In a moment that stunned the online community, 15-year-old Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods, uttered seven words that quickly went viral: “My dad is marrying Vanessa Trump soon.”

The surprising statement was later confirmed when Tiger Woods himself officially announced that he plans to marry Vanessa Trump by the end of the year. The news has generated a tidal wave of reactions across social media platforms, with fans, critics, and media outlets all weighing in on the unexpected engagement.

What has further fueled public discussion is the timing of the announcement. The decision comes less than a year after the passing of Tiger’s mother and Charlie’s grandmother, Kultida Woods — a figure who held significant influence in the golfer’s life and career.

While many fans offered warm congratulations and expressed hope for the couple’s future, others were quick to criticize the timing of the engagement. Some argue that the decision feels rushed and inconsiderate in light of recent family loss.

Neither Tiger Woods nor Vanessa Trump has issued further comment following the public reveal, but the couple is reportedly preparing for a private ceremony to be held later this year.

As the golf icon begins a new chapter in his personal life, the world will no doubt continue watching closely.
