MIAMI, FLORIDA: Tiger Woods's girlfriend Vanessa Trump resurfaced on Instagram for the first time since the golf legend’s latest brush with the law, choosing to keep things light amid the headline-grabbing crash that landed him in jail.

Vanessa, 48, the former daughter-in-law of President Trump, took to social media Saturday afternoon, a day after Woods was booked on DUI charges following a rollover crash in Florida.

But there was no mention of her embattled beau. Instead, she reshared two posts from her daughter, Kai Trump, who happened to be at the Miami Open when the wreck unfolded.

The first was a cheerful snapshot of her 17-year-old daughter smiling alongside youth golf pro Allan Kournikova and Jason Stacy, the coach of world No. 1 tennis player Aryna Sabalenka.

Vanessa, who filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr in 2018 and shares five children with him, has been publicly linked to Woods since last year. The couple hard-launched their relationship in March with a romantic social media post after weeks of speculation.

Just days before the crash, Vanessa and her daughter Kai, along with Chloe Trump, 11, were spotted in the crowd cheering Woods on at the TGL Finals in Palm Beach. 

Crash, charges, and a familiar pattern

According to police, Woods flipped his luxury Land Rover near his Jupiter Island home Friday afternoon after attempting to speed around a utility truck towing a trailer. The maneuver went sideways fast as he clipped the vehicle, sending his SUV rolling over.

Despite the wreckage, Woods crawled out unscathed. But officers at the scene noted something wasn’t right. They described him as “lethargic” and appearing to be under the influence of “some type of medication or drug.”

That observation would quickly turn into charges, including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test. Woods spent eight hours behind bars before being released.



Notably, neither Vanessa nor Kai was in the car at the time of the crash.

Still, the incident adds to a troubling record. This marks Woods’ second DUI arrest and his fourth public car crash. It's a pattern that’s becoming harder to ignore.

Furthermore, the crash came just days after Woods made his return to competitive golf at the TGL Finals.

Calls for accountability

PGA insiders and commentators wondered whether Woods should face consequences beyond the courtroom.

“I don’t like sugar-coating things, and the way I look at it, there’s got to be some sort of punishment or withdrawal or some sort of suspension from the game,” former PGA golfer Mark Lye said Saturday on “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

“I’m just wondering where the discipline that he’s learned to convey on the golf course is [going to] take hold in his personal life. Obviously, he’s got demons going on. We all feel bad for Tiger, but you know something, there’s got to be accountability, and it’s got to happen soon," he continued.



Lye urged the PGA to step in before the situation worsens, warning that Woods could once again “escape” meaningful consequences if no action is taken.

PGA Tour announcer Doug Bell pointed to the troubling pattern and suggested the golf icon might need to step away from the sport altogether.



“It’s troublesome to see what happened yesterday. It is a pattern that has developed,” Bell told the outlet. “He’s dealing with something that we don’t know what’s going on inside his head, the pain that he’s in from all the surgeries. Maybe stepping away might be the best thing, but it’s hard to keep a man this competitive away from something that he loves so, so much.”
