Tiger Woods’ cheating past is coming back to haunt him in his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the National Enquirer has learned.

“She’s insecure when it comes to him and other women,” reveals an insider. “So Vanessa follows Tiger everywhere and checks up on him and what he’s up to through mutual friends when they’re not together.”

Her behavior is seemingly becoming more blatant: Body language expert Judi James even described the model, 48, as acting “possessive” towards the golf pro, 50, during an appearance at February’s Genesis Invitational in L.A., per the Daily Mail.

According to Enquirer’s insider, it’s been a turnoff for Woods — who reportedly stepped outside of his marriage to Elin Nordegren with around 120 women.

“Tiger’s feeling henpecked and stifled,” says the insider. “He wants Vanessa to trust him and not judge him on prior behavior. But the more serious they get, the more fearful she becomes that Tiger will slide into bad habits and self-sabotage.”

As the Enquirer previously reported, Vanessa and Woods have been headed towards an engagement.

“He’s told her time and again there’s nothing to be paranoid about — she’s the only girl for him,” shares the insider. “While Vanessa’s all-in on the relationship, brushing aside his sordid history is easier said than done. Her greatest fear is that Tiger will fall for one of the golf floozies who throw themselves at him.”

The troubled pair went public with their relationship in March 2025, seven years after she filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr.

“Love is in the air!” he wrote on Instagram, sharing cozy photos with Vanessa. “We look forward to our journey through life together.”
