Former president Donald Trump was an avid golfer before, during, and after his presidency.
There is perhaps nobody in the world who owns a more prestigious portfolio of golf courses than Trump.
Thus far, the relationship between Trump and the Saudi Arabian golf venture known as “LIV Golf” has been very lucrative for the former president, with the golf league hosting numerous tournaments and championships on his properities.
But that all is reportedly coming to an end according to Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated.
“It appears that LIV Golf will not be returning to any of former President Donald Trump’s properties. It played at two last year, has played at two so far this year and is scheduled to play its season-ending Team Championship next month at Trump National Doral outside of Miami,” Harig wrote Monday.
“A preliminary schedule for 2024 shows no Trump venues and the season-ending team championship is listed as ‘South Florida.’”
Trump is facing 91 felony counts in four jurisdictions across America. He also faces a $250 million civil lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James. While Trump is a billionaire, those legal expenses won’t come cheap. If LIV Golf does pull the plug on Trump properties, the loss would almost assuredly be in the millions of dollars.
The world was quick to react to the surprising news:
I’m split on it but as long as they can get as quality a set of venues as his (which are great) then okay. I completely agree w the PR issue and it must be taken into account.
In the end it comes down the quality of venues for the golf, need to be there. https://t.co/1gWio2eEJi

As if Trump wasn't already hurting for cash enough, looks like LIV Golf is dumping him too.https://t.co/TNkkKR1rNl
