After six weeks at a rehabilitation facility in Zurich, Tiger Woods returned to Florida and the support of girlfriend Vanessa Trump, arriving on American soil on May 14 with what those close to him describe as a renewed commitment to recovery.

The Arrest and Treatment

The golfer’s treatment stint followed his March 27 DUI arrest and car crash, during which authorities said they discovered two hydrocodone pills in his left pocket. Woods, 50, checked into the Swiss program targeting his dependency on painkillers linked to chronic injuries that have plagued the back half of his career.

“Tiger took his trip seriously and is all about continuing his recovery and putting this chapter behind him,” a source in Jupiter, Florida, told People. “He is in good spirits and also can’t wait to put the legal issues to rest.”

The Arrest That Cost Him Augusta

The incident forced Woods to abandon plans for a potential Masters appearance. The 15-time major champion had publicly said he was hoping to compete at Augusta, where he’s won five green jackets. Instead, he announced his decision to enter treatment four days after the crash.

Woods’ final competitive outing before the arrest came on March 24, when his Jupiter Links GC team took on Los Angeles Golf Club in the TGL finals at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Photographs captured Vanessa Trump embracing him before the match that night — imagery that now marks the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another.

A Florida judge recently ruled that prosecutors will be granted access to Woods’ prescription drug history, a ruling that may influence how his DUI case unfolds in the months ahead.

A Relationship Built on Shared Ground

Trump, 48, and Woods have been dating for roughly a year, with sources characterizing their relationship as steady and grounded in shared interests, particularly golf. The couple maintained regular contact during his absence, and insiders say their bond remained unchanged throughout his treatment.

“Vanessa and Tiger are in love, still serious, and happy to see each other,” a source told the New York Post, adding that Trump is eager to help him continue with his progress and move beyond public scandals.

Woods has insisted on privacy as he settles back into life at his Jupiter home, while Trump — ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. — continues managing the responsibilities of raising five children while maintaining their relationship.

Vanessa Trump announced recently that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The model and socialite shared the news in an Instagram post.

A Blended Family Forming Around Golf

Woods has developed close ties with Trump’s five children — Kai, 19; Donald, 17; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 11 — who have become like family to him, according to those familiar with the household. He shares two children with ex-wife Elin Nordegren: Sam Alexis, 18, and Charlie, 17. The similar ages have helped the two families merge more seamlessly.

Kai has formed an especially strong connection with Woods. Sources describe her as a serious golfer with significant ambitions in the sport, and she has become a regular presence in Woods’ inner circle.

A second source said the couple’s busy schedules have not strained the relationship. “Both of them have responsibilities outside of their personal lives and that factors into how much time they can spend together,” the source said. “But each has an ex to share the kids with, so they have had enough time to keep the romance going.”

What Comes Next

Woods has reportedly thrown himself back into his fitness regimen and is considering how he might return to competitive golf. Friends have suggested he hire a driver moving forward, though one source expressed skepticism that he would follow through on that advice.

“Golf is very much on Tiger’s mind and will be in [the] coming months as he gets back to it here in whatever ways he can,” a source in the golf community told People. “Golf is who he is, and those in the sport respect and like him. He will do whatever he has to to get back in whatever way he can in light of his injuries and age. He is not a quitter.”

The immediate priorities center on continued recovery, family life, and supporting Vanessa as she faces her own health battle. What unfolds next — both in court and on the course — remains uncertain, but those around Woods describe a man determined to reclaim control of both narratives.
