Professional golfer Rory McCluroy said he recently faced President Trump with Green. Here, the current president admitted that he is not a fan of the LIV golf circuit and prefers the PGA Tour.
A Northern Ireland golfer said the conversation with the president took place before he took office in January.
“I learned he's not a fan of the liv format. I was, but you hosted their event.” He told reporters He was discovered alongside Donald Trump Jr. at the Genesis Invitational on Wednesday.
“He said, 'Yeah, but that doesn't mean I like it.' So I think he's on the tour side. ”
The LIV League was first created in 2021 as an alternative format for professional golfers. It has fueled controversy with players and fans due to its relationship with the Saudi monarchy's public investment fund, which funds LIV tournaments and functions.
Trump National Doral in Miami was the host of LIV's first competition in October 2022. This year, the site is scheduled to host the LIV Miami event from April 4th to 6th, a week before Augusta's Masters.
LIV players are allowed to play on the DP World Tour, but PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monaghan has banned PGA Tour players from participating in competing league tournaments.
