At the reception, Trump urged Woods to address the attendees. He and the crowd chanted 'Tiger' until the 15-time Major champion walked up to the podium to speak. Woods mentioned that it was his "honor" to attend the event.

After the 15-time Major champion's address, Trump paid tribute to the African-american athletes and champions and also commended Woods' massive achievements over the years.

While Tiger Woods remains to be one of the most iconic players in golf, the California born golfer hasn't been in the greatest of forms over the past few years. After his horrific 2021 car crash, he has not been a frequent competitor at PGA Tour events. However, Donald Trump believed that Woods can still win a "couple of Majors".

"And he's got a long way to go, too. I was with him a week ago, we played. I think he's got some left, Adam (Scott) doesn't he? Couple of Majors maybe. Maybe more than that,"
