As the world of professional golf continues to evolve, one of its brightest stars, Bryson DeChambeau, is speaking out — not just about golf, but about the man he believes is helping elevate the game to new heights: President Donald J. Trump.
Appearing on Fox & Friends, DeChambeau didn’t hold back his admiration for the 45th President of the United States, calling him “a great ambassador for the game of golf” and praising his leadership both on and off the green.
“He loves golf, by the way,” DeChambeau said. “I think he’s such a great ambassador for the game of golf and for diplomacy, in general. It’s been fun to play some golf with him, get to know him a little bit better, and just recognize that he’s just a normal person.”
For conservatives and sports fans alike, this message resonates deeply. Trump’s decades-long connection to the game of golf, from owning world-class courses to hosting international tournaments, has made him one of the most influential figures in modern golf — and according to DeChambeau, he’s also one of the most genuine.
During the interview, DeChambeau shared a behind-the-scenes moment that captured the essence of Trump’s character: a laid-back dinner with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and music legend Kid Rock.
“Man, we were with Kid Rock and [Gov. Ron DeSantis], and we just had a great dinner,” DeChambeau recalled. “We didn’t talk much about politics. We just enjoyed our time together. And we’re honestly really grateful that he’s given us the golf course to play on. Super excited to be around him.”
It’s rare to hear a professional athlete speak so candidly about a former president — and even more rare to hear them describe him in such relatable terms. But that’s the Trump difference. Whether he’s standing at a podium or teeing off on a par five, he brings the same energy, passion, and authenticity.
DeChambeau also took time to speak about his growing excitement over LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf league that has shaken up the professional scene. While the PGA Tour and LIV continue to hash out merger talks, DeChambeau was crystal clear about where he stands.
“Personally, for me, there’s been nothing but positivity from this league,” he said. “What we’ve been able to do across the globe is quite inspiring for the younger generation of golf.”
The LIV Tour has drawn controversy from legacy golf purists, but for players like DeChambeau — and fans who want to see golf grow and thrive — it’s a breath of fresh air. The league is breaking boundaries, expanding the sport’s global reach, and forcing the PGA to adapt.
“We are pushing the boundaries, for sure,” he added. “I think it showed the PGA what potentials there are, and hopefully something can get done at some point and time.”
President Trump is set to continue his tradition of supporting the LIV Golf league this weekend, hosting a dinner for players at his stunning Trump National Doral resort in Miami. The exclusive event will take place ahead of a major LIV tournament, where Trump will mingle with top players and share remarks.
The tournament itself is shaping up to be a powerhouse showcase, featuring 13 teams of elite golfers. Big names like Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, and of course, Bryson DeChambeau, will all be competing on the picturesque Doral greens.
After the event, President Trump is expected to head back to his nearby Trump National Golf Club, just 30 minutes north of Mar-a-Lago — his home base and the heart of the America First movement.
For years, President Trump has championed American greatness in every arena — politics, business, culture, and yes, sports. His involvement in professional golf isn’t just about the game; it’s about leadership, excellence, and vision.
By opening his courses to LIV and publicly supporting its players, Trump is doing what he’s always done: standing up to outdated systems, championing competition, and building something bigger and better.
Golf, like politics, is changing — and with Trump in the mix, it’s only getting more exciting.
