President Trump will give Masters champion Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Monday.
The event will be “invitation only” and take place in the Rose Garden, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Thursday. She said reporters will be invited to cover it as well.
Trump had tweeted throughout the Masters — which Woods won April 14 — calling it “very exciting” and encouraging Americans to tune in. “Congratulations to @TigerWoods, a truly Great Champion!” Trump wrote after Woods won his fifth green jacket – and first major title since 2008.
A day after Woods’ win, Trump announced he would be giving the golfer the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the country’s highest civilian honor.
Trump has golfed with Woods in the past, most recently on Feb. 2 at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida.
