Trump attends Presidents Cup as U.S. team rallies to win

President Donald Trump attended the final day of the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club in Illinois on Sunday, serving as the tournament’s honorary chairman, addressing spectators before the singles matches and watching players tee off. The U.S. team, which had been trailing before Sunday’s matches, rallied to win the tournament, according to event coverage and Trump’s post-event remarks. An aircraft identified as Air Force One flew over the course about 90 minutes before players teed off. Trump then appeared at the first tee, where he spoke briefly to spectators. He said the crowd wanted to watch golf rather than hear speeches, and said he wanted to watch the players compete. He also praised the golfers as among the best in the world. Trump shook hands with U.S. players as they arrived and watched the tee shots. Reports differ on how long he stayed: one account said he remained through the closing ceremonies, while advance plans described his presence through the final match’s tee-off. The available accounts do not establish a single confirmed timeline for his departure. The visit drew supporters and protesters outside the club.
