Imagine this. A golfer, Grant Forest, wins big at a tournament hosted on a course owned by none other than Donald Trump. And then, in a twist of fate, he gets a video call from the man himself, the US president. Forest with a chuckle recalls the bonkers conversation that followed. “It was like being in a dream,” he exclaims. I mean, one minute I’m celebrating my win and the next I’m on a call with the president of the United States. But here’s where it gets controversial. Forest reveals that Trump, in his role as the course owner, invited him to play the very next day. I had to politely decline, Forest says. But it was an offer I never thought I’d get. This week, Forest is among eight Scots competing in the DP World Tours PGA Championship at Wentworth. He’s also eyeing one of the PGA Tour cards up for grabs, which would be a huge step up in his career. It’s all about staying focused and improving every day. Forest explains, “Getting one of those cards would be incredible, but I’m not putting all my eggs in that basket. I’m just taking it one step at a time. And this is the part most people miss. Forest had the chance to play a few holes with Rory Mroy, fresh from his Irish Open win. It was an honor to play alongside one of the greats. Forest says Rory’s talent is off the charts. His precision and power are unmatched. So, what’s next for Grant Forest? Will he secure that PGA Tour card? And what other surprises might the golf world have in store for us? Let’s discuss.
