Insider claims Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are ‘each other’s ideal type’ after couple’s loved-up display at his lavish 50th birthday bash
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are seemingly as loved-up as ever as the golf icon celebrated his 50th birthday with his high-profile girlfriend by his side.
The 15-time major winner, who turned 50 at the end of last month, toasted the milestone in a lavish bash on Wednesday as a co-celebration of 30 years of his charitable foundation.
The opulent party, which took place at The Breakers hotel in the billionaire enclave of Palm Beach, Florida, hosted 300 VIP guests who enjoyed a feast that honored the sporting great’s five Masters victories.
And while Woods mingled with the star-studded guest list, he reportedly spent a lot of the night cozied up to his 48-year-old girlfriend.
‘Tiger was with Vanessa but also busy talking to people he knows from the charity,’ a source told People Magazine.
‘There was some serious partying going down all night by the philanthropists and other high profile guests,’ they continued.
‘They seemed to have a great time,’ the source added.
Meanwhile, another insider weighed in on the romance, claiming that the golfing legend and former wife of Donald Trump Jr. were a match made in heaven.
‘Vanessa and Tiger have a lot in common with each other and with their kids,’ they told the outlet. ‘And each is the other’s ideal type.’
Earlier this week, exclusive Daily Mail photos reveal the recently minted couple with Jon Bon Jovi, who performed an acoustic set ahead of the banquet that honored the sporting great’s five Masters victories.
The love birds, who went public with their romance last March, quietly slipped into the main ballroom for the stunning event, The Daily Mail revealed.
The 15-time major winner chose a classic dark tuxedo look with a red tie and red pocket square, while Vanessa stunned in a slinky black dress and red high heels while carrying a gold clutch bag.
Massive security surrounded the party, with local and state cops flooding hotel corridors.
Meanwhile, Secret Service agents were warily eyeing anyone passing the ballroom doors – behind which Vanessa’s golf protege daughter Kai also was among the revelers.
The 18-year-old presidential granddaughter was seen with a cast on her arm after recent surgery on her wrist.
Woods and his new love chatted with the throng of guests enjoying cocktails and canapes as pop music played at around 6.30pm.
They then slipped out to a nearby small reception room to greet 63-year-old Bon Jovi.
Woods beamed as he had his picture taken with the rock legend, who has a $43million mansion in the exclusive beach town, also home to President Donald Trump. The couple then headed back to mingle.
Just after 7pm, Bon Jovi nipped across the corridor that was guarded by another phalanx of Secret Service agents to head into the ballroom for his acoustic set.
Woods’s combined bash for his TGR Foundation and birthday – which was in December – was given the title RED: Celebrating Legacy.
The color element was down to his signature dress code for the final day of a golf tournament, when he always wears red, a tradition started by his mother, Kultida, who believed it empowered him.
All the guests wore some element of the color as they tucked into the menu of a mix of items from his five Masters Championship dinners.
These included sushi, porterhouse steaks, crab cakes, cheeseburgers, steak and chicken fajitas, stuffed jalapenos, French fries and milkshakes.
Woods and Vanessa, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., are just over a year into their relationship

The glowing tribute event wound up shortly after 10pm, with revelers flowing out of the ballroom clutching their small black boxes.
Woods and Vanessa began dating in November 2024 after meeting at events at the $38,595-a-year Benjamin School, where both their children attended.
Vanessa married ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. in 2005 and divorced in 2018. They share five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe. The divorce was relatively amicable, and both Donald Jr. and his father, President Donald Trump, have put their seals of approval on her relationship with Woods, Daily Mail can reveal.
Woods shares two kids – Sam Alexis and Charlie – with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, whom he married in 2004 and divorced in 2010 after a shocking sex scandal in which he publicly admitted to cheating on her with multiple women during their six-year marriage.
And as Woods’ career winds down after a litany of injuries, it appears he is leaning on his new girlfriend more and more.
‘She came into his life at just the right time,’ a source close to Woods told the Daily Mail. ‘She showed up as he was seriously considering what happens next in his career. She has added so much stability on the home front, and he gushes about her influence in his life.’
