Tiger Woods joins Kai Trump graduation celebration
The graduation ceremony itself saw a strong turnout from the family. Don Jr’s sister, Tiffany Trump, attended the event to support her niece and was accompanied by Secret Service agents.
Tiffany’s husband, Michael Boulos, also joined the family for dinner afterward. Tiger Woods attended the graduation ceremony to support Kai, though he kept a low profile.
He arrived 15 minutes late to the commencement ceremony and left about 20 minutes before the rest of the crowd, skipping the dinner later that evening.
Woods’ appearance followed his recent return from a month-long stay at a rehab facility in Zurich, Switzerland, after a DUI arrest in March.
