Vanessa Trump has reportedly told Tiger Woods that she will end their relationship if his personal life continues to spiral out of control.
Woods, 50, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test on Friday (27 March).
According to Martin County Police, the 15-time major winner clipped a truck with his Land Rover while travelling at a “high rate of speed”.
He was breathalysed at the scene, returning “triple zeros”, according to Sheriff John Budensiek.

The 50-year-old was later bailed after being detained for eight hours.
A police report released after the incident said Woods had two hydrocodone — an opioid used as a painkiller — pills in his pocket at the time of the crash.
On Tuesday (31 March), Woods pleaded not guilty to the charges, the BBC reported.
Breaking his silence on the incident on Wednesday (1 April), Woods wrote on X: “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today.
“I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritise my wellbeing and work towards lasting recovery.”
The golfer had been in line to compete in the upcoming Masters, having not featured at a major since The Open in July 2024.
Aside from the impact on his sporting career, his close friends and family will also feel the effects of the fallout from the incident.
Woods is currently dating Vanessa, who was previously married to President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Jr, before the pair divorced in 2018.
Vanessa and Woods have been dating since 2024, with a source telling PEOPLE she remains happy with the golfer despite the crash.
However, another source has shed new light on her supposed feelings, telling The Sun she is “tired of the ups and downs”.
“Vanessa tries to lift him up, but she also feels like she’s carrying the weight of his ambitions almost alone,” the source said.
“When he’s in a bad mood — which happens often — he can be very difficult to be around.
“She’s told him directly that she’s not Elin or Lindsey Vonn — she won’t be as patient if he doesn’t get his act together quickly. If things don’t change, she’s prepared to walk away in the coming months.
“This is the last chance. She’s given him an ultimatum: either he changes and gets his life under control, or she’s gone for good.
“She’s exhausted, disappointed and keeps telling him to stop acting like a teenager, grow up, take responsibility, become emotionally stable and stay out of trouble.”
