Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus Golf With President Trump
We’re not much for political coverage here at Slackie Brown but when the President of the United States hits the links with the world’s greatest golfer, it deserves some ink.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump golfed with Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus at his private club in Jupiter, Florida, marking the event in Trump-like fashion with a tweet.

According to ESPN, Nicklaus is one of POTUS’ regular golf partners, even designing the very course they were playing on. Additionally, ESPN noted that the outing was the first time in over 15 years that Woods and Nicklaus have played together.
Woods, of course, is chasing Jack Nicklaus’ record for major wins; Nicklaus collected 18 majors in his career, while Woods is right behind him with 14. That said, Tiger Woods hasn’t taken home a major since 2008 when he won the U.S Open.
Tiger does have more PGA Tour wins (80) than Nicklaus (73), however, and trails only Sam Snead (82) for the most all time.
