Daily News | Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson can’t escape politics after playing LIV round with former President Donald Trump
An hour and a half northeast of Philadelphia, across the Delaware River and through an arboreal patchwork of country estates and smallholder farms, the man who taught the world to never apologize lurched his considerable weight forward and jerked a golf club around his body. The contact was clean and straight, and after catching his balance, he stood in his garish red hat and admired the ball as it cleared the trees and cut the corner of the left-leaning dog leg.
It was a surreal day, even by the lofty standards of the surreal-est little corner of the golf world as Trump and his son Eric teamed up with Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau in a pro-am tournament that kicked off LIV Golf’s weekend invitational at Trump’s vaunted Bedminster course. The event, like the breakaway tour itself, often left you in search of the “there.
But the real hoot came whenever you looked out at this crowd of fundamentally unserious people and spotted a serious golfer milling amongst them. In these moments, it was impossible not to wonder whether any of these players truly understood what it is they’d signed up for. Take DeChambeau, for instance. After his round, the 28-year-old slugger emerged from a lunch with Trump and insisted that the afternoon had been just another step in a sincere effort to revolutionize the world of golf.
It’s a fair point, even when you acknowledge the fact that the money flowing into these golfers’ pockets is flowing out of the Saudi Arabian oil fields and bypassing the pockets of common Saudi citizens who live under a regime that utilizes some extreme forms of oppression in order to maintain control over said money.
