Donald Trump says he is going to "play golf (quickly)" with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson at his golf club.

He said he would do it after speaking to the Turkish president about bringing peace to the Middle East.

The US president is spending Thanksgiving in Florida.



The US president is about to play around of golf with two of the sport's legends.

On Friday, Donald Trump tweeted that he would "play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson" at his golf club in Jupiter, Florida.

He said this would follow speaking to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan "about bringing peace to the mess that I inherited in the Middle East."

This is not the first time Woods has played golf with Trump. In January, Woods played with the then-president-elect and said, according to CBS Sports: "What most impressed me was how far he hits the ball at 70 years old."

Woods has also played with former presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.

Despite having criticised Obama for playing the sport while in office, Trump has appeared to do it more than his predecessor during their first years of presidency, according to Politifact's "Truth-O-Meter."

He also spent part of Thursday playing golf at Mar-a-Lago, where he and his family are spending Thanksgiving, The Hill reported.

Earlier this month Trump played golf with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo, during which Abe appeared to fall over and roll into a bunker.
