These U.S. presidents could at least agree on one thing ― that Tiger Woods deserved congratulations for his stunning victory at the Masters on Sunday.
President Donald Trump and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton all saluted the 43-year-old golf great for his 15th triumph in a major ― and first in 11 years.
Woods’ fifth Masters green jacket following multiple back surgeries and personal turmoil also also generated cheers from other giants in the sports and entertainment worlds.
Congratulations to @TigerWoods., a truly Great Champion!
