Vanessa Trump fully supports Tiger Woods as he seeks treatment following his car crash and arrest on charges of driving under the influence last month.
A source tells PEOPLE exclusively that the model, 48, has been by the golfer's side as he recovers from his rollover crash, which occurred near Jupiter Island, Fla., on March 27.
“Tiger needed to do intensive therapy, and his girlfriend Vanessa has been in favor of it,” the source says.
“She still supports this and supports him. She loves him and knows that private treatment was necessary,” the insider continues.

The source says Trump and Woods, 50, have a “strong bond” and it was never doubted that she would be there for him following his arrest. “Vanessa suffered through some rough spots but has always been on his side even when she worried about him and softly mentioned that," they add.
The insider says Trump feels “positive” about Woods' future despite the challenges he's facing, noting that “her optimistic outlook is good for him, although there is a long way to go.”
Another source says that Trump and Woods have stayed in communication throughout the ordeal. “They communicate while he is away and both know it's important to do so,” the source says.
A source previously told PEOPLE that Trump is “not leaving” Woods amid his personal battles. “They're very close as a family," the source said, adding that he's "fully integrated now" and "especially close" with her daughter Kai.

Trump and Woods went public with their relationship in March 2025 after sources told PEOPLE they had been quietly dating for several months.
Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018. They share five children together: daughters Kai, 18, and Chloe, 11, and sons Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, and Spencer, 13.
Meanwhile, Woods and his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, were married from 2004 to 2010. They share two children, daughter Sam Alexis, 18, and son Charlie Axel, 17.
Woods pleaded not guilty to his DUI charge on March 27.
Deputies with the Martin County Sheriff's Office said they found two hydrocodone pills in Woods' pants pocket at the scene, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.
He passed a breathalyzer test, but allegedly refused a urinalysis test that could detect prescription medications and other drugs, per authorities.

Shortly after the accident, Woods said in a statement that he would be seeking treatment, and his lawyer successfully petitioned a judge to let him leave the country to do so."I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today," Woods wrote in a statement posted on X on March 31. "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 toward lasting recovery."
