Which U.S. President awarded Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

Donald Trump awarded Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Trump presented the medal to Woods at the White House on May 6, 2019, shortly after Woods won the Masters Tournament for the fifth time.

The honor recognized Woods' extraordinary golf career and his comeback after years of injuries and personal difficulties. His 2019 Masters victory at Augusta National was his first major championship win since the 2008 U.S. Open and his 15th major title overall. Trump announced the planned award soon after that Masters victory.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the United States' highest civilian honor. It was established in its modern form by President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and may be awarded for especially meritorious contributions to national interests, public life, culture, or other significant fields. Woods became one of only a small number of golfers to receive it. George W. Bush and Barack Obama also awarded the medal to many honorees, but neither presented it to Woods.
