President Trump was delayed leaving his New Jersey golf resort for a meeting with the Japanese prime minister because he was apparently glued to the TV watching as Tiger Woods wrapped up his first PGA victory since 2013.

“Tiger is playing great. Looks like a big win could happen. Very exciting! @TigerWoods,” Trump, a longtime golf fan, wrote on his personal Twitter account.

He posted the tweet at 4:43 p.m. as Woods closed in on the victory at East Lake Golf Club in Georgia.

According to the White House press schedule, Trump was expected to leave Bedminster, N.J., for the Wall Street heliport at 4:45 p.m.

But pool reports show he didn’t leave until 5:22 p.m. and Marine One didn’t touch down in New York until 5:45 p.m. — about 40 minutes behind schedule.

The White House did not explain why the president was late.

At 4:52 p.m., Trump in Bedminster tweeted about his meeting in New York.

“Going to New York. Will be with Prime Minister Abe of Japan tonight, talking Military and Trade. We have done much to help Japan, would like to see more of a reciprocal relationship. It will all work out!” he wrote.
