Grandkids Get a No‑Drive Rule After Tiger’s DUI

President Donald Trump has set a strict rule for his grandchildren: they are not allowed to ride in a car when Tiger Woods is behind the wheel. The rule came after the 50‑year‑old golfer was caught driving under the influence on March 27. Woods has been dating Vanessa Trump, who is 79‑years‑old and was once married to Donald Jr. The couple shares five children who often spend time with Woods, but Trump believes a driver can be risky. Vanessa and Donald Jr. , both 48, were married from 2005 to 2018. Their children are Kai (18), Donald III (17), Tristan (14), Spencer (13) and Chloe (11). Kai is a budding golfer who plans to play for the University of Miami in 2026. Just days before the crash, Vanessa and two of her kids were seen cheering Woods at a golf event in Palm Beach.

Sources say the president’s decision is rooted in his strong stance against drugs and alcohol. He thinks that having a driver who has had an accident is too much risk for his family. An insider joked that Trump would feel safer with a celebrity like Britney Spears behind the wheel than with Woods. The rule does create awkward moments for Vanessa and Donald Jr. , but they accept it because Trump believes it protects the kids. He has made clear that Woods can still be part of their lives, just not as a driver. When reporters asked about the incident, Trump said he was saddened by it and that Woods is a close friend. He added that the accident was all he knew at the time.
