Tiger Woods' extensive dating history has played out in the spotlight, with some relationships causing chaos.
The iconic golfer's previous relationships have come to light now that he's dating Vanessa Trump, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
LeAnn Rimes
LeAnn Rimes has been married to Eddie Cibrian since 2011.
LeAnn Rimes briefly entered Woods' headline-worthy love lives after the pair reportedly "went out a few times" before her marriage to Dean Sheremet in 2002.
In 2010, a source told Us Weekly Woods was "into" Rimes, but her father reportedly believed she was too young to date the professional golfer at the time.
Elin Nordegren
Woods' cheating scandal emerged while he was finalizing his divorce from Nordegren.
After their 2001 meeting, the golfer popped the question to Elin Nordegren in 2003 and married her in a private sunset ceremony in Barbados the following year.
They expanded their family on June 18, 2007, when they welcomed their daughter, Sam. Their son, Charlie, was born on February 8, 2009.
Their marriage, however, hit rock bottom when news about Woods' cheating scandal broke. Several women came forward and claimed they had sexual relationships with the father-of-two, ultimately leading the couple to end their six-year marriage with a divorce. They finalized the filing on August 23, 2010.
By 2018, a source revealed Woods and Nordegren were having a strong co-parenting relationship.
"They're friends now," the insider told People. "Everything that happened in the past is in the past. They both decided to be adults and to do what was best for the kids. So they get along really well. Tiger says really great things about Elin. He never complains about her, ever. … The kids love them both."
Rachel Uchitel
Rachel Uchitel's affair with Woods was exposed amid his marriage to Nordegren.
A few months after Woods and Nordegren's son was born, his affair with New York City nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel made headlines. The PGA Tour winner stepped back from his career after publicly admitting to his affairs.
In the HBO's 2021 documentary Tiger, Uchitel broke her silence after more than a decade to express her regrets while sharing her side of the story.
"People came at me like they wanted to blame me for the fact a married man cheated on his wife, like I was the only one responsible for his actions," she added.
Holly Sampson
Holly Sampson allegedly had a sexual relationship with Woods.
Adult film star Holly Sampson asserted she was one of the women who "f----- Tiger Woods" during his marriage to Nordegren.
According to Sampson, she was hired for his birthday party and "didn't hesitate to say yes" when a female assistant told her Woods wanted to see her alone.
"It was a very sensual, beautiful experience," she said in a December 2009 interview. "I wanted to give him a birthday to remember."
Lindsey Vonn
Woods and Lindsey Vonn sparked dating rumors in early 2013.
On March 18, 2013, Woods and Lindsey Vonn's official Facebook pages released statements confirming the pair's relationship.
"Something nice that's happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn. Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating," Woods said.
"We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy. We want to continue our relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as athletes."
Although their relationship ended in May 2015, the Olympic skier told Entertainment Tonight they remain on good terms.
Kristin Smith
Woods and Kristin Smith maintained a private relationship.
Woods' romance with Kristin Smith was not confirmed until the pro golfer announced their split in a May 2017 tweet.
"Kristin Smith and I are no longer dating and haven't since last year," he shared on X.
They navigated a post-breakup drama when they became entangled in a legal dispute over an NDA in 2018, TMZ reported.

Erica Herman met Woods when she was working as the general manager of his Florida restaurant.
In September 2017, Woods stepped out publicly for the first time with Erica Herman to watch the President's Cup. They confirmed their relationship on Instagram the following month.
Unfortunately, their romance turned sour when Herman filed a lawsuit against his Jupiter Island Irrevocable Homestead Trust in December 2022, in which she claimed she was allowed to live at the athlete's home for another five years and that she was owed $30million after the oral agreement with the trust was breached.
In the same filing, Herman alleged the employees of the trust "locked her out of the Residence, removed her personal belongings, and informed her she could not return" following her split from Woods in October 2022. In addition, she insisted she had more than $40,000 in cash "misappropriated."
Herman dropped the lawsuit in June 2023 before withdrawing separate filings for her NDA appeal and sexual assault allegations.
Vanessa Trump
Woods debuted their relationship on social media.
Speculation about the relationship between Woods and Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, Vaneesa, made rounds online after they were spotted together at a Florida golf tournament in February.
The World Golf Hall of Famer eventually ended the buzz by confirming their romance on Instagram.
"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" he said of his current muse. "We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."
