Tiger Woods Makes Surprise White House Visit Amid Injury, PGA Negotiations

Tiger Woods made a surprise public appearance at the White House, marking one of his first sightings since confirming his relationship with Vanessa Trump, former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, and since undergoing surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. The 49-year-old golf legend was seen in a suit during the visit, though it is unclear whether he wore a protective boot for his injury. Woods and President Trump share a close relationship, having played golf together recently, and both have been involved in negotiations aimed at resolving the divide between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf through Saudi investment. While the exact purpose of Woods' White House visit remains undisclosed, it may be related to these ongoing golf negotiations. The couple, Woods and Vanessa Trump, began dating around Thanksgiving and have sought privacy while advancing their relationship, with support from their families. Despite the injury casting doubt on Woods' competitive future, his involvement in golf's strategic developments continues.
