Tiger Woods’ pals raise alarm over his new romance with Vanessa Trump: 'He's in a very vulnerable state'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tiger Woods' relationship with Vanessa Trump has stirred up a storm and raised concern, particularly among his closest friends.

Reportedly, Woods put months of speculation to rest when he went Instagram official with Vanessa on March 24.

The golf legend posted a cozy snapshot of himself and Vanessa, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr, along with a heartfelt caption that read: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."

Adding to the buzz, none other than Ivanka Trump dropped a comment, fueling further public curiosity.

According to insiders, Woods, 49, felt “compelled” to make their relationship public in an effort to quell persistent rumors.

But despite the carefully crafted post, friends close to the athlete are reportedly worried, and their concerns are beginning to spill into the public arena.

Tiger Woods’ inner circle reportedly concerned

When questioned, President Donald Trump confirmed that Woods had personally informed him of the relationship and that he approved of the pairing.

Still, not everyone in Woods' orbit is popping the champagne.

Radar Online reported that since going public, the couple has taken a step back from the limelight. Woods, notably, skipped the opening night of the TGL Finals, a competition he himself created.

Though his absence was attributed to an Achilles injury that has sidelined him from the 89th Masters, it hasn’t stopped speculation.

Even Woods’ own cheeky April Fool’s Day prank, hinting at a surprise Augusta appearance, couldn’t distract from what his inner circle really fears.

Friends speak out about Tiger Woods 'very vulnerable state’

While Tiger Woods remains a legend in the world of golf, those close to him say he’s in a delicate phase of life, especially following a tumultuous few years marred by injury, scandal, and recovery.

"Tiger is in a very vulnerable state right now," an insider told Radar Online.

"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."

Though Woods isn’t exactly one to sit idle, he’s 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."

"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."

Vanessa Trump's  high-profile relationship after Don Jr

Vanessa Trump, a mother of five, including that of budding golfer Kai Trump, has long been part of the high-profile Trump family.

Her 12-year marriage to Donald Trump Jr ended in 2018, with the former couple expressing mutual respect and a commitment to co-parenting, in a joint statement at the time.

"After 12 years of marriage, we have decided to go our separate ways. We will always have tremendous respect for each other and our families. We have five beautiful children together and they remain our top priority. We ask for your privacy during this time."

Aside from her marriage to Don Jr, Vanessa has been linked to celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, only adding to her reputation as someone who thrives in the fast lane.
