The expected became official on Wednesday as LIV Golf officials confirmed former President Donald Trump will be playing in Thursday’s pro-am ahead of the LIV Invitational event at his Bedminster, New Jersey, course.
Trump, an avid golfer, will play in a foursome with his son, Eric, and LIV golfers Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. The pro-am is not open to the public.
Two Trump-owned courses are hosting events as part of Saudi-backed series in 2022; Trump Doral in Miami will be the site of the upstart circuit’s season finale in October.
Given his connection to the LIV Golf series, it’s no surprise that Trump has been promoting the tour of late, stating that players should be grabbing the guaranteed money being offered before it is too late.
Trump Bedminster was in line to host the 2022 PGA Championship, but the PGA of America decided to move the location of the Major shortly after the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capital. The PGA was instead played this past May at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
