Trump attends second LIV golf event in a week at his Virginia course

President Donald Trump attended his second golf tournament in as many weeks, both at courses he owns.

A week after watching PGA Tour action at his Doral course in South Florida, Trump traveled by motorcade to Trump National Golf Course Washington D.C. in Sterling, Virginia, to see LIV golfers.

Trump arrived at a presidential suite on a golf cart, where his son Eric sat with someone from the Public Investment Fund. The president shook hands with the man.

Trump said last week that LIV golfers returning to the PGA Tour would help the sport amid uncertainty after the league announced Saudi funding would end after this season.

"I do believe that all of the golfers should be playing against each other. They were viewing something as a monopoly, but it's swaying away. It should be the opposite of a monopoly," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office last Thursday.

"I want to see Rory [McIlroy] playing Bryson DeChambeau. I want to see big Jon Rahm playing Scottie, who is so great. Scottie Scheffler is great. They have great players on LIV, but it's almost like people want to see that. That's why the Masters was so good, because you saw everybody together."

"The tour wants to have the best players. You can't have the best player that they're boycotting now. They may do something, you know, a little bit, but they'll all be back on tour, and it'll be great. I don't know what's happening with LIV."

Trump has attended LIV events at his courses before. This marks one of two LIV events at a Trump course this year; the next comes in Bedminster, New Jersey, in August.

The Cadillac Championship last week, won by Cameron Young, was the first PGA Tour event at a Trump course in a decade.

Trump also attended the first day of the Ryder Cup last year at Bethpage Black in New York.
