Tiger Woods says he endured a sleepless flight to the British Open after watching news reports of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The 48-year-old arrived from Florida on Saturday for the 152nd major tournament in Scotland this week, but was exhausted during his first practice round at Royal Troon on Sunday after watching the proceedings of the tournament’s former presidents’ meeting up close in Pennsylvania. “This is an assassination attempt,” is all we see throughout the entire movie. He didn’t get any sleep on the plane and went to the golf course instead. Woods, a 15-time Grand Slam champion, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Donald Trump, who was killed and two others were seriously injured in a 2019 shooting shortly after his return to the Masters. Trump and Woods, both avid golfers, have a long history together and have played many rounds together. When asked in 2018 about his friendship with the then-president, Woods responded, “Well, he’s the president of the United States.”
“It doesn’t matter who’s in office. You may like it, I don’t like the person or the politics, but we all have to respect the office,” he added, per Yahoo Sports. Woods Tide on Thursday, and will be chasing his fourth opening championship win, having won the Claret Jug in 2000, 2005 and 2006. It was a shocking win in just his 23rd start given that he continues to battle to recover from injuries sustained in a car accident in 2021. The 82-time PGA Tour winner has had a tough season, finishing 60th at the Masters and missing the PGA cut and the U.S. Open, but Woods is adamant he will play as long as he feels he can win, rejecting former world No. 2 Collins’ offer from Montgomerie that he should consider retirement. “As a former champion, I was released until I was 60,” he said. “That doesn’t apply to Colin,” Woods told reporters Tuesday, referring to the fact that he had automatic qualification because of major victories in past tournaments.
