On Sunday, LIV Golf superstar Bryson DeChambeau out-dueled Rory McIlroy to win the U.S. Open Championship. And his victory drew the attention of former United States President Donald Trump who offered his congratulations not only to DeChambeau for winning the tournament, but to LIV Golf for signing him in the first place.
In a post on his Truth Social on Sunday, Donald Trump had some high praise for Bryson DeChambeau after his impressive win.
“Congratulations to Bryson DeChambeau on his incredible WIN of the United States Open! He showed a toughness and inner strength, matched perfectly with his GREAT Golfing Talent, that can never be denied! Under massive pressure, he pulled off some of the greatest shots ever made, especially his spectacular sand save on the 18th Hole that gave him the Victory. “Mr. 58” has always been a WINNER, and will go on to many more Major Championships. He is a truly tough competitor, even a nasty one, but he also happens to be a great guy. The U.S.A. could not be better represented,” Trump said in his post on Truth Social,
Trump went on to praise LIV Golf for their “genius” decision to sign DeChambeau in the first place.
“Congratulations also to LIV Golf for their genius in signing Bryson and other of the best Golfers in the World,” Trump said. “Hopefully Golf will soon come together as one, fully united, which is the way it should be!”
Over the past couple of years, LIV Golf has been luring some of golf’s top stars with massive cash payouts. DeChambeau was one of those players, and it sounds like that decision worked out well for the league.
