Trump loves the game of golf and takes pride in his relationships with some of the pros
It is widely known that President Donald Trump holds a great affinity for the game of golf. He not only enjoys watching and playing alongside golf professionals, but also takes pride in his close relationships with many of them.
Trump often mentions names of top golfers in his conversations, such as Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, and Scottie Scheffler. He even designs golf courses and sometimes invites these pros to visit his resorts. For instance, former US Open champion Scottie Scheffler was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump.
Trump's friendship with pros extends beyond just casual interactions. He has awarded some of them, like Gary Player, one of the sport's greatest golfers, with the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also praised McIlroy's "unconquerable courage" after he won the 2020 Masters Tournament, interrupting his speech to congratulate the Northern Irish golfer.
