![]() It’s - it’s pretty bad on the legs, I understand. He - he’s overcome a lot, and - but, you know, he’s had an incredible life and he’s going to continue to have an incredible life. ![]() PAVLICH: So, maybe we’ll see him back on the golf course after this. PAVLICH: And in that speech, you also talked about how he is a comeback kid and how he has been able to overcome a number of obstacles. Tiger Woods is a global symbol of American excellence, devotion, and drive. He inspired millions of young Americans with his thrilling wire to wire victories. Tiger introduced countless new people to the sport of golf from every background and from every walk of life. TRUMP: We (ph) are in the presence of a true legend, an extraordinary athlete who has transformed golf and achieved new levels of dominance. Let’s listen to what you had to say about him then, and then we’ll get your thoughts on the other side. President, you gave - awarded the Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods in 2019. And he’s been working on that, and then has this happened, it’s just tragic, tragic. He won the Masters, and he won the Masters with a bad back, which tells you the level of talent is incredible. He’s had a big problem as you know with his back for a long period of time and it’s amazing. He’s - he’s getting - the back in shape, and then a thing like this happens. You’ve spent a lot of time with him, and when you hear anybody’s in an accident, it’s a horrific thing to witness, but especially someone that you know - and we’re all happy that he is OK.Īnd how did you react when you first heard the news this morning? So, of course, you are friends with Tiger Woods. President, thank you so much for joining us tonight.ĭONALD TRUMP, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (via telephone): Hi, Katie. PAVLICH: Joining me now by phone, President Donald Trump. Trump might consider it a shame that his course is being neglected but the Open has only been held there four times in the tournaments entire history and never since he has owned it so we can’t see it returning there any time soon.Īs you can imagine, Trump ramblings have been widely ridiculed on social media.Trump boasted of Woods’ accomplishments and predicted that he would “be back.” Oh well, life proceeds forward!
