Tiger Woods Hard Launching Romance With Vanessa Trump Leaves Fans Confused: 'No One Knows What It Means'

Tiger Woods finally breaks his silence on his rumored romance with Vanessa Trump by going Instagram official!

The renowned golfer made waves weeks earlier after sources revealed he was dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife. Naturally, his unexpected romantic link to the Trump family stunned many and disappointed others.

However, unlike the mixed reactions to his new relationship, Tiger Woods' confirmation post united fans in confusion.

The World Golf Hall of Fame honoree hard launched his relationship with Vanessa on Sunday, March 23. He shared two images depicting their close bond, with the first capturing them side by side while their arms were wrapped around each other's waist.

The second image showcased Woods and Vanessa cuddling up on a lounge chair with sunglasses while enjoying the sun. If these images did not clue fans in on their romance, the athlete's caption left no room for doubt. He raved about their relationship, writing:

"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."

Although Woods' relationship update received over six thousand comments, several commenters were confused by his message.

They wondered why the golfer pleaded for privacy after making his relationship public. "No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. It gets the people going," someone noted about Woods' caption.

Another echoed similar sentiments, writing: "Confused on how one requests privacy when making public announcements." A third claimed they read Woods' message "10 times," yet they still couldn't figure out what it meant. Someone speculated the athlete's post stemmed from Vanessa's demands, wondering:

"Is this one of those 'you better post me' situations? Lol."

The speculations about Woods' relationship announcement continued with a fan declaring it "the most un Tiger Woods-like post I've ever seen."

Another asked Woods to "blink twice" if he was in danger while someone berated Woods, noting he should have kept his romance private instead of pleading for privacy.

Besides the general confusion, Woods' privacy plea had some fans trolling him. One called him out by his birth name, noting his post was "possibly the most awkward hard launch I've seen, Eldrick." Another supported the Vanessa theory, believing he "lost a bet" with his new girlfriend.

An IG user echoed similar sentiments, claiming Vanessa had stolen Woods' phone. "Bruh, WHO is this?" a bewildered fan asked while someone wondered if Woods' Instagram account had been hacked. "Announcer: But he really didn't want privacy, or else he wouldn't have posted," a fan trolled Woods.

These hilarious reactions to the athlete's romance come over a week after The Blast reported his relationship with Vanessa. A source close to the Trump family confirmed Woods and Donald Jr.'s ex-wife had been dating for several months with the politician's support.

The insider noted Donald Jr. was unbothered by Woods' relationship with Vanessa, and the same sentiment seemingly applied to his growing relationship with his daughter. The golfer has reportedly been spending quality time with the former couple's child, Kai.

The teenager was one of the reasons behind Woods and Vanessa's close bond, as a talented golfer committed to play for the University of Miami. The trio were spotted arriving together at a golf tournament in Florida, one of their rare public appearances as a couple.

A source claimed Woods and Vanessa avoided being seen in public together, noting they preferred keeping things low-key and staying closer to home. "She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They're not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week," they shared.

As stated, Woods and Vanessa's relationship received mixed reactions on social media. Some couldn't believe the athlete would be romantically linked to the Trump family, with a critic labeling the situation "gross." Another wondered if his past injury was related to his new romance, writing:

"Tiger Woods secretly dating Vanessa Trump. Tiger Woods ruptured [his] Achilles tendon. Coincidence?"

A third added, "How's this for a crazy life situation? Tiger Woods is dating Don Jr.'s ex-wife Vanessa. Imagine they get married. So when Kai Trump gets asked who's your grandfather? Donald Trump! Who is your stepfather? Tiger Woods! Who's the godfather of your first child? Elon Musk!"

Did Tiger Woods plead for privacy to stop the speculations and theories about his relationship with Vanessa Trump?
