President Donald Trump’s golf fandom is well documented, and his presence at the 2025 Ryder Cup was marked by two flyovers.
Trump called in to “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Nov. 11 as part of a special Veterans Day broadcast. During the segment, Trump weighed in on everything from NIL bidding wars to the NFL kickoff rule. Trump also gave his biggest takeaway from Europe’s 15-13 win over the United States in Farmingdale, New York.
“The other team, they really sank a lot of putts. You’re looking and they’re sinking 30-footers, 40-footers, 70-footer, and just one after another, and it was interesting,” Trump said. “It looked like it was over and then Sunday, it really, they almost came back.
“You have to give a big hoot to an opponent who dropped about a six-foot putt. That was a big putt, that final putt. It was a big putt. But that was very close.”
Trump continued: “Look, I think they sank, they putted unbelievably, really they were unconscious with it. I really believe that that was unusual because I’ve never seen so many long putts go in before. I don’t think, generally speaking, that would happen. We actually, our team actually hit the ball a little bit better, hit more fairways. If the rough were longer … it might have been a little bit different.
“But look, they’re all great players. I know so many of them from both sides and they are just very talented people.”
McAfee asked Trump why the “golf gods” were letting Europe’s putts fall, but not ones by the U.S.
“I don’t know,” said Trump, who added “somebody probably said the wrong thing.”
Even in defeat, Trump was proud of Team USA, saying “to come that close, you have to say it was a pretty good comeback.”
