Vanessa Trump supports Tiger Woods, and she is not staying quiet about it. After the golf legend’s dramatic DUI arrest in Florida, his girlfriend has stepped forward with full support as he prepares for intensive treatment and recovery.
What Happened to Tiger Woods on March 27, 2026?
On March 27, 2026, Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida, which led to his arrest on DUI charges. The incident happened in the afternoon. Woods was driving behind a truck with a trailer when the trailer slowed. He tried to pass it, crossing a double solid line into oncoming traffic. The front-right of his SUV struck the trailer’s rear fender, flipping his vehicle onto its side.
Woods told a deputy that he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station when his SUV clipped the back of the truck and rolled over. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the crash.
What Did Police Find at the Scene?
Deputies who searched Woods after the crash found two white pills in his left side pocket. The pills, marked “M365,” were identified as hydrocodone, an opioid painkiller with a high risk of addiction, used to treat pain.
At the jail, Woods submitted to a breathalyzer test, where he provided 0.00 results on both samples. However, he declined to submit to a urine test, which resulted in an additional charge. He now faces two misdemeanor charges, DUI with property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test.
Tiger Woods Speaks Out, “I Am Stepping Away to Seek Treatment”
After the arrest, Woods broke his silence and released a public statement. He said he understood “the seriousness of the situation” and confirmed he was stepping away from golf to seek treatment and focus on his health.
He added that he is committed to returning to golf “in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally.” And, he also asked for privacy for his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Woods entered a not guilty plea to both charges earlier that week.

Vanessa Trump’s Two “Non-Negotiable” Rules for Tiger’s Rehab
Vanessa is not just emotionally supportive, she is also setting clear boundaries. According to sources, Vanessa gave Tiger two firm, non-negotiable rules for his treatment: it must be a real, hardcore rehab center, not a luxury retreat, and he must fix the problem permanently. She made it clear this is his one chance.
A source told the Daily Mail that Vanessa said: this must involve real doctors and counselors, and since the issue involves prescription pain medication, not harder drugs, it must be medically supervised. She set a hard line: fix it, and fix it permanently.
Who Is Vanessa Trump? Her Connection to Tiger Woods
Vanessa Trump is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. The couple was married for 12 years and have five children together. Vanessa and Tiger Woods have been dating for over a year, after first meeting through their children at The Benjamin School in Florida.
Their relationship has been closely watched, especially because of her connection to the Trump family. Bodycam footage even captured Woods telling a deputy, “I was just talking to the president,” shortly after the crash. It was unclear whether he was referring to President Donald Trump. Trump later publicly commented on the situation, calling Woods “a very close friend” and expressing deep sympathy.
Tiger Woods Has Faced DUI Charges Before, A Look Back
This is not Woods’ first encounter with the law. In 2017, Woods was found asleep at the wheel of his car in Palm Beach County, Florida, and was arrested on a DUI charge. He later entered a diversion program. The toxicology report showed no alcohol but detected multiple prescription medications. He spoke publicly about struggling with pain medication following back surgery.
The 2026 charges are more serious. The current case involves refusal to submit to a lawful test and DUI with property damage, making it legally more complex than the 2017 incident.
