President Donald Trump reported receiving $122,050 worth of tickets to ten sporting events in 2025, according to his latest annual financial disclosure released Tuesday.
The largest package came from New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson, who gave Trump 10 tickets to Super Bowl LIX valued at $50,000. Trump attended the game in New Orleans last February, becoming the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
Rolex, a sponsor of the US Open, provided Trump with 10 tickets to the tennis tournament valued at $25,000. FIFA president Gianni Infantino gave him 10 tickets valued at a combined $15,000 to what the disclosure lists as the “FIFA World Cup Final.” The tickets may have been for the 2025 Club World Cup final, which Trump attended and presented the trophy to Chelsea after. Both last year’s Club World Cup final and this year’s World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The PGA of America supplied 15 Ryder Cup tickets worth $11,250, while the France family, which controls NASCAR, gave Trump 15 Daytona 500 tickets valued at $7,500.
Secret Service records obtained by Front Office Sports show the Daytona 500 trip generated $561,842.63 in expenses, including more than $335,000 for hotels.
UFC CEO Dana White, who has a close relationship with the president, provided 30 tickets worth a combined $6,750 for events in Miami and Newark. The disclosure also listed 15 Yankees–Tigers tickets from Yankees chairman Hal Steinbrenner worth $3,000, 15 Commanders–Lions tickets from Commanders owner Josh Harris worth $2,250, and five tickets to the NCAA men’s wrestling championships worth $1,300.
The Secret Service spent $65,252.31 protecting Trump at the NCAA wrestling championships and $45,310 for UFC 314 in Miami. Including the Super Bowl and Daytona 500, the agency expensed nearly $800,000 for the first four major sporting events Trump attended in his second term, according to the records.
As outlined in the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act of 1966, domestic gifts to the president can be retained without purchasing them from the federal government. Gifts worth more than the federal reporting threshold generally must be listed on an annual financial disclosure and may be subject to federal taxes.
The latest disclosure covers only gifts received in 2025, though Trump’s run of sports appearances has continued this year.
Asked how the ticket values were determined, a White House spokesperson did not answer and said that “This is the same, tired narrative that Democrats have pushed against President Trump” and that “There are no conflicts of interest.” (FOS did not ask about conflicts of interest.)
On June 8, Trump attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals as a guest of Knicks owner James Dolan. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani also attended, but said he purchased his standing room ticket.
“I bought my tickets for nearly $1,000,” Mamdani said ahead of the game. “And I’ll be standing for the duration of the game.”
Trump is expected to attend the World Cup final on July 19 in New Jersey, where FIFA president Gianni Infantino has said he will present the trophy to the winning team.
