Tiger Woods has confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump.

The 49-year-old golfer has been romantically linked with the blonde beauty - who was previously married to US President Donald Trump's son Donald Jr. - for some time and on Sunday (23.03.25), he took to X to declare how much "better" his life is with the mother-of-five in it.

Sharing two photos of them together, he wrote on the social media platform: “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together… At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

It was recently claimed that Tiger and Vanessa had bonded over their children's passion for golf, with his son Charlie, 16, and her daughter Kai, 17, both rising stars in the sport.

A source told People magazine: “Their kids are going places in golf and both very disciplined about the sport. They have that in common.”

As well as Donald - with whom she also has Donald III, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and 10-year-old Chloe - Vanessa's past relationships include Leonardo DiCaprio and Saudi prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud and though she hasn't sought out a public profile, she is comfortable dating men who are in the spotlight.

Another source told People: They added to People: “Vanessa has always gone for guys who are either well known or have something big going for them.

“She is comfortable with that, but she’s not a woman who wants to be in the limelight.

“She is not a shrinking violet but is discreet and smart and a good mother. That has come first in her life.”

A third source said Vanessa, like Tiger, is “interested in charity work” and remains focused on her children while navigating the new romance.

As well as Charlie, Tiger also has daughter Sam, 17, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, who he split from in 2010.

In February, Tiger accompanied Vanessa and Kai to the Genesis Invitational in San Diego.

Shortly after, he was honoured at the White House by her former father-in-law, during a Black History Month reception.

Broncos Meeting With Coveted Ohio State RB, per Report

Broncos Meeting With Coveted Ohio State RB, per Report

The Denver Broncos have been doing a lot of work on the running back draft class dating back to the NFL Scouting Combine. The Broncos continued by bringing in multiple running backs for team visits, with one more on Wednesday, the final day for visits. It's worth noting that in two years under Sean Payton, the Broncos have only ever drafted one player they brought in for a visit, with that being cornerback Riley Moss, whom they traded up for in the 2023 NFL draft. Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson is the latest and last player the Broncos will have in for a visit, per 9NEWS' Mike Klis. "Broncos are visiting with Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson today. Many mocksters believe he’s ideal fit for Payton’s system as he’s both a rush/receiver threat. Two 1,000+yd rush/27 catch seasons at Ohio State. Henderson visited Steelers yesterday, pick one slot after Broncos," Klis posted on X. Most teams use visits for players in whom they have remaining questions, whether it's for character or medical reasons, and Henderson still has some on the health side. He dealt with a broken bone in his foot in 2022 and another injury that caused him to miss time in the 2023 season, and some draft analysts have said he got flagged by some teams for medicals at the Combine. Henderson is viewed as a great do-it-all option with good rushing ability, receiving, and being one of the better blockers in the class. He has a good build on his frame and runs with a good center of gravity, making it hard to bring him down. Henderson also had great production in 2024, with 144 carries for 1,016 yards and 27 receptions for 284 yards and 16 total touchdowns. 2024 was his only full season despite having more carries in 2023, all while splitting time with Quinshon Judkins, whom the Broncos also brought in for a visit. Ball security isn’t an issue, and Henderson can be efficient in any run scheme. There are some concerns about his workload and how he ran between the tackles, but both are less of a problem when you look at how Payton has used running backs over his head coaching career. The question for the Broncos is, do they love Henderson enough to take him at 20, trade down and try to get him later, or risk him being there when they are on the clock with the 51st overall pick? Depending on how much you buy into team visits, which Payton's history suggests you shouldn’t, the visit could be a sign the Broncos are willing to wait and want another check on the medicals. Suppose the Broncos did end up with Henderson. In that case, they'd be getting an exceptionally talented back, who fits extremely well with Payton's offense, and the Broncos would be betting on their medical staff and the planned usage can keep Henderson on the field consistently.

