A key detail surrounding Tiger Woods’ time in rehab abroad: amid his DUI case, Woods said, “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work towards lasting recovery,” adding he would return “in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place.”
Vanessa Trump, 48, confirmed on June 13 that she has finished recovering from breast cancer surgery and is now preparing to start the next phase of her treatment. "Over the past four weeks, I've been recovering from surgery, and I'm grateful to be healing and moving forward," she wrote on Instagram, adding that she would soon begin "the second stage" of her treatment. OK! Magazine and TMZ reported the update.
The update came almost four weeks after Trump first announced her breast cancer diagnosis on May 20. It also came one day after her partner, golfer Tiger Woods, returned to Jupiter, Florida on June 12 after nearly three months in a rehabilitation facility in Switzerland, according to Golf Monthly.
From Diagnosis to Surgery in Just Days
Vanessa Trump's health journey moved quickly. She underwent a surgical procedure between May 11 and May 17, according to NDTV Sports. Just days later, on May 20, she went public with her diagnosis. She said she was "working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan" and thanked her doctors for "performing a procedure earlier this week." She asked for privacy and shared no details about the cancer's stage or her prognosis.
In her June 13 update, she kept that same approach — sharing just enough to reassure the public. She confirmed surgery was behind her and that a second phase of care was coming. She closed with an outward-facing message: "Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone fighting this battle." Hello Magazine noted this marked her first significant health update in nearly a month.
Family Rallies Around Trump With Public Messages
Trump's inner circle offered support quickly and openly. Her 19-year-old daughter Kai Trump posted, "Strongest person I know. Love you," on Instagram Stories. Former sister-in-law Ivanka Trump commented: "Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama." The family response crossed political and generational lines, drawing wide attention online.
Yahoo Style reported that the messages poured in after Trump's May 20 announcement, with family and well-wishers offering prayers and encouragement. Trump has five children — Kai, Donald, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe — all of whom she is currently raising. The public support gave her recovery a high-profile backdrop.
Tiger Woods Leaves Rehab Early, Then Returns to Her Side
Tiger Woods, 50, was in a 90-day inpatient program in Switzerland when Trump announced her diagnosis. He had entered the facility in early April after a March 27 rollover crash near Jupiter Island, Florida, where he was arrested on suspicion of DUI. His blood alcohol content was 0.0 at the time, but police suspected legal impairment by medication, according to Reuters. Two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket at the scene.
Woods left the Swiss program temporarily in mid-May to attend Kai Trump's high school graduation in Florida, then returned to Zurich on May 24, according to Parade. He completed the program and flew back to Jupiter on June 12 — one day before Vanessa's surgery update. Essentially Sports reported he is now expected to stay by her side as she moves into the next phase of care.
What 'Second Stage' of Treatment Likely Means
Trump has not said exactly what the second stage of her treatment involves. In breast cancer care, surgery is typically followed by adjuvant therapy — a medical term for follow-up treatment meant to stop cancer from coming back. This can include chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy. These treatments often last six to 12 months and can be more physically draining than the surgery itself.
Woods' return to Florida is seen as more than symbolic. With Trump entering what may be the hardest stretch of her treatment, having him home full-time is a practical need. TMZ noted Woods has no immediate plans to return to competitive golf. He last played at the 2024 Open Championship. His 15 major championships and ongoing DUI legal case remain unresolved as he focuses on supporting Trump through her recovery.
