Trump and Woods have become close over the years. Woods announced the death of his mother earlier in the week.

"It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning," Woods wrote in a post on X. "My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible. She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. 

"Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom."

Trump offered his condolences to the legendary golfer. Kultida Woods was with her son in 2019 when he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump.

"I was just informed that Tiger Woods’ wonderful Mother, Kultida, passed away – She has gone onto greener fairways!" Trump wrote in a post. "Kultida Woods was an amazing influence on Tiger, and gave him much of his strength and brilliance. Melania and I send our love and prayers to Tiger and his incredible family!"

It’s unclear if Woods will be at the game as well.

Coverage of Super Bowl LIX begins at 1 p.m. ET. It will be broadcast on FOX and streamed live on Tubi.

For the first time since the British Open in July, Tiger Woods is back in action on a golf course.

Woods, 49, committed Friday to playing 18 holes at the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines. 

It will be the first time Woods will be competing since he had a microdiscectomy in September to alleviate pain in his legs. It was the sixth surgery he has undergone on his lower back.

It is also the first time Woods will be playing since the loss of his mother, Kultida Woods, who died Tuesday at the age of 80. 

Normally, the Genesis Invitational is at the Riviera Country Club, but the tournament was moved to Torrey Pines due to the wildfires that devastated the Los Angeles community. 

Woods has had a lot of success during his illustrious career at Torrey Pines, with eight wins on the public course alongside the Pacific Ocean.

Torrey Pines is the course where Woods last finished in the top 10 at a PGA Tour event, when he was in a tie for ninth at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2020. 

There is no cut at the Genesis Invitational, meaning Woods will be walking for all four days no matter his performance. 

The last time Woods played four rounds was at last year’s Masters, when he broke the tournament record for most cuts made at the prestigious major with his 24th consecutive cut made. 

Woods missed the cut at the other three major tournaments he played in. 

The 15-time major champion has been competing in the indoor TGL league, which debuted Jan. 7, 2025. 

The Genesis Invitational begins Feb. 13 and runs through Feb. 16.

Tiger Woods' famed annual golfing event, The Genesis Invitational, is being moved from Los Angeles to San Diego after the devastating wildfires damaged the original course. 

The PGA announced Friday the event will move 123 miles south to Torrey Pines Golf Course in the La Jolla neighborhood in San Diego, the site of this week's Farmers Insurance Open.

Woods says the event will be a platform to help fire victims.

"We are grateful to the City of San Diego and Torrey Pines for hosting the 2025 Genesis Invitational, and to everyone who has reached out in support of the tournament," Woods said in a statement. "While Riviera remains the home of The Genesis Invitational, we look forward to playing on another championship caliber golf course this year and using the tournament to support those affected by the fires in the Los Angeles area."

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan also expressed gratitude.

"Our thanks to Tiger Woods, TGR Live and Genesis for their leadership in these efforts," Monahan said.  "We are grateful to Farmers Insurance, [San Diego Mayor] Todd Gloria and the City of San Diego and the Century Club for extending the invitation to relocate The Genesis Invitational to Torrey Pines."

"Highlighting the resilience of Los Angeles and the need for continued support for the ongoing recovery efforts is what our collective teams are working towards with the playing of The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines," Monahan added in his statement.

The Riviera Country Club, where the event was originally supposed to be played, was not destroyed by the fires. However, it is dealing with power and water issues, and the tournament is being moved out of respect to fire victims.

The Genesis Invitational is expected to return to The Riviera Country Club in 2026. 

"The devastation that is ongoing with the LA fires is such a tragedy and being from California, it hits home," Woods said in a statement shared on his social media platforms. "My heart is with those who have suffered unimaginable loss. Thank you to the incredible heroes that are the first responders helping to contain and save the community of Los Angeles."

Golf legend Tiger Woods was among those mourning the loss of PGA Tour writer Steve DiMeglio, who lost his battle with cancer at age 63. 

Woods posted Wednesday to X, offering his condolences. 

"Unfortunately the golf world lost part of our family today, beloved golf writer Steve DiMeglio," the post said.

I am so grateful for that.

"This is a very sad day for all of golf. We have truly lost a friend."

DiMeglio was diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer in 2022 after experiencing pain in his right side after The Open Championship. 

He had to step away from the sport he covered for multiple chemotherapy treatments. The cancer had spread to his liver, colon and stomach by the time it was discovered.

Cameras caught the moment when Woods saw DiMeglio at the tournament, which brought a huge smile to his face. 

"What’s up big boy?" Woods asked DiMeglio before giving him a hug. "You look good dude!"

DiMeglio responded, "I came all the way down here to hold the door open for you, big man."

While fighting his disease, DiMeglio, known for his USA Today golf coverage, was responsive on X with fans and followers. 

According to multiple reports, DiMeglio died peacefully in his Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, home.