Steelers definitely didn't leave meeting with Aaron Rodgers empty-handed

Steelers definitely didn't leave meeting with Aaron Rodgers empty-handed

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in the headlines a ton lately as they continue to be the most likely landing spot for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two sides have had some sort of mutual interest in coming together since the first week of free agency, but Rodgers is continuing to take his time when deciding his future. Pittsburgh is the only legitimate and logical landing spot for the four-time MVP at the moment, but a starting job could open up elsewhere — which is why he is not rushing anything. Retirement is also a possibility as Rodgers will turn 42 in the middle of the 2025 season. Rodgers is a polarizing figure in the NFL, and it seems like the fan base in Pittsburgh is relatively split on the organization signing him. Many are unhappy with how long this process is taking, and frustration is certainly building in the city of Pittsburgh. The 2025 NFL Draft is just over a week away, and the Steelers could find themselves in a spot to take a quarterback, which makes it of the utmost importance that Rodgers makes his decision before the event. Team insider Mark Kaboly is not as worried as some fans however, as he proclaimed on X that the franchise had to have gotten some sort of reassurance from Rodgers or his team that he would end up signing in Pittsburgh. "Do you really believe that the Steelers weren't given some kind of assurance that Aaron Rodgers plans on signing with them?" Kaboly asked. "You think they are that stupid? Sure, nothing is guaranteed with Rodgers until it is, but they most definitely got more than an inkling of what's going to happen." Pittsburgh is historically known as one of the most consistent and successful organizations in all of sports, so it is a bit odd to see it in this state of limbo as it waits for a free agent to make a decision. If the season began today, the organization would be relying on Mason Rudolph to go out and start, which is not exactly a recipe for success. Kaboly is right, the Steelers would have had to have had some verbal agreement with Rodgers to be comfortable allowing him to wait this long before signing. He took a visit to the facility a couple of weeks ago to meet the coaching staff, and he spent a good portion of the day there. And all things looked like they went well. He didn't sign then, but the Steelers could have gotten a good feeling for what was going to happen moving forward, which is why the franchise is not panicking. With the draft approaching, fans should expect a decision from Rodgers shortly. If there was any caveat in giving Rodgers his time and space, it was likely that a decision had to be made before the NFL Draft. Pittsburgh wants to build a Super Bowl-winning roster, and it is best to do that through the draft. It would be difficult to do without a quarterback in place. Whether Rodgers signs or doesn't shouldn't dictate if the Steelers decide to draft a quarterback. The organization needs to figure out what is going to happen at that position in the future, and Rodgers should be viewed as a temporary Band-Aid. Pittsburgh could be in a position to select either Jaxson Dart or Shedeur Sanders in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Rodgers would be a great veteran to sit behind and learn from while developing.

Giants appear to be setting stage for unexpected draft move

Giants appear to be setting stage for unexpected draft move

The New York Giants have been doing additional homework on some of the top quarterbacks in the NFL Draft, which has led to speculation that they may pass on a generational talent like Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick. But what if they are setting themselves up to address multiple needs on Day 1? Shedeur Sanders is scheduled to hold a private workout for a contingent of Giants officials on Thursday night. That could mean the Giants are thinking about drafting the former Colorado star with the third pick. Though recent reports have indicated most teams do not view Sanders as a player who is worthy of a high selection. Sanders is not the only quarterback the Giants are planning to meet with before the draft. They also have workouts scheduled with Alabama’s Jalen Milroe and Louisville’s Tyler Shough. As Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports noted on Tuesday, the Giants are preparing for all possibilities. One realistic scenario that could unfold is New York drafting either Hunter or Carter with the No. 3 pick and then trading up into the back half of the first round to draft its quarterback of the future. That seems logical, and it is a possibility that was laid out by one ESPN analyst about Sanders. If the Giants agree with other teams that Sanders is not worthy of the third overall pick, perhaps they buy into the idea that the quarterback could experience the dreaded draft-day slide. Maybe New York does not value Sanders highly enough to pass up on a can't-miss prospect like Hunter or Carter. That does not mean the Giants have ruled out targeting Sanders or another quarterback later in the first round. The Giants also have the second pick in the second round, which is No. 34 overall. A top quarterback prospect could be available then, too. Though they signed Russell Wilson this offseason, the Giants do not have their quarterback of the future on the roster. They seem to be setting the stage to draft one, even if they use their first pick on another position.

Cowboys install championship mentality in 3-round NFL mock draft

Cowboys install championship mentality in 3-round NFL mock draft

The NFL Draft is fast approaching, and the Dallas Cowboys are hoping to use their draft picks to catapult themselves from a losing record to NFL contenders in one offseason. Dallas is in dire need of playmakers on both sides of the ball, and given their lack of playoff success over the past few decades, their best bet may be to draft players with championship experience and a winning mentality. Adding players with championship pedigree and a winning mentality could be the spark that finally changes the culture in Dallas and pushes the team closer to title contention. Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer has the Cowboys doing just that in his three-round mock draft, selecting only Ohio State Buckeyes to help reshape the roster. Iyer’s first-round projection has the Cowboys addressing their top offseason priority by selecting wide receiver Emeka Egbuka. "The Cowboys can go after a complementary, technically-sound outside receiver to support CeeDee Lamb, and they should have plenty of confidence in yet another savvy Buckeye". Iyer’s next selection has the Cowboys continuing to bolster the defensive line after All-Pro edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence left in free agency by drafting J.T. Tuimoloau, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound defensive end. "The Cowboys can go back to Columbus with confidence and land a favorable replacement for departed stalwart Demarcus Lawrence." Tuimoloau was a key component of the Buckeyes' championship season, recording 12.5 sacks and 22 tackles for loss during his senior year. Iyer’s third selection has the Cowboys adding versatile running back TreVeyon Henderson, who formed a dominate one-two punch with Quinshon Judkins last season. "The Cowboys can find their lead-back solution by going back to Ezekiel Elliott's alma mater for a versatile option with high receiving upside to go with solid power running." It is hard to imagine any draft scenarios that could offer as much of an impact for the Cowboys as this three-round haul.
