Just ahead of Super Bowl LIX, President Trump surprises the guests in Florida
Despite his typically packed schedule, Donald Trump is making this Sunday one to remember.
In a surprise move, the former president hit the golf course with none other than Tiger Woods at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Florida—just hours before heading to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX. It’s an unexpected but fitting start to a day filled with sports, politics, and personal moments.
Trump and Woods have built a strong friendship over the years, bonded by their mutual love for golf. Back in 2019, during Trump’s first term, he awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, cementing their connection. Since then, they’ve shared multiple outings together, and today’s round of golf is yet another chapter in their camaraderie.
But Trump’s Sunday isn’t just about sports. Before making his way to the Super Bowl, he’s scheduled for a high-profile interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier at 3:00 p.m. ET. In a rare balance between business and leisure, he’s blending politics with play, making the most of the day.
Beyond the fun and fanfare, Trump also took time to acknowledge a somber moment in Woods’ life. Following the passing of Tiger’s mother, Kultida Woods, earlier this week, Trump offered his condolences in a heartfelt message.
“I just learned that Kultida, Tiger Woods’ amazing mother, has passed away. She has moved on to more verdant fairways!” Trump posted. “Tiger was greatly influenced by her—she gave him strength and wisdom. Melania and I send our prayers and love to Tiger and his wonderful family.”
As for Woods, his plans for the evening remain uncertain. While it’s unclear whether he will attend the Super Bowl, one thing is certain—his presence was already felt on the golf course, where he shared a meaningful morning with a longtime friend.
