TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Donald Trump conferred the Presidential Medal of Freedom on ace golfer Tiger Woods in a ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House. “Your spectacular achievements on the golf course, your triumph over physical adversity and your relentless will to win, win, win – these qualities embody the American spirit,” Trump said on Monday evening as he bestowed the nation’s highest civilian honour on Woods, 43.
The California native is number two in the number of major tournament victories. The distinction comes after Woods won his fifth Masters Tournament, marking a return to form after 10 years marred by scandal, a succession of injuries and addiction to pain-killers.
“This has been an unbelievable experience and… everyone here has seen and been with me for them, some of you for my entire life, and some of you for more than half my life,” Woods said to a group that included many members of his family. “You’ve seen the good and the bad, the highs and the lows and I would not be in this position without your help,” he said.
