Tiger Woods reportedly focused on supporting Vanessa Trump during cancer treatment as she begins next phase of recovery
Tiger Woods is reportedly dedicating much of his attention to supporting Vanessa Trump as she continues treatment following her breast cancer diagnosis.
According to multiple sources who spoke with People, the golf star has made Vanessa’s health his primary focus in recent weeks, even while managing his own legal and medical challenges following a March car crash and DUI charge in Florida.
Sources told the publication that Woods has been a significant source of support for Vanessa since her diagnosis and throughout the early stages of her treatment.
Vanessa publicly revealed on May 20 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. In a statement shared on social media, she said she was working closely with her medical team and thanked doctors who had recently performed a procedure.
Vanessa shares new update on treatment
Several weeks after announcing her diagnosis, Vanessa provided another update on her condition.
On June 13, she revealed that she had been recovering from surgery and was preparing to move forward with the next phase of her treatment plan.
Sources speaking to People said both Vanessa and Woods remain hopeful about the months ahead. One insider described Vanessa as understandably anxious about the situation but also determined to continue moving forward with treatment.
The source added that she is surrounded by strong support and has access to extensive medical resources as she focuses on recovery.
The reports come shortly after Woods completed a six-week treatment program in Switzerland.
According to People, the golfer traveled overseas in April and remained there through early May following his March 27 crash and DUI arrest. Court documents reviewed by the publication show that Woods entered a not guilty plea on March 31 and announced plans to seek treatment while focusing on his health.
He returned to the United States on May 13.
Insiders said Vanessa’s situation has shifted Woods’ attention away from many of his own personal difficulties, allowing him to focus on supporting someone he cares about.
Looking ahead
Woods and Vanessa publicly confirmed their relationship on social media in March 2025.
Vanessa shares five children with former husband Donald Trump Jr., while Woods is the father of two children from his previous marriage to Elin Nordegren.
Meanwhile, golf sources who spoke with People said Woods continues to work toward returning to the sport. One source described him as resilient, while another suggested that opportunities in golf remain available once he is ready to pursue them.
