On Sunday morning, Woods and Trump hit the links at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, marking an unexpected but exciting pairing.

While Tiger Woods readies himself for his return to the PGA Tour, former President Donald Trump is also staying busy, with plans to attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans later that evening—a fitting addition to his high-profile day.
Woods, who has an impressive eight career victories at Torrey Pines—including his legendary 2008 U.S. Open win—will head to San Diego for next week’s Genesis Invitational. Originally slated for Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, the tournament was relocated to Torrey’s South Course due to the recent Palisades fire. This marks a significant moment for Woods, who hasn’t completed a full 72-hole tournament since last April’s Masters.

Tiger Woods’ name has once again surfaced in the spotlight—not just for his return to the course, but also in connection with the ongoing negotiations between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The golf legend is believed to have been in Washington, D.C. last week during a pivotal meeting involving former President Donald Trump, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, and player director Adam Scott.

In a follow-up statement, the PGA Tour acknowledged Trump’s influential role in the talks, saying, “We are thankful that [Trump’s] leadership has brought us closer to a final deal, paving the way for reunification of men’s professional golf.” The comment further solidifies Trump’s emerging presence in shaping the sport’s future.
