President Donald Trump, alongside his granddaughter Kai Trump, arrived at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, on Friday for the opening session of the 2025 Ryder Cup, marking his first attendance at a professional golf event as a spectator since August 2023. Trump, known for his distinctive style, wore spiked golf shoes, adding a unique flair to his appearance at the venue. His arrival, which coincided with Team USA’s Bryson DeChambeau launching his opening drive, set the tone for the 45th installment of the prestigious competition.
Speaking to reporters after he landed in New York, Trump humorously stated that his decision to attend the event was prompted by the team’s poor performance in the first three matches.
