Vanessa Trump has shared a new social media post after her boyfriend, Tiger Woods, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence last Friday.

The former wife of Donald Trump Jr opted not to comment on the incident directly, instead sharing her daughter Kai Trump's Instagram post from the Miami Open tennis tournament.

Kai, 18, had posted photographs of herself and her 13-year-old brother, Spencer, watching the women's final between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.

Her caption read, "I had a great time at the Miami Open! Huge congrats to my friend [Sabalenka] for getting the win. I love what [Sabalenka] and [Gauff] are doing for women sports!"

Vanessa shared the post to her story.

Neither Vanessa nor Kai were travelling with Woods when the crash occurred, with the golfer driving alone at the time.

Woods, 50, was taken into custody on Jupiter Island, Florida, following a collision that saw his Land Rover overturn on Friday afternoon.

The 15-time major champion had allegedly attempted to pass a truck and trailer at speed, clipping the rear of the vehicle and causing his SUV to tip onto its side.

Sheriff John Budensiek confirmed at a press conference that Woods registered zero on a breathalyser test but declined to submit a urine sample.

The sheriff told reporters: "When it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he's been charged with DUI."

Police noted Woods appeared to be under the influence of "some type of medication or drug."

A source close to the couple told the Daily Mail that Vanessa is "not happy at all" about the situation, describing her as "both disappointed and a little bit p****d."

The insider added that she has told Woods "he's going to get this sorted out" and that she will "require" him to address the issue.

Woods is reportedly "very apologetic" and keen to "fix" matters, according to the source.

The pair went public with their relationship in March 2025, with Woods posting at the time: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!"

President Trump gave his blessing to the couple, declaring himself "very happy for both" of them.

He responded emotionally when reporters asked him about the incident on Friday: "I feel so badly... There was an accident, and that's all I know. A very close friend of mine. He's an amazing person, an amazing man."

It has emerged that the Secret Service had already prohibited Woods from driving Vanessa's five children prior to this latest incident, marking his fourth significant car accident and second DUI arrest.

Sources have suggested Woods was likely taking legal opioids at the time, with officers describing him as "lethargic."

The crash has almost certainly ended his hopes of competing at the Masters in Augusta next month.

Woods was hoping to return to the competition to add to his historic victories in 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, and, miraculously, in 2019 after severe injuries.

Beyond his championship tally, Woods holds several remarkable Augusta National records.

In 1997, he became the youngest champion ever, aged 21, winning by an astonishing 12 strokes.

Additionally, he shares the tournament's all-time low score of 18 under par.
