The U.S. President hosted a meeting at the White House on Thursday involving LIV Golf, the PGA Tour, and players Tiger Woods and Adam Scott

Tiger Woods was chanted at the White House, including by President Donald Trump. But not all fans were pleased with it.
Woods appeared visibly nervous and rejected Trump's invitation, simply putting his hands up and shaking his head. "He's much more comfortable [on the golf course]," said Trump, before he was drowned out by chants of: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
Golf icon Tiger Woods made a surprise appearance at the White House during a ceremony hosted by Donald Trump on Thursday.
The PGA Tour said on Thursday it had a "constructive working session" at the White House with President Donald Trump and LIV Golf Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan on efforts to resolve the schism that exists between the two professional golf bodies.
However, the moment that really stole the show was when President Donald Trump addressed a Black History Month Reception that was happening at the White House, and since Tiger Woods was already there, he apparently invited him to tag along. It made for quite the moment, as you can see in this photo shared by the White House:
