Vanessa Trump is showing her support for boyfriend Tiger Woods after he was arrested for driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
“Love you,” Trump, 48, wrote via her Instagram Story on Friday, April 3, alongside a photo of herself and Woods, 50, with two red heart emojis.
The couple have been linked since 2024. Last month, Woods was arrested after his SUV was found on its side following a two-vehicle crash.
Woods was booked and released after spending eight hours in police custody, with Sheriff John Budensiek addressing what led to the golfer’s criminal charges.
“Our DUI investigators came to the scene here. Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment,” the sheriff explained during a press conference. “They did several tests. He did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had. We did take that into account.”
Budensiek continued: “Mr. Woods did a breathalyzer test with triple zeros, but when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, so he’s been charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.”
According to Budensiek, “it doesn’t matter who you are … if you break the law, we’re going to follow the law. That’s a really easy path to take.”
Woods ultimately addressed his arrest on Tuesday, March 31, announcing via social media that he would be stepping away from golf to seek treatment.
“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” he wrote via X. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
He continued: “I’ve committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
Us Weekly later confirmed that a judge allowed Woods to travel out of the country for his treatment.
“Ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment,” Woods’ lawyer, Douglas Duncan. wrote in an April document. “Based upon Defendant’s treating physician’s opinions, inpatient treatment at the out of country treatment facility is medically necessary due to the Defendant’s complexity, and need for an intensive highly individualized and medically integrated program.”
