- Continuing his involvement in golf, President Donald Trump will attend the 2025 Ryder Cup on Sept. 26.
- Trump also appeared to endorse Keegan Bradley, who is already the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, to also play on the team.
No stranger to a high-stakes international events, President Donald Trump will be in attendance next month when the United States and Europe face off at the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage State Park in New York.
Trump announced on his social media site that ‘at the invite of the PGA Tour,’ he will be there on Friday, Sept. 26 for Day 2 of the biennial golf competition at Bethpage Black. The European squad won the Cup in 2023, defeating Team USA 16½-11½ at Marco Simone Country Club in Italy.
Nassau County (Long Island) executive Bruce Bakeman confirmed Trump’s planned appearance at the 45th edition of the Ryder Cup.
Trump also appeared to weigh in on the burning question of who should fill out the U.S. squad.
‘Keegan Bradley should DEFINITELY be on the American Ryder Cup Team — As Captain!!! He is an AMAZING guy,’ Trump wrote.
Bradley, of course, is already on the squad as U.S. captain, having been named to the post in July 2024. However, there is building momentum for Bradley to name himself as one of his six discretionary picks for the 12-member team.
Bradley entered the final round of the season-ending Tour Championship in fourth place, three shots behind co-leaders Patrick Cantlay of the U.S. and Tommy Fleetwood of England.
The last time any U.S. Ryder Cup captain also played on the team was when Arnold Palmer did it in 1963.
During his first term as president, Trump attended the 2017 Presidents Cup at Liberty National in New Jersey. Earlier this week, Trump’s Doral Resort Blue Monster course was named the venue of a new signature event on the 2026 PGA Tour schedule, the Miami Championship.
