Ryder Cup to Sort Out Trump Attendance After US Open Delay

The PGA of America has not confirmed specific details of President Donald Trump’s plans to attend the Ryder Cup, which could impact the fan experience.

After President Donald Trump’s attendance at the US Open men’s final delayed the match’s start time by 48 minutes on Sunday, questions remain about how his presence will impact the next major sporting event he plans to attend: the Ryder Cup.

Trump is planning on attending the opening round of the biennial U.S. vs. Europe team golf competition Sept. 26 at Bethpage Black Golf Course in New York, he posted on his Truth Social account last month.

The PGA of America, which organizes the Ryder Cup when it’s played Stateside, was already expecting record crowds of up to 60,000 fans per day. Any extra security measures in place due to Trump’s attendance could further complicate the fan logistics of that opening day.

“While President Trump has indicated his interest in attending the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, specific details have not been confirmed,” the PGA of America said in a statement to Front Office Sports. “As we get closer to Ryder Cup week, we will communicate any relevant updates that may impact the Ryder Cup experience. Our priority remains delivering a seamless, secure, and first-class environment for all our guests.”

Trump, in his social media post, said he would be attending the Ryder Cup “at the invite of the PGA Tour,” but PGA of America CEO Derek Sprague later confirmed to The Athletic that his organization invited Trump

After the Jan. 6, 2021, riots, the PGA of America moved the 2022 PGA Championship out of Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey to Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa. Bedminster had previously hosted the 2017 U.S. Women’s Open, which Trump attended during his first term in office.

In 2026, the PGA Tour is returning to Trump National Doral for the first time since 2016, and LIV Golf will play at a Trump course for the fifth consecutive season. On Sunday at the U.S. Open in New York, Trump was spotted with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, who is the chairman of LIV Golf and the governor of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
