In just a little over a year of dating, the source claimed Woods and Vanessa's relationship has become "really, really serious" – and allegedly has the iconic athlete considering getting married for a second time.
"It's a much more mature relationship than anything he's been in before, and he's going into it with his eye on something long term," the insider claimed. "Ideally, for the rest of his life."
The source added: "Of everyone he's dated since (his ex-wife) Elin, I'd say Vanessa is the closest thing to a soulmate he's ever had."
Vanessa Trump was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they share five children together.
According to the insider, Vanessa has been instrumental in helping keep Woods grounded as he faces the harsh reality of his professional career coming to a close after debilitating injuries.
