The public has always been fascinated by the women in the life of the golf icon, from his former wife Elin Nordegren to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, and this article will provide the complete, up-to-the-minute timeline of his most significant public relationships.

The Early Years and The High-Profile Marriage to Elin Nordegren
Woods's public dating life began long before the infamous scandals, but his relationship with Swedish model Elin Nordegren remains the most significant due to their marriage and children. Nordegren was working as a nanny for golfer Jesper Parnevik when she was introduced to Woods in 2001.
Elin Nordegren (2001–2010)
The couple began dating after being introduced at the 2001 Open Championship. Woods proposed to Nordegren in late 2003, and they were married in a lavish ceremony at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados in October 2004. Their marriage produced two children, daughter Sam Alexis Woods and son Charlie Axel Woods, who has begun to follow in his father's golfing footsteps.
The marriage ended dramatically in 2009 after a Thanksgiving night car crash near their Florida home led to the unraveling of Woods’s infidelity. The ensuing scandal, which involved multiple women, became a global media firestorm. The couple officially divorced in August 2010. Despite the tumultuous end, they have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Lindsey Vonn (2012–2015)
Following his divorce and a period of intense media scrutiny, Woods began dating Olympic gold medalist and ski superstar Lindsey Vonn in 2012. Their relationship was the first major public romance for Woods after his divorce, connecting two of the world's biggest sports figures.
The pair often attended each other's events, bringing high-wattage celebrity to both the golf course and the ski slopes. They dated for nearly three years, concluding their relationship in May 2015, citing the demanding and hectic travel schedules of their respective athletic careers as the reason for the split.
The Erica Herman Chapter: Lawsuits, NDAs, and the Shocking 2025 Resolution
Woods’s longest and most recent serious relationship before the current one was with Erica Herman. Their romance began around 2017, and Herman, a former restaurant manager, was frequently seen supporting Woods at major championships, including his emotional Masters win in 2019.
Erica Herman (2017–2023)
Herman was a constant presence in Woods’s life, often accompanying him and his children to events. Their relationship lasted for approximately six years, establishing a period of stability for the golfer. However, the relationship ended in late 2022 or early 2023, leading to a highly publicized legal battle.
In 2023, Herman filed two lawsuits against Woods and his trust. One was for $30 million, alleging breach of an oral tenancy agreement for the home they shared. The other was a request to be released from a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) she had signed, arguing that the NDA should be nullified under the Speak Out Act, which voids NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment.
The legal drama captivated the public, raising questions about the private terms of their separation. However, in a surprising turn of events in 2025, Erica Herman dropped both the $30 million lawsuit and her appeal to the NDA. This move effectively ended the legal saga and cleared the path for Woods to move on without the threat of a public legal battle, making this one of the most significant updates of the year.
The Newest Chapter: Tiger Woods is Dating Vanessa Trump (2025 Update)
The most current and unexpected update in Tiger Woods's romantic life came in early 2025. After the legal resolution with Herman, Woods was spotted at a Florida golf tournament in February 2025 with Vanessa Trump.
Vanessa Trump (2025–Present)
In March 2025, the relationship was officially confirmed, revealing that the golf legend is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. The pair reportedly live only about 20 minutes apart in a Southern Florida enclave, which likely facilitated the development of their relationship. Woods has made his commitment clear, with reports indicating he is "all into his new relationship" with Vanessa.
Vanessa Trump, a former model and actress, was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they share five children. This new coupling places Woods back in the celebrity spotlight with a partner who is also a well-known public figure, continuing the pattern of high-profile relationships that have defined his personal life. The relationship is currently the most talked-about topic in the world of celebrity sports and is a fresh start for the golf icon following a tumultuous period.
A Legacy of Scrutiny and Resilience
Tiger Woods's personal relationships have been as much a part of his public narrative as his 15 major championships. His life has been a relentless cycle of highs and lows, from the global adoration during his marriage to Elin Nordegren to the media fallout of his infidelity and the recent legal battles with Erica Herman.
Despite the intense scrutiny, Woods has consistently shown a remarkable ability to recover and refocus on his career and family. The latest confirmation that he is dating Vanessa Trump signals a definitive new chapter, one that the public will undoubtedly be watching closely as he continues to balance his demanding career on the PGA Tour with his evolving personal life.
