Part 2/3:
Presidential Approval
Interestingly, Woods appears to have garnered the approval of former President Donald Trump himself. During a formal ceremony in 2019 where Woods was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Trump praised the golfer, calling him a "great guy." The commendation was part of a broader recognition of Woods' career and impact, referring to him as a symbol of American excellence and determination.
Shared Interests
The two first crossed paths in a professional context this past February when Woods attended a Black History Month event at the White House. Trump used the occasion to echo sentiments about Woods' skill and influence in the golfing world, labeling him as one of the greatest golfers of all time.
