major U.S. sports leagues.

Around 41-42% of viewers were in the 18-49 age bracket, a crucial demographic for advertisers and one that traditional golf broadcasts struggle to attract. This younger audience is precisely what gives TGL an edge over established tournaments.

The league’s Season 2 opener nearly matched the LPGA’s Chevron Championship final round (811,000 viewers), all while competing with NFL programming and delivering a far younger audience. The league has now established itself as the winter golf staple, filling a calendar slot that previously lacked consistent viewership.

With expanding broadcast rights across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and the ESPN App, along with rising sponsorship deals, TGL is no longer an experimental format. It is becoming the default offseason golf product, attracting viewers and advertisers that traditional tours often miss.

The question is no longer whether viewers will tune in, it is whether the PGA Tour and LPGA can keep up.

‘He got grits in his gloves’: Deontay Wilder names the hardest puncher he faced (and it’s not Tyson Fury)

Deontay Wilder, despite four defeats in his last six fights, has been linked with a 2026 fight against Oleksandr Usyk. Wilder’s legacy will undoubtedly be his extraordinary punching power. He was behind in some fights, but found a way to win with that dynamite right hand. In a recent interview with Vegas Insider, The Bronze Bomber revealed the hardest puncher he’s ever faced.

Deontay Wilder recalls punching power of Johann Duhaupas

Wilder has stopped 43 fighters in his 44 wins. It’s an unbelievable record, but it hasn’t always been plain sailing for the Alabama native, who has been behind in fights and struggled against certain opponents. Looking back on the hardest puncher he’s ever faced, many would expect Wilder to name Fury, but The Bronze Bomber named a surprising opponent as the biggest puncher:

“Like I said, I’m an energy person now. It may change throughout the years, but right now, when I think about the hardest.

“I can remember that the feeling in the ring was Johann Duhaupas, the Frenchman.

“Like every time he hit me with his jab and shit, I kept in my head. I was like, God damn. He hit hard.

“Damn. He got grits in his gloves.

“I kept saying, I can’t keep taking these jabs, you know?

“He was the only fighter that made me just really just think like that.

“Like if I got hit, like, dang, that hurt.

“That’s only what I could remember. So I always give him that gratitude, you know, and that acknowledgement.

“So, salute. Salute, bro. I still think about you.

“He hit me so hard, I still think about him!”

Deontay Wilder in 2026 and beyond

What’s left for Deontay Wilder? His taxing trilogy against Tyson Fury appeared to take a lot out of both fighters. After more than 14 months out of the ring, Wilder returned to big-time boxing, losing to Joseph Parker, and then suffering a defeat against Zhilei Zhang. The Bronze Bomber returned this year, stopping Tyrrell Herndon.

In the win against Herndon, Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) was relatively in control, using his jab effectively, with Herndon only having limited success. Wilder scored a knockdown in round two, despite Herndon protesting that it was a slip. As the rounds progressed, Herndon began to fatigue, with Wilder landing some big shots. This pressure from The Bronze Bomber led to a second knockdown.

In the seventh round, Wilder landed two right hands, which prompted the referee to jump in to wave the fight off. The use of the jab by Wilder was undoubtedly positive, but his timing was off. That is not unexpected given his inactivity in recent years. Is Wilder ready for a showdown with Usyk? Absolutely not! If Wilder is to make any further impact in the heavyweight division, we need to see him in a winnable fight against someone who will pose him questions. That’s when we will see if Deontay Wilder has the answers.

Jake Paul Handed Career Blow Two Weeks After Anthony Joshua Defeat

Jake Paul’s aspirations of becoming a world champion at cruiserweight have been dented, two weeks on from his loss to Anthony Joshua.

“The Problem Child” suffered a sixth-round knockout defeat to Joshua in their heavyweight clash on December 19 but Paul, who suffered a broken jaw during the contest, remained in positive spirits as he spoke about the future.

“We’re going to heal the broken jaw, come back and fight people my weight and go for the cruiserweight world title,” he said. “I’m going to take a little break. I’ve been going hard for six years. I’m going to take some time off.”

Paul has had two titanium plates fitted and some teeth removed after his jaw was broken, meaning he faces at least nine months on the sideline to recover, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

On top of that, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has officially dropped out of the World Boxing Association (WBA) cruiserweight rankings, just five months after he was inducted at No. 14 following his victory over former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Paul’s defeat to Joshua was reflected in the WBA’s latest schedule update, which was released on January 1.

What are the chances that Paul gets ranked again in the WBA’s cruiserweight standings? It will be difficult to bounce back from the broken jaw, but Paul says he is not considering retirement.

Jake Paul backed to “worm his way” into world title fight after Joshua defeat

Paul’s training partner David Adeleye believes the American is only a few regional wins away from earning himself a title shot.

“I see him getting back in the ring in 2026 to prove a point,” he told talkSPORT. “At what level nobody knows? It depends on his motivation. If he stays grounded they may match him perfectly.

“I think he could end up worming his way into a world title shot if he beats people at regional level in America. If he chooses certain fights and gets ranked top ten at the cruiserweight division, it could be a voluntary defence.

“If you are a champion, and you can get a certain amount of money, why not? You would take it.”

Adeleye added: “Getting a world title fight, I’m not saying he’s going to win it, but 100 per cent I think he could box for one. Beating the champion is a different ball game though.”

Incredible detail on how Anthony Joshua survived fatal crash emerges as charges for driver revealed

Nigerian police on Friday charged the driver of a car, carrying British boxer Anthony Joshua that was involved in a fatal crash, with “reckless” and “dangerous driving causing death”.

Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, was also charged with driving without a valid “driver’s licence” and “driving without due care and attention, causing bodily harm and damage to property”, Oluseyi Babaseyi, a spokesman for the police in Ogun state, told AFP.

He was granted a five million naira bail ($3,500) but will remain in detention until he meets bail conditions, Babaseyi said.

Kayode was driving the boxer and two of his friends, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, on a busy highway linking Lagos and Ibadan in southwest Nigeria when the Lexus SUV in which they were travelling rammed into a stationary truck on Monday.

Nigerian police and state officials said that Ayodele and Ghami died at the scene, while Joshua and the driver sustained minor injuries.

It’s since been revealed that Joshua only cheated death after changing seats in the vehicle at the last minute, according to The Telegraph.

The publication reports that it was claimed in court Joshua was initially in the front seat, but moved to the back of the SUV at the request of the driver, who was struggling to see the side mirror past the heavyweight boxer.

The Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) in Ogun state, where the accident occurred, told AFP earlier in the week that its preliminary investigations showed that the vehicle was moving at an excessive speed and had burst a tyre before the crash.

Kayode is due to appear in court on January 20.
