Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer, celebrated a significant milestone in grand style on Wednesday night. He hosted a lavish event to mark both the 30th anniversary of his charitable foundation and his own 50th birthday. Among the attendees was his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, adding a touch of glamour to the red-themed extravaganza.

Exclusive photographs reveal the couple mingling with rock icon Jon Bon Jovi, who treated the 300 VIP guests to an acoustic performance. The evening’s festivities featured a sumptuous dinner, paying tribute to Woods’ impressive five Masters titles.

The event took place in the opulent setting of The Breakers Hotel, located in the affluent Palm Beach area of Florida. Tiger and Vanessa, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., made a discreet entrance into the main ballroom, setting the stage for a stunning celebration.

In keeping with the evening’s theme, Woods donned a classic dark tuxedo, accented with a red tie and pocket square. Vanessa complemented his style with a sleek black dress, striking red heels, and a gold clutch, making a chic statement.

Security was notably tight, with local and state police officers patrolling the hotel. Secret Service agents maintained a vigilant presence, ensuring the safety of all attendees, including Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, who is also an aspiring golfer and joined in the celebration.

Normally guests in the main ballroom at The Breakers would look out directly on to a stunning ocean vista. But such is the security and privacy surrounding the bash that all the huge windows were blacked out to keep prying eyes away.

The event was a fund raiser and one of the foundation employees exuberantly left the ballroom with his hands in the air, shouting : ‘Woo hoo, 50 million!’

A portion of that sum came from Atlanta Falcons owner and Home Depot founder Arthur Blank, who made a $20 million donation to Woods’ foundation, TGR. 

‘I have immense respect and admiration for Tiger, not only for his legendary career, but for the way he continues to lead with purpose off the course,’ Blank said in a statement. ‘It’s truly an honor to partner with someone who believes so deeply in the power of education and community.’

Guests also receive a bit of charity in the form of a black-box gift: a fragrance. 

Tiger and his new love chatted with the throng of guests enjoying cocktails and canopies amid a background of pop music at around 6.30pm.

They then slipped out to a nearby small reception room to greet 63-year-old Bon Jovi – as revealed in the exclusive Daily Mail photos.

Tiger beamed as he had his picture taken with the rock legend, who has a $43million mansion in the exclusive beach town, also home to President Donald Trump. The couple then headed back to the action.

Just after 7pm, Bon Jovi nipped across the corridor that was guarded by another phalanx of Secret Service agents to head into the ballroom for his acoustic set.

He kicked off with 2007 hit Lost Highway before launching into his classic Livin’ on a Prayer and then wowing the A-list gathering with It’s My Life – to huge applause.

Emotionally, he told his audience: ‘I’ve done a lot of big fund raisers with Tiger, even in people’s homes and we’re really, really happy to be here tonight.

‘I want to thank you very much because it’s been quite a long time since I performed in public…’

He followed this with a jazzy version of You Give Love a Bad name, finishing the set with the words: ‘Thank you very much. God bless you my friends and have a good night.’

Tiger’s bash for his TGR Foundation and birthday – which was in December last year – was given the title RED: Celebrating Legacy.

The color element was down to his signature dress code for the final day of a golf tournament when he always wears red, a tradition started by his mother Kultida who believed it empowered him.

All the guests wore some element of red as they tucked into the menu of a mix of items from his five Masters Championship dinners. These included sushi, porterhouse steaks, crab cakes, cheeseburgers, steak and chicken fajitas, stuffed jalapeños, French fries and milkshakes.

The glowing tribute event wound up shortly after 10pm, with revelers flowing out of the ballroom clutching a gift contained in a small black box. 

The foundation, started by the legend in 1996, is a non-profit dedicated to helping under-privileged young people.

It operates an education program in science, technology, engineering, arts, math plus college readiness and health and well-being.

Tiger and Vanessa, 47, began dating in November 2024 after meeting at events at the $38,595-a-year Benjamin School, where both their children attended.

Vanessa married ex-husband Don Jr in 2005 and the couple split in 2018. They share five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe. The divorce was relatively amicable.

Both her ex and President Trump have put their seals of approval on her relationship with Tiger, sources have told the Daily Mail.

In December, the Daily Mail confirmed the couple now spend most of their time at the golfer’s sprawling $80million compound on the exclusive 17-miles long Jupiter Island in Hobe Sound. It is set in one of Florida’s most prestigious communities.

The original 9,000 sq ft mansion on nine acres was torn down to make way for grander 14,000 sq ft and 12,000sq ft modern masterpieces sitting side by side and designed by renowned architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen.

In front of them sit a main pool, a lap pool, a tennis court and three golf greens, two of them guarded by bunkers.

Vanessa is reported to still maintain a more modest house just 20 minutes away.

Woods shares two kids – Sam Alexis and Charlie – with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, whom he married in 2004 and divorced in 2010 after a shocking sex scandal in which he publicly admitted to cheating on her with multiple women. Many of the women came forward with lurid tales of sexual activity.

The golf legend eventually attended in-person treatment for sex addiction. Nordegren filed for divorce and eventually received a settlement that insiders said was more than $100 million.
