“I don’t think he has any plans to address us as a team, but I’m sure if things go well, we’ll hear from him this week,” said Scottie Scheffler about the 47th POTUS, Donald Trump, on attending the Ryder Cup on home soil.

However, with the chatter increasing about Trump’s appearance amid security concerns, the captain was asked if it would really help the team.

During the press conference, Bradley was asked if Trump’s appearance would factor into the performance or if there was any concern about distraction.

Denying the worry, the captain said, “No, definitely not. I’m deeply honored that the President of the United States is going to come support our team at the Ryder Cup. I think anytime you can be around a current president is a pretty phenomenal thing, but when you’re representing your country at a place like Bethpage Black in New York, having the president there to support you is something that is just absolutely incredible. I’m really grateful to him for doing that for us.”

This year, Trump has been active in his appearances at sports events. Earlier in February, he was seen attending a Super Bowl match. Later, he joined the spectators of the Club World Cup final in July. In fact, the most recent was his appearance at the US Open men’s tennis finals in September; however, there was a recent struggle with his ally’s assassination.

Charlie Kirk, a US conservative activist, was assassinated a few weeks ago, changing the dynamic for the President. This might impact his plans for appearing at the Ryder Cup. Speaking on similar lines, Scheffler also said, “It’s been a tough few weeks for our country with some of the stuff that’s been going on.”

In fact, for a similar question, Patrick Cantlay has also shared his thoughts, saying, “It should be great. I think it’s going to be a very iconic sporting event in one of the biggest sporting cities in the world, and the fact that it’s a team event and we’re out there wearing the red, white, and blue is going to be fantastic.”

However, it is of significance also that the President will make an appearance for the Ryder Cup. Luke Donald adds to that, “I think anytime a sitting president wants to come to an event, it just shows how big the Ryder Cup is. You’ve got to see that as a mark of respect.”

The ultimate rivalry between Europe and America is set to tee off at a public course, namely Bethpage, for the first time, with the American team trying to redeem the performance on home soil. It was expected to see the president in support, as he is an avid golfer. Trump has not publicly been a spectator to the Ryder Cup before until now, but he is no stranger to golf team events. He had made an appearance in the closing ceremony of the 2017 Presidents Cup.

In fact, he has played a crucial part in the attempts of reunification of the golf world. In September, too, he was seen with the chairman of LIV Golf watching the US Open.

Donald Trump, a step closer to reunification

This year, as talks of reunification were being sidelined after Brian Rolapp was appointed as the new CEO of the PGA Tour, Trump’s appearance has left the golf world in hope. During the US Open finals, Yasir Al-Rumayyan was spotted sitting in President Trump’s box. Josh Carpenter, an SBJ reporter, has shared an update on the two players who stood during the national anthem.

Well, this marks the second time the duo has been spotted together. Earlier, the two were seen talking during UFC 309. Even though that talk later initiated a discussion at the White House. Now with the two spotted together, it increases the hope of the two leagues coming together.

In fact, the Ryder Cup will be an excellent opportunity for Donald Trump, as players from both leagues are participating. However, despite the security concerns, it remains uncertain. Will Trump support the American side? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
