Bryson DeChambeau is not the only one with close ties with President Donald Trump. The two are good friends, sure. The golfer was also an active part of Trump’s Victory celebrations post-re-clinching presidency. However recent updates might be a bit stunning for him, as DeChambeau is not the only close friend from the golfing community.
Rory McIlroy was asked about the current deal between the PGA and the Saudi-backed PIF. The PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan and player director Adam Scott were involved in a meeting with Donald Trump at the White House. That was when McIlroy revealed something that would have surprised DeChambeau.
In the press conference before the Genesis Invitational, Rory McIlroy stated, ”Yeah I played golf with him a few weeks ago.” McIlroy had played golf with him before the inauguration, sometime in January. Post that McIlroy also gave another stunning update about the President’s thoughts on the current golfing scenario, “I learnt that he’s not a fan of the LIV format.”
That was surprising from the president as he himself was part of a few LIV Events even hosting some. “I was like, but you’ve hosted their events. He was like, yeah, but it doesn’t mean that I like it. So I think he’s on the Tour’s side.”
That would have been quite a surprise for DeChambeau who is actively close with President Donald Trump. But it also means that when the President is pushing for completion of the deal he will be more in line with the PGA Tour’s needs over LIV Golf.
This is a developing story..
