President Donald Trump is currently at his resort in Doonbeg, Ireland, observing the Irish Open. Ahead of Sunday's final round, Irish golfer Shane Lowry holds a four-stroke lead in the competition.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick noted that golf is a primary pastime for the President, alongside building. Trump has frequently spoken about his connections with leading professional golfers, citing Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau, and Scottie Scheffler as friends.
These relationships have included social media posts, White House invitations, and civic honours. Several professionals are also collaborating with Trump on redesigning golf facilities in the Washington region.
