President Donald Trump says he will be at the opening round of the |
|
high-charged Ryder Cup next month in New York, and he thinks . |
|
|
|
Trump posted Saturday night on his that he would be there on Friday, |
|
Sept. 26, for the start of three-day matches between the United States |
|
and Europe. |
|
|
|
He said he was invited by the PGA Tour, making a common mistake |
|
distinguishing between the tour and the PGA of America, which runs the |
|
Ryder Cup in America. A PGA of America spokesman said the organization |
|
and Bradley invited Trump. |
|
|
|
Already the most raucous event in golf, this Ryder Cup has more |
|
anticipation than usual because of the venue — the Black course at |
|
Bethpage State Park on New York’s Long Island, a public course with . |
|
|
|
Given his passion for golf, it was expected Trump would make a presence |
|
at some point during the Ryder Cup. He met with PGA Tour Commissioner |
|
Jay Monahan and Tiger Woods earlier this year to try without success to |
|
solve the divide created by the breakaway, Saudi-funded LIV Golf. The |

Bradley, 39, is the youngest American captain since Palmer was 34. |
|
Whether he should play and maintain captain duties has been the subject |
|
of much debate, and Bradley has added to the intrigue by winning twice |
|
in the last year. |
|
|
|
He shot 63 on Saturday — a few hours before Trump’s post on Truth |
|
Social — to get into fourth place with a . |
|
|
|
“Keegan Bradley should DEFINITELY be on the American Ryder Cup Team |
|
— As Captain!!! He is an AMAZING guy. It will be a great Ryder |
|
Cup,” Trump wrote. |
|
|
|
Trump, who attended the Super Bowl in February and most recently the |
|
final of the FIFA Club World Cup in New Jersey, is friendly with |
|
several prominent golfers. Bryson DeChambeau, who qualified for the US |
|
team, has and was the only golfer Trump appointed to the . |
|
|
|
Bradley’s decision on whether to play will come Wednesday when he |
|
announces his six captain’s picks. |
