## Key points
- In a twist of fate worthy of a soap opera, Tiger Woods declares his love for a new partner while subtly asking for privacy—perhaps hoping to avoid another scandal that could make headlines faster than a golf ball off the tee.
- Tiger Woods announces new relationship on X, sharing intimate photos and expressing excitement for their future together.
- He requests privacy for loved ones during this new chapter in his life.
- Woods, 49, has a history of high-profile relationships, including with Elin Nordegren and Lindsey Vonn.
- Trump, 47, was previously married to Donald Trump's eldest daughter and has five children from that marriage.

In a post on X that announced their relationship, Woods also included a pair of photos, one showing them standing side by side and another with them lying together.

"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together," Woods, 49, wrote. "At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."

Trump, 47, was married to U.S. President Donald Trump's eldest child from 2005 to 2018 and they had five children together.

Woods was previously married to Swede Elin Nordegren but they divorced in 2010 less than a year after the golfer became embroiled in an infidelity scandal that rocked the sports world.

The 15-times major champion has been involved in other high-profile relationships since, including with American skiing great Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman, the latter which ended in a since-dropped lawsuit that claimed Woods unfairly evicted her from the home she once shared with the golfer.
