WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama and his most famous golf partner - Tiger Woods - are getting together again, but off the green this time.

Ernie Els is among the group of international team members who are attending.

Obama and Woods played golf together in Florida last year.

The president is an avid golfer who can be found on the course most weekends. He has played more than 170 rounds of golf since becoming president.
