President Trump’s Golf Outing Stuns Internet After People Realize Who He’s Playing Against

As Tiger Woods prepares to make his highly anticipated return to the PGA Tour, the golf legend took time to hit the links with former President Donald Trump in South Florida.

Woods and Trump teed off Sunday morning at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, according to multiple reports confirmed by the White House. The golf outing comes just days before Woods is set to compete at Torrey Pines in what will be his first official PGA Tour event since The Open.

Meanwhile, Trump is expected to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans later in the evening, adding another high-profile event to his schedule.

Woods, who boasts eight career victories at Torrey Pines—including his iconic 2008 U.S. Open win—will travel to San Diego for next week’s Genesis Invitational. Originally set to take place at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, the tournament was moved to Torrey’s South Course due to the recent Palisades fire. Woods has not completed a full 72-hole tournament since last April’s Masters.

The golf icon’s name has also surfaced in recent discussions surrounding the ongoing negotiations between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Last week, Trump met with PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott in Washington, D.C., to discuss the future of professional golf. While the Tour’s official statement did not mention Woods’ attendance, flight-tracking data suggested his private jet landed at Dulles Airport Monday night before departing for Florida early the next morning.

A subsequent PGA Tour statement expressed appreciation for Trump’s involvement in bringing the negotiations closer to a resolution. “We are thankful that [Trump’s] leadership has brought us closer to a final deal, paving the way for reunification of men’s professional golf,” the statement read.

Amid his busy schedule, Woods also shared some personal news. On Tuesday, he announced the passing of his mother, Kultida Woods, at the age of 80.

“My mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply irrefutable,” Woods said in an emotional statement. “She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter—without her, none of my personal achievements would have been possible.”

Trump, a longtime friend of Woods, extended his condolences on social media.

“I was just informed that Tiger Woods’ great mother, Kultida, passed away—she has gone onto greener fairways!” Trump wrote. “Kultida Woods was an amazing influence on Tiger and gave him much of his strength and brilliance. Melania and I send our love and prayers to Tiger and his incredible family!”

Trump and Woods have a well-documented friendship, having played golf together on multiple occasions. In 2019, Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, recognizing his extraordinary contributions to the sport.
