Why Tiger Woods is keeping things discreet with Vanessa Trump.
Their romance may now be public, but Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are said to be keeping at least one boundary firmly in place.
According to the Daily Mail, the pair have quietly agreed on a rule they follow whenever they step outside together.
Although they live just minutes apart in Palm Beach, Florida, and have begun appearing in public at select events, insiders say they are intentionally keeping one aspect of their relationship private.
Keeping it low-key
Woods, one of golf’s most recognisable figures, has faced intense scrutiny over his personal life for years.
His new relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., initially raised questions among friends concerned about political baggage and the public spotlight.
Despite that, sources told the Daily Mail the couple’s day-to-day life is unusually ordinary: evenings at home, takeout dinners, movie nights and spending time with their children.
But outside that private sphere, one boundary remains.
A no-PDA agreement
The pair have reportedly agreed to avoid public displays of affection when attending events or appearing together at tournaments.
The decision, according to those close to them, is a deliberate effort to keep their relationship grounded and to avoid inviting unnecessary attention.
“When they do go out in public, like they have for two different golf tournaments, they lay off the PDA,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Movie nights, binge-watching shows, eating takeout — that makes them happy. They’re honestly just like everyone else in their dating life.”
The same source suggested that for Woods, the quiet routine represents a welcome shift from years of high-profile relationships and global travel.
Navigating public perception
Friends reportedly expressed concern that Woods dating someone tied to a major political family could appear like a public political endorsement.
While Vanessa Trump’s background brings unavoidable associations, those who know Woods insist he has long avoided public political alignment.
“He has his beliefs and opinions, of course, but he doesn’t make a public spectacle of his political leanings,” the insider said. “And dating someone in a political family looks like he’s choosing a side.”
Both Woods’ and Trump’s children are said to be aware of the relationship and supportive. The real worry, sources explained, was how the pairing might affect Woods’ professional brand, not the relationship itself.
