Tiger joins vacationing Obama for a round of golf
Sunday, February 17, 2013
President Barack Obama played golf Sunday with Tiger Woods, the White House said Sunday.
Once the sport’s dominant player before his career was sidetracked by scandal, Woods joined Obama at the Floridian, a yacht and golf club on Florida’s Treasure Coast where Obama is spending the long Presidents Day weekend. The two had met before, but Sunday was the first time they played together.
The White House has prohibited media coverage of Obama’s golf outing.
The foursome also included Jim Crane, a Houston businessman who owns the Floridian and baseball’s Houston Astros, and outgoing U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, a former mayor of Dallas, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
Obama, an avid golfer, also received some instruction Saturday and played a few holes with Butch Harmon, Woods’ former swing coach.
