President trump has awarded tiger woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honour.
Noting that woods’ family was on hand for the white house event – including his mother, children and girlfriend – trump called the 15-time major winner “a global symbol to excellence, devotion and drive.” the president summarized Woods’s considerable career achievements, spending some time on the latter’s groundbreaking victory at the 1997 masters.
Tiger Woods’s masters’ victory ended a nearly 11-year wait for his 15th major championship, during which he weathered a marital infidelity scandal that ended in divorce.
