Tiger Woods finally had his say after it was widely reported that he was dating Vanessa Trump the ex-wife of Donald Snr’s son Donald Jr.
Woods, 49, is widely regarded as one of the best golfers of all time having won 82 official PGA Tour events.
Aside from his talent on the course, his personal life is often the subject of media speculation and in recent times he has been rumoured to be in a relationship with Vanessa, the ex-wife of Donald Jr.
The pair split after 13 years in 2018 and have five children together with the duo's eldest daughter Kai reportedly attending the same school as Woods' children Charlie and Sam.

Amid the rumours, Woods finally spoke out on Sunday by posting a statement on his Instagram page, which boasts 3.5m followers.
The 49-year-old posted two photographs of him and Vanessa - one of the pair lying on a hammock - with the caption: “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 to all those close to our hearts.”
Woods was recently photographed playing golf alongside US president Donald Snr, with the pair thought to be a part of ongoing negotiations regarding a peace deal between Saudi Arabia-backed LIV - a breakaway circuit - and the more traditional PGA Tour.
Ivanka, Donald Snr's daughter, and former sister-in-law of Vanessa also had her say after Woods' bombshell announcement.
"So happy for you both," she commented on the Instagram post with several 'love heart' emojis.
Ivanka previously described Vanessa as "Wonder Woman" when praising her connection with her children.
“My sister-in-law Vanessa is a machine,” Ivanka told PEOPLE in 2016. “She can take all of [my children] and not even notice. She has five children and she’s Wonder Woman to me.
“She really is such an amazing mother and really an inspiration to me and as her well with the in-laws, I’m very close with Jared’s brother and two sisters and they’re all on speed dial with advice for parenthood.”
