The reason for Tiger Woods' recent visit to the White House has been revealed, according to a report. Woods made the trip to the U.S. capitol on 9 May to speak with American president Donald Trump. Three days later Trump, 78, made his first major foreign trip of 2025 to Saudi Arabia where he announced a $142bn arms deal. The announcement prompted speculation the agreement could help the PGA Tour get a deal over the line with the kingdom's Public Investment Fund.

Bryson DeChambeau was forced to miss a recent Ryder Cup dinner for Team USA. Captain Keegan Bradley decided to gather potential team members in Philadephia last week ahead of the Truist Championship. DeChambeau and fellow LIV Golf recruit Brooks Koepka were invited but unfortunately the reigning U.S. Open champion couldn't make it. His flight was delayed more than three hours as he made his way back from LIV's stop in Korea - which he won - so he had to watch the event via Zoom.
