Trump’s Growing Pro Golf Influence on Display at Bedminster
Trump Bedminster is hosting LIV Golf New York this week.
This year, the Trump-owned Trump Bedminster golf course in New Jersey has hosted the LIV Golf New York event, marking the third of five Trump-owned courses to host tournaments across golf's top three pro tours. The previous two events were held at Trump Doral for the PGA Tour's Cadillac Championship and Trump Washington D.C. for the LIV Golf Virginia event.
Last year, Bedminster was the highest earning of Trump's clubs, generating $37.6 million in strict "golf related revenue." The LIV Golf league has maintained a presence at Trump-owned courses since its inception in 2022, and this year, Bedminster once again welcomed the league, marking the first return since 2023. LIV CEO Scott O'Neil expressed gratitude for President Trump and the Trump Organization, praising the course and its people for their exceptional service.
The course's pro shop has been open to the public, offering merchandise featuring Trump and Bedminster-themed designs. Despite Trump's influence in golf, the Open Championship still remains a major conquest that has yet to be hosted at Trump Turnberry in Scotland. The course last hosted the event in 2009 and no specific timeline for future hosting has been announced.
