Tiger Woods reportedly played a round of golf with US President Donald Trump on Sunday, joining the latter at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The news comes ahead of Woods' debut on the 2025 PGA Tour calendar next week. The Genesis Invitational, which the ace golfer hosts, will mark his first appearance on the Tour this year.
However, the report of Woods and Trump playing golf together has left the fans divided. While some supported it, others found it to be in bad taste. NUCLR Golf shared a post regarding the same and fans flooded the comment section with different opinions.
Some fans took to the comments to show their support for the duo playing a round of golf together.
"They have been friends for years. God bless them both," said a user.
"I hope they enjoy their time together," another commented.
Woods' mother Kultida Woods recently passed away. After learning the news, President Donald Trump extended his condolences to Woods and his family. Some fans believed playing a round of golf with the 49-year-old was Trump's way of giving a tribute to his mother.
"Probably POTUS giving his respects for Tida’s passing," one fan wrote.
"POTUS has such a fathers heart ! Tiger just lost his Mom!" another added.
However, some fans didn't like Tiger Woods' move to play golf with Trump.
"Very disappointed in Tiger," mentioned one user.
"Just another reason to hate woods," another commented.
