So, it’s been a pretty good couple of days for Tiger Woods.  On Sunday he completed one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of sports with his fifth Masters championship.

Then yesterday…this

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor that can be bestowed in our country.

Trump, who played a round of golf with Woods earlier this year, praised Woods on Twitter on Sunday, “(Woods) is looking GREAT!” before congratulating him as “a truly Great Champion!” following his win.

The only other professional golfers to receive this honor are Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and pioneering African-American golfer, Charlie Sifford.

There is no word on when the ceremony will take place
