Woods’ friendship with Donald Trump predates his presidency.
The two have played golf together on numerous occasions, and Trump has publicly praised Woods’ resilience and career achievements.
In 2019, after Woods’ Masters win, Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling him an “incredible success and comeback story.”

Trump has also spoken warmly about Vanessa Trump since her divorce from his son and in March 2025, he publicly endorsed her relationship with Woods, saying: “I love Tiger, and I love Vanessa. I’m very happy for both. Let them both be happy.”
Nineteen weddings have been held at the presidential residence since 1812, though few have involved figures with such a high-profile blend of sports celebrity and political family ties.
