This year’s Ryder Cup didn’t just generate a walk down memory lane, but also made currents runs just like politics! After Team Europe’s big victory, a number of European players and fans were quick to take a jab at U.S. Donald Trump, the president who was quite known for golf and never hesitates in expressing his views on the sport.
Trump was annoyed with the jokes that emerged after Europe’s victory, reports say. Trump loves golf and owns several championship golf courses across the globe.
He has been quite vocal about his opinions on the Ryder Cup, the PGA and players. This time, though, the joke was on him, as Europe’s celebration was a little tongue-in-cheek.
“Trump would not have failed to show his own confidence.” In a statement, he commended the Ryder Cup competitive atmosphere but said that the European jibes were “childish” and “classic sore winner behavior.”
Furthermore, he added that he has huge respect for the U.S. players. Adding to that, he thinks that the future of golf in America is bright and predicted that the U.S. will come back stronger in the next Ryder Cup.
Some viewed Trump to be defensive, others argued that his love for golfing naturally makes him react like that. The Ryder Cup is not just a sporting championship, and it has almost become a battle of pride between the two continents, and Trump has always aligned himself with it.
However, the celebrations of the European team show us what makes Ryder Cup so special. It’s not just about birdies, pars and trophies; the rivalry and banter, and cultural jabs also make it memorable.
Regardless of whether you love or hate Trump, his reaction is certainly adding more to the event’s legacy.
Hogan made his winning putt for an eagle-3 on the 18th hole to secure the championship in the 1948 edition of the Ryder Cup. With Trump involved—actively or not—never miss the drama.
