Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers of all time, is facing one of the hardest moments of his life—the loss of his mother, Kultida Woods. Just days ago, Woods confirmed the heartbreaking news via social media, sparking an outpouring of condolences from fans, fellow athletes, and public figures worldwide.
For decades, Kultida was more than just a supportive mother; she was the backbone of Tiger’s legendary career. Without her guidance, discipline, and unwavering belief in him, the golfing world might never have witnessed the rise of a player who redefined the sport.
Trump’s Public Condolences and Private Game with Tiger
Among those who extended their sympathies was none other than former U.S. President Donald Trump. Taking to social media, Trump expressed his sadness over Kultida’s passing and offered his support to the grieving Woods family.
But what made headlines even more? The fact that just yesterday, Tiger Woods and Trump were spotted playing a round of golf together at Trump International Golf Club in Florida. It was a rare public appearance for Woods since his mother’s passing, and while the game offered a momentary escape, Trump acknowledged that Tiger is deeply mourning.
“He was great. He’s a great guy. He’s very sad over his mother’s passing. He’s a great guy,” Trump told the media after the game.
After their round, Trump headed straight to watch the Super Bowl, but his time with Woods raised speculation. Was it just a friendly game, or was something bigger at play?
Trump’s Push to Reshape the Golfing World
It’s no secret that Trump is a massive golf enthusiast, but his involvement in the sport could be moving beyond personal passion. Recently, he has engaged in discussions with key figures in golf to address the sport’s current state of turmoil.
With the PGA Tour and LIV Golf war creating unprecedented division, sponsors pulling out, and the sport struggling to captivate younger audiences, golf is in a crisis. And Trump, always a disruptor, has made it clear—he wants to play a role in bringing stability back to the game.
During his presidential campaign, Trump openly stated his intention to help golf “get back on its feet.” His influence, particularly with LIV Golf’s backing and his deep ties to the sport, could make him an unexpected yet powerful player in reshaping its future.
As fans grow restless and players demand clarity on the sport’s direction, all eyes are on Trump. Could he be the catalyst for golf’s revival? Or is this just another bold promise without real action?
One thing is certain—while Tiger Woods grieves a personal loss, the game of golf is facing a battle of its own. And Trump, never one to shy away from the spotlight, may just be at the center of its next chapter.
