LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tiger Woods gave a fierce 4-word retort to his friends who warned him about his new relationship with Donald Trump's former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump.

The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday, April 30, that the golf legend’s friends warned him about dating the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr because of her ties to the POTUS.

An insider revealed to the outlet that Tiger Woods said, "F**k what people think" in response to his friends' concerns.

The source said, "Tiger has always been publicly apolitical. He has his beliefs and opinions, of course, but he doesn’t make a public spectacle of his political leanings. And dating someone in a political family looks like he’s choosing a side."

The insider added that the golfer "didn’t care one bit" about his friends' concerns.

"You can’t really tell Tiger to do something he doesn’t want to do. And he felt like this was an important enough relationship to go public with. If someone has a problem, that’s on them, not him," the source mentioned.

However, the insider also said that despite dating Vanessa, Woods isn't exactly making a political stance, even though he has been friends with the president for a while now.

The source said, "She’s his girlfriend who happens to have the Trump last name."

Meanwhile, Woods shares his two children — Sam, 17, and Charlie, 16 — with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren, and both of them are supporting him in his new relationship.

The source added, "The kids understood and were happy, and still are happy. It was more people thinking about his professional brand who worried about what would happen when the news came out."

Woods confirmed his relationship with Vanessa on March 24 by posting a picture of the couple cuddling in a hammock.

Tiger Woods' close friends believe he's in a fragile chapter of his life, especially after enduring years filled with injury, scandal, and recovery, an insider told Radar Online.

A source said, "Tiger is in a very vulnerable state right now. The last few years have been incredibly tough. And Vanessa's a real dynamo. She lives a very fast-paced lifestyle and there are concerns he won't be able to keep up with her."

Since getting into a relationship with Vanessa, Woods has built a relatively private and low-key lifestyle, something his friends say clashes with Vanessa’s high-octane world.

"Tiger's not some old man who just sits around moping all day, but he does have a fairly low-key life. And Vanessa's known to be a real jet-setter," the insider said.

The source added, "She's not someone who's going to stick around if she's not finding things exciting. Everyone's wondering how long it will be before she drops him like a hot rock."
