President Donald Trump’s decision to award Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom does little to curb the ongoing criticism that he’s using his office to further his business interests. Trump is set to bestow the prestigious award upon Woods on Monday evening in honor of his Masters victory last month, reviving attention to the athlete’s friendly relationship with the president and golf course magnate. It’s even more unusual for a president to give the award to someone he’s in business with. Perhaps the biggest business partnership involves Woods designing a golf course for Trump’s Dubai property. The Trump World Golf Club Dubai was slated to open in late 2017, but it’s behind schedule.
