President Trump was in attendance for LIV Golf’s Virginia tournament over the weekend. It was being held at his Northern Virginia course.
The President of the United States has been very involved in the golf world. He’s urging LIV Golfers to leave and join the PGA Tour again. President Trump believes that’s what is best for the future of the sport.

“I do believe that all of the golfers should be playing against each other. They were viewing something as a monopoly, but it’s swaying away. It should be the opposite of a monopoly,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office last Thursday.
“I want to see Rory [McIlroy] playing Bryson DeChambeau. I want to see big Jon Rahm playing Scottie, who is so great. Scottie Scheffler is great. They have great players on LIV, but it’s almost like people want to see that. That’s why The Masters was so good, because you saw everybody together.
“The tour wants to have the best players. You can’t have the best player that they’re boycotting now. They may do something, you know, a little bit, but they’ll all be back on tour, and it’ll be great. I don’t know what’s happening with LIV.”
