Tiger Woods has agreed to help with the renovation of Langston Golf Course—a historic public track in Washington, D.C., which opened in 1939 as the city’s first golf course specifically built for African Americans—a White House adviser told Front Office Sports.

Langston is one of three public golf courses (alongside Rock Creek Park Golf and East Potomac Golf Links) in D.C. owned by the National Park Service, which in 2020 handed over operations of the courses to the National Links Trust, a nonprofit created in 2019, as part of a 50-year lease.

In 2024, the NLT launched the Nation’s Capital Project, which seeks to revitalize and rehabilitate those three historic municipal golf courses. Famed golf architects Gil Hanse (Rock Creek), Beau Welling (Langston), and Tom Doak (East Potomac) have all signed on to provide pro-bono architectural services.

Work at Rock Creek is underway and likely won’t be finished until 2027. That project’s estimated cost, paid for by funds raised by the NLT, is between $25 million and $35 million. Once the Rock Creek renovation finishes, Langston will be up next.
