Golfing icon Tiger Woods ushered in his 50th year with a spectacular, celebrity-filled double celebration in Florida, with his high-profile girlfriend Vanessa Trump firmly by his side.
A Star-Studded Night of Celebration
The 15-time major champion, who officially turned 50 in late December, hosted an opulent party on Wednesday night. The event served a dual purpose: marking his personal milestone and commemorating three decades of his charitable TGR Foundation. The lavish gathering was held at The Breakers hotel in the billionaire enclave of Palm Beach, Florida, and played host to an estimated 300 VIP guests.
While Woods mingled with the star-studded attendees, sources noted he spent much of the evening close to his 48-year-old partner. "Tiger was with Vanessa but also busy talking to people he knows from the charity," an insider told People Magazine. "They seemed to have a great time." Another source commented on the couple's compatibility, stating, "Vanessa and Tiger have a lot in common with each other and with their kids. And each is the other's ideal type."
Red Carpet Glamour and Secret Service Security
Themed 'RED: Celebrating Legacy' in honour of Woods's signature final-round tournament colour, the event saw all guests incorporate a touch of crimson. The golfer himself chose a classic dark tuxedo with a red tie and pocket square, while Vanessa Trump stunned in a slinky black dress paired with red high heels.
Security was exceptionally tight, with local and state police flooding the hotel corridors. Secret Service agents were also present, keeping a watchful eye near the ballroom doors. Among the revelers inside was Vanessa's 18-year-old daughter, Kai Trump, who was seen sporting a cast on her arm following recent wrist surgery.
The night's entertainment featured a special acoustic set from rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, who owns a $43 million mansion in the exclusive area. Exclusive photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed Woods and Vanessa chatting with the rocker ahead of his performance.
A Menu Fit for a Champion
Guests were treated to a feast that paid homage to Woods's five Masters Tournament victories. The menu was a curated mix of dishes from his past Champions Dinners and included:
- Sushi and crab cakes
- Porterhouse steaks and cheeseburgers
- Steak and chicken fajitas with stuffed jalapenos
- French fries and milkshakes
The glowing tribute event concluded shortly after 10pm, with guests departing with commemorative small black boxes.
Woods and Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., went public with their romance in March 2024 after meeting at their children's school. The relationship has reportedly received approval from both Donald Trump Jr. and former President Donald Trump. As Woods contemplates the next chapter of his career following a series of injuries, insiders suggest Vanessa has provided significant stability. "She came into his life at just the right time," a source close to Woods revealed. "She has added so much stability on the home front, and he gushes about her influence in his life."
