When you’re a former President Of The United States and have a bunch of time on your hands, you look for cool things to do.
Despite what they say about current President Donald Trump, Barack Obama didn’t miss a chance to tee it up whenever possible when he was in office and you might remember those ultra-expensive trips to Hawaii with the entire Obama gang in tow.
That being said, with the Great North in the grip of winter, Obama was hanging out in Florida last week and had his people give Tiger Woods a call to see if Eldrick might have an interest in teeing it up with the former POTUS.
Of course he did and the two got together at The Floridian Club, which happens to be a bit north of Trump’s stomping grounds at Mar-A-Lago.
Butch Harmon’s son — Claude III — is the instructor in residence at The Floridian and of course he couldn’t help but spy a little bit on Eldrick and Barack, with permission from the Secret Service, of course.
Of course Claude relayed the information over to The Golf Channel’s Sherlock Holmes in residence — Tim Rosaforte and here’s what Claude The Third had to say:
“Tiger looks unbelievable. The first time I’ve seen it up close, I was blown away at how good it was….I’d be shocked if Tiger’s not winning this year and shocked if he didn’t give himself a chance at Augusta.”
So there you have it, more high expectations thrown out there for Woods.
What Claude and the rest of the rave reviewers need to do is temper their enthusiasm a bit and see what Woods can do in a real live PGA Tour event, like the one he’ll play in next week at Torrey Pines.
Only then can people begin to see what’s really going on with the former world’s No. 1.
