Tiger Woods met with U.S. President Donald Trump for a round of golf at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday morning.
Donald Trump has disclosed that Tiger Woods is “very sad over his mother’s passing” following a round of golf they shared on Sunday morning. The golf icon is mourning the death of his mother, Kultida Woods, who died at the age of 80 earlier in the week.
Despite his grief, Woods sought comfort in a game with the former U.S. president at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, joined by Woods’ son Charlie. Before Trump left for Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, where he made history as the first sitting president to attend the NFL’s flagship event, he reflected on their time together and Woods’ emotional state.
In footage posted to X by the TWLegion account, Trump can be seen remarking: “He was great. He’s a great guy. He’s very sad over his Mother’s passing. He’s a great guy.”
Woods’ trip to Palm Beach wasn’t just for relaxation. As co-founder of TGL, he also engaged in ongoing talks about a possible merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, signalling a critical juncture for men’s professional golf. Since the unexpected framework agreement was announced in June 2023, negotiations have continued without reaching a final agreement, leaving the future of the golf landscape uncertain and LIV players still barred from PGA Tour events.
In a bold gambit, the PGA Tour has secured the services of ex-President Donald Trump to clinch a deal with Saudi sporting chiefs. Following talks at the White House, golfing icons Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan expressed gratitude in a collective statement: “We know golf fans are eagerly anticipating a resolution to negotiations with the Public Investment Fund and want to thank President Trump for his interest and long-time support of the game of golf,” they announced.
“We asked the President to get involved for the good of the game, the good of the country, and for all the countries involved. We are grateful that his leadership has brought us closer to a final deal, paving the way for reunification of men’s professional golf.”
