There is a planned presidential visit to Bethpage Golf Course for the opening day (Friday), but could Donald Trump also present the Ryder Cup on Sunday?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Golf-Loving Donald Trump Tipped To Present Ryder Cup To Winning Team\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some are saying the Donald Trump Ryder Cup visit<\/a> on Friday might lead to delayed tee-times – something us amateur golfers are used to, but not the pros.<\/p>\n

However, with the added security around any president trip this is a strong possibility.<\/p>\n

Just ask the organsiers of the US Open tennis final – when Donald Trump turning up to the Sinner vs Alcaraz clash leading to a 40-minute delay.<\/p>\n

But if the Trump trip to Farmingdale on Friday does go smoothly – then there is every chance he could return on Sunday to present the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump Would Become The First Sitting US President To Present Ryder Cup<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Ryder Cup format<\/a> on the final day is all about the singles – as ALL 24 players will be in action with 12 points on offer.<\/p>\n

Therefore, a lot can change over the course of Sunday, with many twists and turns – resulting in the guys updating the leaderboard being busier than Santa on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

Before a ball was hit the betting sites were making USA the odds-on favourites and with home advantage it’s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

Based on the world rankings the USA team also have the best players – with all 12 ranked in the top 25.<\/p>\n

But whichever team comes out tops on Sunday, they could be involved in creating more Ryder Cup history – if Donald Trump presents the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

No American president has personally presented the Ryder Cup to the winning team.<\/p>\n

In the past, George H.W. Bush and son George W. were well-known backers of the US team.<\/p>\n

While Trump himself, in his first term as president and the last US leader Joe Biden, where both supporters – but none of these actually presented the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Meaning Donald Trump, if there on Sunday – would be the first.<\/p>\n

Who Normally Presents The Ryder Cup?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Ryder Cup is normally presented to the winning team by representatives from the Ryder Cup’s organising bodies.<\/p>\n

Which is the PGA European Tour and the PGA of America.<\/p>\n

But with Trump recently presenting the football Club World Cup to Chelsea, being at the Super Bowl in February, a Yankees game this month and the US Open tennis final – then the limelight-loving president has shown a liking for attending big sporting events this year.<\/p>\n
