President Trump would be more than welcome to join Team Europe on stage if they were to win the 2025 Ryder Cup this weekend, Justin Rose said Wednesday morning before his practice round at Bethpage Black.
President Trump would be more than welcome to join Team Europe on stage if they were to win the Ryder Cup this weekend, Justin Rose said Wednesday morning before his practice round at Bethpage Black.
Rose — a noted fan of Premier League team Chelsea — was asked about the hypothetical situation by a reporter, who referenced the Club World Cup this summer, where Trump joined the soccer club on stage after it captured the trophy at MetLife Stadium.
“One-hundred percent, yeah, would love the opportunity to have that opportunity,” the English golfer said, before joking that the president may not want to be up there if the Americans don’t win.
“Listen, I’m not sure he’s going to want to be on the stage congratulating the team that sort of wins in his backyard. But listen, of course, he’s the President, ultimate respect, and that would be a great opportunity.”
Trump is planning to attend the opening day of the Ryder Cup on Friday, but there are no known plans for him to be at Bethpage State Park beyond that.
