“If it were anyone else…” - Dustin Johnson jokes about Donald Trump being late
Well, it is no secret that former US president and business mogul Donald Trump is a big supporter of the controversial LIV Golf series.
In July 2022, Trump showed up to the LIV Golf - Pro Am event at the Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey. However, he arrived almost nine minutes late to the tee time. The tee shots were supposed to start at 10:00 am, but Trump arrived at 10:09 am keeping US golfers Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau waiting.
According to a report in The Telegraph, Johnson joked about it saying:
Donald Trump apparently refused to play off the forward tees that amateur golfers played off in the Pro Am. Also he used a golf cart designed to go twice as faster as a standard one.
Trump hit the fairway in his opening tee shot as per reports and told the crowd:
The LIV Golf series will be returning for their second season in early 2023.
