Tiger Woods was seen alongside girlfriend Vanessa Trump at the Genesis Invitational over the weekend, marking a rare public appearance for the couple. Woods, who was not playing, served as tournament host for the final round at the Pacific Palisades clubhouse, joined by Trump and her daughter Kai.
The trio were photographed enjoying themselves, with one particularly affectionate moment between Woods and Trump circulating on social media. The pair went public with their relationship last year and have reportedly set guidelines for joint outings.
Body language expert Judi James analysed the couple's posed interactions, suggesting they appeared somewhat staged. "You can see how the end pose would look as a signal to the world," James told Mirror US. She noted that Trump appeared to take control, stretching out her arm confidently and initiating the hug, while Woods seemed more hesitant.
James observed that Woods' expression looked cautious at first, but both flashed broad grins for photographers. However, she claimed his smile faded once the pose ended. Meanwhile, Trump's daughter Kai was also invited to be pictured alongside the couple.
Woods continues his recovery from disc replacement surgery, which has kept him out of PGA Tour and TGL action since missing the cut at the 2024 Open Championship. He has hinted at a possible return for the Masters.
