Tiger Woods Likely to Pump Brakes on Vanessa Trump Romance Post-Rehab: ‘It’s What’ He ‘Needs Right Now
Tiger Woods is doing a ton of self-reflection following his DUI arrest, a source tells the National Enquirer, and it’s become very apparent that his whole life needs to change once he gets out of rehab.
On Friday, April 17, the Daily Mail reported that the professional golfer, 50, is receiving “physical and psychological attention” at an inpatient facility in Zurich, Switzerland after flipping his Land Rover on Florida’s Jupiter Island in late March.
When Woods gets back home, “his full focus will be bonding with his kids [daughter Sam, 18, and son Charlie, 17] and getting back on the golf course as well as doing what it takes to stay sober,” says the Enquirer’s source.
Conspicuously left off the list is his year-long relationship with girlfriend Vanessa Trump.
“He loves Vanessa deeply and is incredibly grateful that she’s sticking by him during this nightmare,” notes the source. “But he’s not looking for anything intense right now.”
It’s a stark contrast to how Woods felt about Trump, 48, prior to the accident.
“He was following Vanessa around like a puppy dog and ready to propose to her, but now the thinking is that he’ll want to pare things down and pump the brakes,” the source says of the four-time PGA champion, who pleaded not guilty to charges of misdemeanor DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
“That’ll be a tough pill for her to swallow, but if it’s what Tiger needs right now, she’ll go along with it,” adds the source. “She loves him and is desperate for them to make it in the long-term.”
