Donald Trump expected at LIV Golf New York tournament in Bedminster

LIV Golf resumed U.S. competition with its New York tournament launching Thursday at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, drawing stars such as Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm. A White House official told one outlet that Donald Trump plans to attend, though his precise schedule remains unclear. This marks Trump's third appearance at a professional tournament on his courses this year, following events in Miami and Virginia.

The league faces a funding gap after the Public Investment Fund announced it will no longer provide financing, prompting CEO Scott O'Neil to announce a preliminary deal with a new lead investor that would make players majority equity holders beginning in 2027. Reports indicate the prospective investor may be the credit division of private-equity firm BC Partners, pending guarantees that top golfers stay with LIV. The event is the second-to-last regular-season stop of LIV's turbulent 2026 season.
