Donald Trump squeezed in a quick round of golf with Tiger Woods on Sunday morning before making his way to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.
Trump, who is set to attend the NFL showpiece as a special guest of New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson – played with the golf legend at his club in Florida, according to Fox News.
The president will now make the 700-mile trip to the Big Easy to watch the Kansas City Chiefs’ showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome.
Woods and Trump have become close in recent years, with the latter offering condolences to his good friend earlier this week following the death of his mother Kultida at the age of 78.
‘I was just informed that Tiger Woods’ wonderful Mother, Kultida, passed away – She has gone onto greener fairways!’ Trump wrote in a post on social media.
‘Kultida Woods was an amazing influence on Tiger, and gave him much of his strength and brilliance. Melania and I send our love and prayers to Tiger and his incredible family!’
