Tiger Woods has two important victories since 2008, but President Donald Trump believes that the legendary golfer has at least a couple of great victories.
Woods visited the White House on Thursday for a reception of the month of black history, and was received by huge cheers of the crowd when President Trump presented it.
And although Woods, who has barely played in recent years due to injuries, has struggled to recover the shape of his 15 important victories in recent times, the commander in chief has a lot of faith in him.
'He was playing with him last week. I think they have a couple of students left … maybe more than that, “he told reporters.
Woods, who went briefly to the crowd, said it was “an honor” to be in the White House with President Trump.
The crowd sang the name of the golfer out loud, while President Trump revealed that he had “interesting discussions” with the PGA commissioner, Jay Monahan.

Together with Monahan, the director of players of Woods and PGA, Adam Scott, President Trump met with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the company that owns Liv Golf.
According to a PGA statement Signed by Woods, Scott and Monahan, the discussion focused on 'golf reunification'.
About two years have passed since a framework agreement was reached for a fusion between the PGA and the disadvantage, although an official agreement has not yet been reached.
The statement added that the PGA was “committed to moving as quickly as possible and will share additional details as appropriate.
“We share a passion for the game and the importance of reunification,” he continued. “The most important thing, we all want the best players in the world to play together more frequently and we are committed to doing everything possible to offer that result for our fans.”
The appearance of Woods in the White House comes just over two weeks since the death of his mother, Kultida, at the age of 80.
He made his game return earlier this week when he spread in the TGL Cover League, but it is clear that the golf had not been in charge of his mind.
“It has been a difficult process,” he said in TGL. “I have not really thought about golf, and I don't think I'm thinking about it a bit here.”
