As Tiger Woods has become part of the Trump internal circle

There are, of course, important commercial advantages to be obtained. In April, Trump National Doral Miami will host a LIV tournament for the fourth consecutive year, while the courses owned by Trump in Virginia and New Jersey have also worked as offices for Liv events.

The Golf was the most firm supporter of Trump among sports, with combat sports such as the final combat championship and the worldwide entertainment of wrestling equally voice in their support but without the heritage and weight that Golf brings.

It has not always been regular navigation for Trump. In 2021, and in response to the role of Trump in Capitol Hill’s riots, the PGA stripped the Trump Bedminster course of the right to host the PGA 2022 championship. Trump was raged by the decision – just as it was with the refusal of R & A to report the new to Turberry since he took the property in 2014.

But this has done very little to reduce his influence on sport and inevitably, when the leaders of the PGA and Pif announced an “framework agreement” in June 2023 to merge the rival tours, Trump greeted him as a “big, beautiful and glamorous for the wonderful world of golf”.

If Keegan Bradley’s USA team should regain the Ryder Cup this September in Bethpage, expect the invitation of the White House to go to the 12 winning golfers for a reception with the president. This has not always gone to plan; The Philadelphia Eagles have yet to appear in Washington DC since they won the Super Bowl in February – after refusing to participate in the last time they became the NFL champions during the first trump in office – and the Golden State Warriors basketball team was disinveditated when the star player Steph Curry expressed reservations to accept any invitation in 2017.

Woods, for his part, was cautious on any important support for Trump and the Republican Party. In August 2018, after Woods was pressed on his friendship with Trump, he said “You have to respect the office. No matter who he is in the office, you don’t like it, do not love the personality or politics, but we must all respect the office”.

“We look forward to our journey through life together.”

Tiger Woods

Woods refused to be designed, however, when he was asked to express a vision of Trump’s impact on racial relationships.

At the time Trump replied on X: “The media fakes worked hard to convince Tiger Woods to say something he didn’t want to say. Tiger would not play the game – he is very intelligent.”

Now, however, Woods is much less against risk in expressing his commitment for another Trump. “We look forward to our journey through life together,” he says of his thriving relationship with Vanessa.

Donald Trump has always braised the credibility in golf. With Trump’s family bond with the greatest superstar that the game has known, the annoyance of the president in his courses that is continually denied a major does not intensify.

The Woods-Trump partnership could be a double-sided wedge

If this was a love lit by the school doors, then make sure that the report announced on Sunday by Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump has been forged at the Country Club.

Two adults divorced with two talented golf children: this meeting of two famous families, if not not infamous, will clearly give the 15 times bigger winner more attention to the golf course.

Not on his game, however. Woods, 49, is in the middle of a long and depressing family recovery from an injury after an operation on the Achilles taken this month. It is almost written for the season and instead faces exhaustive recuperative sessions on the Physio table and in the gym and on the range. In the meantime, it has another role to play.

Obviously, with his son, Charlie, Woods’s summer has always focused following the sixteen year old around Florida and beyond while trying to carve out his name in the US junior golf and thus escaped what is, perhaps, the greatest paternal shadow ever launched in the game.

Charlie is in a critical moment of his development to see if he has the means to earn a living from his sport and it is right to say that he would be stretched to find a better mentor. Yet your father will also provide a fairway guide to the offspring of his partner? The Trump clan will certainly pray that this is part of the agreement.

It was certainly nothing more than a coincidence that on Sunday the absolutely not tiger statement fell on his social media-in-real channels started “love is in the air” -Charlie and Kai Trump, the daughter of Vanessa and the grandson of the president-Avered both competed at the Sage Valley Invitational, perhaps the most prestigious junior tournament in the world.

Unfortunately, these were not the most exciting results for the Woods-Trump brigade, an alliance already coined the “axis of eagle”. Kai arrived 24th in a field of 24, while Charlie was linked to 25th place out of 36 In the Boys division, Charlie is 838 °.

In truth, this pair of Benjamin School-at Establishment students of £ 29,000 a year (an $ 60,000) close to their respective family homes in the Encyclical of the South of the Florida of Palm Beach and Jupiter, where also assisting Charlie’s sister, Sam, as the four brothers of Kai-year do a long way to travel also to approach their lives of life.

Yet with the red one in their corner, they have all the necessary motivation and nous to give it the best crack. It will be fascinating to trace their progress in the weeks and months, in particular with the woods at the helm.

This could be a double -sided wedge as it has the potential for Woods to reach its competitive race during the months. With the stability that has disappeared for so long periods in his private life, this added purpose must certainly be good news for fans who pray for another return.

Who knows: this could still prove to be a marriage made to Jupiter, if not entirely paradise.

Inevitably, the industry will frantically deepen the meaning of the fusion of Tiger-Trump. Vanessa and Don Jnr, her ex -husband, enjoy a friendly relationship and this calm the fears that any acrimony may have an impact on the current negotiations between the Saudi public investment fund and the PGA tour.

Woods is a key figure regarding the tour and President Trump has put himself at the center of those discussions, due to his affinity with sport and kingdom and for his commercial interests, of course. Woods played golf with Trump recently and also visited the White House, and the Denizen of the Oval Office will be excited to have the icon on its side and, almost, in its tribe.

Trump has always braved respect in the professional game and, forever with a width over the lower time, he hopes that with a rich golf club portfolio that boasts courses like Turnberry and Doral, this connection will prove to be fruitful. However, in a moment of great uncertainty, what this could mean for sport in general remains unknown. The intrigue is in the air.
