Golf is perhaps the biggest love in Trump's life, as he owns 16 courses and routinely plays just about every weekend. Trump National Doral hosted LIV Golf's Miami tournament from 2022 to 2025 with Trump participating in some of the pro-am events. Trump attended the first day of the 2025 Ryder Cup, which the host United States lost. He calls golf legend Tiger Woods a close friend; Woods said he was calling the president after getting involved in a rollover car crash near his Jupiter Island home in March.
Trump has made his mark at several sporting events since first becoming president in 2017, especially in places considered Republican hotbeds. The president attended the College Football Playoff national championship game at Miami's home stadium, though he was greeted with a hearty mix of boos and cheers. He has gone to the Daytona 500 multiple times, most recently in 2025. The start of the rain was delayed by rain — the previous time he went in 2020, the Great American Race was pushed back by a day because of the weather.
The president returned to friendly grounds amid historically low approval ratings. A poll released April 28 by Reuters/Ipsos indicates just 34% of Americans approve of Trump's performance, the lowest point of his second term, as gas prices continue to rise amid his ongoing war in Iran and continuing stonewalls around the release of files related to pedophile ringleader Jeffrey Epstein, among other things.
