Donald Trump Tees Off In The LIV Golf Pro-Am At Bedminster

Published|Updated

Donald Trump seemed to like his opening tee-shot in the LIV Golf pro-am on Thursday morning in New Jersey. The former President quickly picked up his tee, and even got a round of applause from Bryson DeChambeau looking on.

This week's LIV Golf event, the second one being held in the U.S., is taking place at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. Trump is playing with former World No. 1 Dustin Johnson, his son Eric Trump, and DeChambeau in the pro-am.

Trump took a few nonchalant practice swings before finding the center of the clubface with his opening tee shot. The quick tee grab is a tell-all sign that Trump liked the tee shot.
