Trump says LIV Golf circuit creates ‘gold rush’ for players

BEDMINSTER, N.J.: Former President Donald Trump played another round at his home course Thursday, this one different from so many others. He was part of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational pro-am, put on by a global tour he says is creating a “gold rush” for players.

The third LIV Golf event, which starts Friday at Trump National Bedminster, added four new players to the 48-man field. 

Henrik Stenson of Sweden is among the newcomers, which led the European tour to strip him of the Ryder Cup captaincy for the 2023 matches in Italy.
