Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, who both live in Florida, are just 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month.
Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods’ children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School together.
Woods and Vanessa were absent from the junior golf tournament in South Carolina that both Kai and Charlie played in this week.
Don Jr. was also absent from the contest, despite sources saying he is ‘cool’ with his ex-wife’s new relationship. Woods’s ex-wife Elin Nordegren was also a no-show at the event.
Woods had reportedly called Elin shortly after flagging off the new dating voyage. Her response initially was “Seriously? A Trump? For real?”,’ the insider says. ‘She was more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.
‘They’re not the type to give each other their “blessing” per se, but they keep each other in the loop with anyone who is going to spend any amount of time around the kids.’
Other members of the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa and Don Jr.’s children, were already aware they are an item, one source said.
A source said: ‘Tiger and Vanessa have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving.
‘She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week.
‘They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.’
