Barack Obama has “an amazing touch,” said Tiger Woods on Tuesday after a private weekend round of golf with the US President.
Woods, currently ranked No. 2 in the world, and Obama teed off together against US trade representative Ron Kirk and Houston Astros owner Jim Crane at the luxury Floridian Yacht & Golf Club, New York Daily News reported.
Woods and Obama won the game, and the 14-time major champion had plenty of praise for his partner’s golfing skills, Agence France-Presse reported.
"Playing with Mr President was pretty cool," Woods told reporters after a practice round at the WGC-Accenture Matchplay Championship in Arizona, according to ABC News.
"He hit the ball well, and he's got an amazing touch. He can certainly chip and putt.
"If he … spends more time playing the game of golf, I'm sure he can get to where he's got pretty good stick."
