Pres. Trump will present the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden.
President Donald Trump will present the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden on Monday, honoring his friend and golfing icon with the highest honor the president can bestow on a civilian.
The next day, Trump tweeted that he had called Woods from Air Force One to personally congratulate him, announcing he would honor Woods with the medal “because of his incredible Success & Comeback in Sports and, more importantly, LIFE.” But Woods’ Masters win at Augusta National Golf Club – his first major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open – restored his stature as one of golf’s greatest champions, completing an unparalleled comeback after he struggled for years to overcome a back injury, as well as move past personal adversity following his divorce from Elin Nordegren, after Woods’ rampant infidelity poured out in public.
Trump also golfed with Woods on Nov. 24, 2017, alongside pro golfers Dustin Johnson and Brad Faxon, and he golfed with Woods shortly after the 2016 election. The president has completed at least 139 rounds of golf during his presidency, according to an ABC News tabulation.
