Tiger Woods is lending a helping hand with the renovation of Langston Golf Course in Washington D.C., a White House advisor told Front Office Sports.
Langston Golf Course opened in 1939 along the Anacostia River and was the district’s first course specifically built for African Americans.
It joins Rock Creek Park Golf and East Potomac Golf Links as historic municipal golf courses in D.C. owned by the National Park Service, which in 2020 handed over operations to the National Links Trust.
Ed Russo, a consultant to President Donald Trump and chairman of the White House Environmental Advisory Task Force, announced the news that he will be working with Woods on the Langston Golf Course.
“I’m responsible for redesigning it and making it better than it ever was,” Russo told Front Office Sports last week. “And I’m proud to say that Tiger Woods has agreed to help me do that.”
The National Links Trust declined comment to Front Office Sports when asked about Woods’ involvement in the project.
Woods, 49, is a 15-time major champion and winner of 82 tournaments on the PGA Tour. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2021. — Reuters.
