Tiger Woods dating Donald Trump Jr’s ex-wife

Tiger Woods has confirmed that he is dating the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. Golf legend Woods, 49, also shared photos of himself with Vanessa Trump, 47, who split from the US president’s oldest son in 2018 after 13 years. The photos include one image of Woods and Trump embracing on a hammock. “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” Woods said on his social media channels. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts.” Trump has five children with Don Jr, and her eldest daughter Kai is said to attend the same school as Woods’ children Charlie and Sam. Woods has played golf with the president and the two are said to have been negotiating between the PGA Tour and the owners of LIV, the Saudi breakaway circuit. Woods has been involved in several high-profile relationships, after his marriage to Elin, the mother of his children fell apart because of a sex scandal. Other girlfriends include Lindsey Vonn, the world champion skier, with whom he split in 2015, and Erica Herman. That relationship ended badly when she took him to court after he evicted her from his home. Woods is considered among the greatest golfers of all time. He is ranked joint-first for PGA Tour wins and is second for major championship victories.

Jimmy Carter state funeral set for Jan. 9

The official state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter will be held Jan. 9 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the White House confirmed Monday. The Carter Center releases a statement saying the family has accepted an invitation from Congress for Carter, who died Sunday at 100, to lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda. Details on the events in Washington and in Georgia, including burial for Carter, have not been released. President Joe Biden declared Jan. 9 a National Day of Mourning and ordered U.S. flags to fly at half-staff for 30 days. In Plains on Monday, two National Park Service rangers hung wreaths marked with black ribbon on the doors of the building where Carter went to high school. The school is now the Plains High School Visitor’s Center and is dedicated to teaching people about Carter. Inside, Sandra Hicks, who lives down the road in Americus, Georgia, was touring the school with her grandsons. She wanted to teach the boys about Carter’s legacy “so they can learn more about where he actually came from, get a firsthand experience of what it looked like.” Hicks met the Carters while she was working at the photo center in the Walmart in Americus. “He was never a stranger, even with Secret Service and what have you,” Hicks said. One of her grandsons, Jaxson Hughes, 11, expressed his appreciation for having a president from near where he lives. He said Carter knew the struggle of the people in the area and was able to advocate for them. Hicks mentioned Carter’s long history on humanitarian work, particularly his time with Habitat for Humanity, when she said he did much good in Americus. On a broader scale, Hicks said Carter also helped change the culture of Americus into one that cared for all the people of the town. Dave and Nancy Shelbourne were also visiting the school Monday. The couple, from Indianapolis, was driving to Naples, Florida, for the winter. After Carter died, they stopped in Plains to learn about the president in honor of their grandson also named Carter. “It’s just nice to know there are still good people in the world still trying to do things for humanity,” Dave Shelbourne said about the president.

Dominican Republic 2024: Sanusi salutes Flamingos

The General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, warmly welcomed the U17 Women’s National Team, the Flamingos, back to Nigeria after their quarter-final exit in the 2024 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic. Despite their 0-2 loss to the United States, Sanusi commended the team for their determination and resilience, emphasizing the need to support and encourage the players. “The NFF is proud of the Flamingos and their performance in this tournament,” Sanusi stated. “They fought hard, and though they couldn’t replicate their win over the USA from two years ago, they showed remarkable effort.” Reflecting on the Flamingos’ impressive group-stage performance—where they topped their group with nine points, nine goals scored, and only one conceded—Sanusi highlighted the team’s talent and potential. “These players have the skill, temperament, and discipline to advance to the U20 squad, and we must continue to support them.” The Flamingos returned to Nigeria on Tuesday after a tournament that saw them defeat New Zealand 4-1, Ecuador 4-0, and host nation Dominican Republic 1-0 to advance to the knockout stages. Head Coach Bankole Olowookere expressed pride in his players, noting that while the match against the USA didn’t go their way, the team created several opportunities. “We’ll start working immediately to build an even stronger squad for next year, as the tournament will now be held annually,” he said.
