NEW YORK - President Donald Trump will travel to Long Island on Friday to
attend the Ryder Cup golf match between the United States and Europe,
according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Claire Leavitt.
"This event is one of the greatest sporting events in the world, and it would
not be taking place this year without President Trump’s help," the press
secretary said during a press briefing Monday.
He attended the men's U.S. Open final on Sept. 7, and four days later, he
took in a New York Yankees game against the Detroit Tigers on the 24th
anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"To have the president here, it's been a tough few weeks for our country with
some of the stuff that's been going on, and to have our president here and
for us to represent the United States of America, albeit being in a golf
tournament, is extremely important for us, and we're excited to be on home
soil with the home crowd, and we're ready to get this tournament started,"
world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler told reporters at Bethpage on Tuesday.
Scheffler also revealed that he has spoken with Trump after some of his big
victories on the course, praising him as one who "loves the game of golf" and
"treats people with the utmost respect."
Team USA captain Keegan Bradley added, "I'm deeply honored that the President
of the United States is going to come support our team at the Ryder Cup
