6. I'm not sure what you mean by that. I mean I can't find that he ever publicly supported Trump.

but he bolted to the LIV tour to take the money from the Saudis and Trump, and has supposedly had friendly negotiations with Trump about the PGA merging back with LIV. He also was forced to withdraw from a tournament he was leading in 2021 because they found out he was not vaccinated. He's certainly not as bad as many on the US team, but I'll always consider every golfer who bolted to LIV as an asshole.

In the meantime, Scheffler, DeChambeau, Burns and Thomas from the American team have all publicly pledged their support to Trump. Scheffler & DeChambeau are both clearly Ultra MAGA. I will always hope for every one of them to lose every time.

I remember reading years ago that David Duval , when he was winning PGA tournaments, said he was the only Democrat on the tour. That wasn't completely true but close to it. Probably at least 90-95% of American Pro Golfers are Republicans.
