Donald Trump departs for Ryder Cup in New York on Air Force One

Donald Trump suddenly upended his foreign policy on Ukraine, and he faces a potential government shutdown next week, but the president wouldn’t miss what’s on his calendar next: attending the Ryder Cup.

When Trump arrives in Long Island, New York, on Sept. 26 for the opening day of the storied biennial competition between the top American and European golfers, it will be just the latest marquee sporting event that America’s No. 1 sports fan has attended.

For Trump ‒ an avid golf follower, former team captain on his high school’s baseball team and onetime owner of a football team ‒ sports fandom is nothing new. Yet the number of sporting events the 79-year-old Republican attended during his second term has been nothing short of historic for a U.S. president, even eclipsing the pace from his first White House term.
