Per The Daily Mail:

President Donald Trump brought out golfer Tiger Woods to surprise the crowd at a White House Black History month celebration.

The standing-room only crowd in the East Room screamed with delight, yelling ‘Trump’ and ‘Tiger’ repeatedly, going on for so long Trump had to wait for the uproar to die down before he could start his speech.

Woods stood proudly close to him, wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom that Trump awarded him in his first term along with his suit and sneakers.

Is there anybody like our Tiger,’ Trump gushed, describing the golfer as ‘incredible.’

Woods was just as effusive.

‘It’s an honor to be here. It’s honor to be here with you, Mr. President,’ he told Trump.

Here’s what Reuters reported:

The person had no further details on the private White House meeting, the second held on the topic this month.
Trump, an avid golfer who owns a string of golf resorts, has become more deeply involved in trying to end the years-long divide in professional golf.

The PGA Tour said on February 6 that after a meeting with Trump it was closer to reaching a deal with the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi backers of LIV Golf.

The U.S.-based circuit had said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Player Director Adam Scott met with Trump on February 4 and asked him to get involved in their talks with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
