President Donald Trump has hit the golf course with legendary golfers Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, according to a tweet the president posted on Feb. 2.
The post was made a day after Trump arrived in Florida, escaping the cold and snow in Washington. This is Trump’s first trip to Florida since Thanksgiving. He was supposed to spend time there during Christmas but chose to cancel his plans and remain in Washington due to the 35-day partial government shutdown. The shutdown ended on Jan. 25 after the president signed a short-term spending bill.
Several photos and videos showing the president and Woods playing golf were also posted to social media.
Nicklaus and Woods are defined by their major championships. Nicklaus holds the professional record with 18 while Woods has been stuck on 14 for the past 10 years.
The pairing on Feb. 2 was believed to be the first time Nicklaus and Woods have played together since 2002 at a Monday night exhibition called “Battle at Bighorn” in California. Nicklaus and Woods were teammates in a match against Lee Trevino and Sergio Garcia.
The last time Nicklaus and Woods played together in an official event was the 2000 PGA Championship.
