On Thursday, President Trump welcomed golfing legend and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Tiger Woods to the White House during a reception honoring Black History Month.

The President’s reception honored black leaders, celebrities, and athletes in the East Room of the White House.

It can be recalled that Trump awarded Tiger Woods with a Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor,  in 2019 during his first term after he won the 2019 Masters tournament.
