Woods had joined Trump, as well as PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott, at the White House, in what was believed to be related to the ongoing divide caused by Saudi Arabian-backed LIV Golf. But Trump and Woods have a longstanding relationship, well beyond their appearance. So what is Woods' political affiliation?

Woods' relationship with Trump has drawn public attention for several years. Woods' appearance at the White House reignited discussions about his political views, especially given Trump's continued influence in both political and golfing circles, including his ties to LIV Golf. According to Trump has been working "to repair the divide between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf."

Since LIV Golf debuted in June 2022, it has nabbed some of the PGA Tour's top players. The PGA Tour, PIF, and DP World Tour reached an agreement in June 2023, but it later expired because of Justice Department antitrust concerns. The PGA Tour secured a $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group, a consortium led by Fenway Sports, in early 2024, in an effort to stabilize its future.

Lifelong champion Woods has mostly remained neutral on national and international politics.

Though the full scope of his political views remains unclear, Woods has maintained a positive relationship with Trump for over two decades.
