Conflicting Reports on Donald Trump Jr.’s Feelings About Tiger Woods Being Around His Kids Emerge
Conflicting accounts are emerging about how Tiger Woods' crash and DUI arrest have impacted Donald Trump Jr.'s feelings about the golf legend spending time with his children. Woods has been romantically involved with Vanessa Trump, the mother of Trump Jr.'s five children, for well over a year now.
People Magazine: Tiger Woods’ DUI Arrest 'Raises Some Concerns' for Donald Trump Jr.
On March 30, 2026, People cited an insider close to the situation who claimed that Tiger Woods' crash and DUI arrest had raised concerns for Donald Trump Jr. about the golf icon being around his children. The outlet noted that although he has generally been supportive of Woods and Vanessa Trump's relationship, the recent incident left Trump Jr. with some worries.
“Don Jr. has been supportive of Tiger and Vanessa, especially when it comes to the kids, which is always his main focus. But the recent situation raised some concerns for him.”
The source went on to emphasize that Trump Jr. fully respects his ex-wife's independence while stressing that they co-parent as a team. "[Donald Trump Jr.] knows Vanessa can make her own decisions, but they’re a team when it comes to coparenting.”
Ultimately, People's source highlighted that Trump Jr.'s biggest reaction was focused on being relieved that the accident didn't endanger his children or his ex-wife. “He’s just thankful Vanessa and the kids weren’t involved.”
TMZ Pushes Back: Donald Trump Jr. Has Not Raised Any Concerns About the Kids
Later that same day, on March 30, 2026, TMZ published its own report that took a very different tone. It cited an insider who described Donald Trump Jr. having a different reaction to Tiger Woods' recent arrest and rollover accident. The outlet claimed that, despite other coverage claiming that he is concerned about his kids being around the golfer, that isn't the case.
Citing "sources with direct knowledge," TMZ reported that Trump Jr. isn't worried about Woods being a part of his kids' lives after the Jupiter Island incident. According to the report, the main reason he isn't concerned is that the five children he shares with Vanessa Trump weren't in the SUV when it crashed.
For the most part, the accounts from People and TMZ are nearly polar opposites of each other. Yet, the two reports aligned perfectly on one important detail. In both cases, the insiders emphasized Trump Jr's biggest response to the accident was to be thankful that his ex-wife and kids weren't involved.
