Ryder Cup captain makes his feelings clear on | Golf News

Team Europe’s Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has declared he and his gamers shall be “ready” for Donald Trump‘s anticipated go to to Bethpage Black later this month, while expressing hope that the PGA of America has taken classes from the US Open tennis debacle.

The U.S. President has more and more sought to affiliate himself with sporting occasions during his second White House tenure. His presence was felt when Chelsea claimed the Club World Cup, and his Sunday look at Flushing Meadows resulted in vital delays to the lads’s closing.

Trump’s entrance created chaos, with heightened security protocols leaving hundreds of spectators trapped in intensive strains outdoors the venue, inflicting substantial postponements to the championship match itself. The avid golfer is also anticipated to attend Bethpage Black in New York later this month – costing American taxpayers MILLIONS – but Donald maintains he stays unfazed by the President’s anticipated presence. Tiger Woods, meanwhile, has risked upsetting Trump with his latest public look.

Speaking at Wentworth before the BMW PGA Championship, the Englishman revealed: “Yeah, we were told that he’s coming Friday. We don’t know the details yet.

“I believe the tours are speaking about it with the PGA of America to get more info. I suppose he’ll need to be on the first tee. Again, we perceive that he is coming and both groups shall be prepared for that.”

When pressed to elaborate on his meaning of “prepared for that,” Donald explained his expectations regarding his players’ response to Trump’s arrival.

He added: “Just to anticipate that he is coming. I believe, clearly, the PGA of America is clearly organising this. There had been some delays at the tennis. I believe you are most likely all conscious of that, but hopefully they’ve learnt from that.

“It’s a big process, obviously, to get a president to come to an event. There’s a lot of security and everything. It takes some work, I’m sure.

“The PGA of America’s job is to make sure it is seamless, and he needs to be there to most likely greet the gamers, and I believe the gang might be going to be loud no matter what.

“Again, I think just as long as we know that the president is going to be there, it’s not like he’s just going to turn up and we didn’t expect it. We know he’s going to be there, so it’s fine.”

Donald and his squad are making ready for a chilly welcome at Bethpage, with the boisterous New York viewers anticipated to tip the scales significantly toward the American group’s benefit. However, the two-time captain seems untroubled by the prospect of a hostile setting, expressing confidence in the security measures designed to safeguard his gamers.

“We will have a unified approach amongst the players, the caddies, the wives, everything,” he said. “Obviously, we’ve been told by the PGA of America that a strong amount of police are going to be there. They have their protocols in place, too.

“So much of conversations over the last six months, and they’ve assured me that it is going to run easily.”
