Even in the midst of a packed political calendar, Donald
Trump managed to carve out time for an unexpected outing—one
that left many surprised. Just hours before heading to Super Bowl LIX
in New Orleans, the former president was spotted in West
Palm Beach, Florida, hitting the golf course with none other than Tiger Woods.
Given the longstanding friendship between
the two, their Sunday morning golf session at
Trump International might not seem out of the ordinary—except
for its remarkable
timing and the emotional weight behind it.
An Unlikely Golf Duo Before the Big Game

Trump, an avid
golfer himself, has long shared a close relationship with
Woods. Over the years, they have played together multiple times, their bond
cemented by a mutual love for the sport. But this
particular game came under unique circumstances.
Just days
before their outing, Tiger Woods suffered a
heartbreaking personal loss—his mother, Kultida Woods, passed away.
Trump’s Heartfelt Message to Tiger Woods
In the wake of
Kultida
Woods’ passing, Trump took to his platform to express his
condolences to the legendary golfer.
"I
recently learned that Kultida, Tiger Woods’ amazing mother, passed away. She
has moved on to more verdant fairways!" Trump posted.
He went on to
acknowledge Kultida’s immense influence
on her son, emphasizing that much of Tiger’s strength and intelligence
came from her guidance.
"Melania
and I offer Tiger and his amazing family our prayers and love."
The message
struck a chord with many, highlighting the depth of their friendship
beyond just the golf course.
A Presidential Golf Tradition
Trump and
Woods have maintained a strong bond over
the years, dating back to Trump’s first term in office.
In 2019,
Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
recognizing his extraordinary contributions to sports and American
culture.
Since then,
they have been frequent golfing partners, spotted
together on multiple occasions, often enjoying rounds at Trump’s
exclusive courses.
Sunday’s round was yet another reminder of Trump’s ability to blend leisure and networking—especially when it involves influential figures like Woods.

From the Golf Course to Super Bowl LIX
Despite
starting his day on the golf course, Trump’s schedule for Super Bowl
Sunday remained packed.
Later in the
afternoon, he was set to attend Super Bowl LIX in New
Orleans, adding yet another high-profile event to his already
notable day. But before heading to the game, Trump sat down
for a highly anticipated interview with Bret Baier on Fox News at 3:00 p.m. ET.
This rare
blend of sports,
politics, and personal moments made for an unconventional
yet fascinating Super Bowl Sunday—one that showcased Trump’s
unique ability to move seamlessly between leisure and political engagement.
As for Tiger Woods, whether he planned to attend the Super Bowl remained uncertain. But after a game of golf with a former president and an outpouring of support following his mother’s passing, his Sunday was already eventful enough.
