*This post has been updated to correct the error that Woods was awarded the Medal Of Honor, it has been changed to show the Medal of Freedom.
President Donald Trump has announced that he has selected an individual that he intends to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The choice certainly plays to Trump’s favorite as he honors professional athlete Tiger Woods for his amazing comeback with a fifth Masters win.
Trump had shown he was paying close to attention to the game, sending out four tweets the day of the Masters in support of Woods.
Yet Trump’s praise hadn’t abated the following day and by the afternoon the president announced he would be awarding the prolific golfer with the prestigious award.
This will propel Woods into a league of golfers only shared by three others. George W. Bush gave bestowed the award on Arnold Palmer in 2004 and Jack Nicklaus in 2005. While Barack Obama issued the award to Charles Sifford in 2014.
Trump, you say your comparing Tiger to the the 3. They are great American’s and did a lot to help other people and were Class All Tiger;s done is set a bad example of himself. Look back at what he’s done, I never heard of him giving to other people. you and him have a lot in common, you really to BS
I’m sorry, but this is F’in BS. Surely there are more deserving people in our country. The guy is just a golfer! That is really nothing of importance.
I don’t know if this headline was meant to be deceiving or not but the President is not giving the Medal of Honor to Tiger Woods. He is awarding him with the Medal of FREEDOM. There is a HUGE difference between the two.
That’s the Medal of Freedom. The Medal of Honor is the highest honor, awarded only to military persons.
Sorry, I just don’t think that Woods is qualified for this honor with his personal record of infidelity, DUI, etc. On another note, who the Hell is this Charles Sifford?
He deserves it as much as the great Obama did the Nobel Peace Prize………..which he admitted he had no idea why he got it.
I really don’t get it….why a Freedom Award for playing golf? Most anyone can golf if they want to or are able to play, where does the freedom come in? Granted that Tiger Woods made a great come back after his wild ways with the women and his bad back, that’s just great but is is not A FREEDOM ACT, JUST IMPROVED HIMSELF AS FAR AS WE KNOW. BUT PRESIDENTAL FREEDOM AWARD?
Are you kidding me. Medal of Honor headline and what the president is presenting to Tiger Woods is certainly not the Medal of Honor.
Please do better, we don’t need to look like a bunch of Knucklehead Liberals.
