LIV Golf event takes a back seat as the crowds give former president a big welcome at his own golf club
It didn’t take long for the barely veiled political undertones surrounding the LIVThe several hundred spectators filling the grandstand behind the first teeinto rollicking chants of “Four more years!” that resounded across the grounds when the former US president emerged in a white polo shirt and red Make America Great Again cap to watch the leading group of Henrik Stenson, Patrick Reed and Phachara Khongwatmai begin their second rounds after the horn sent off the shotgun start at quarter past...
If day one was a Diet Maga rally, this was Maga Classic. The crowds for Saturday’s second round of the 54-hole, no-cut tournament were slightly larger and certainly louder than, when no more than 2,000 spectators descended on the 500-acre grounds of Trump National in this central New Jersey farm town 45 miles west of New York City.
But it was the former US president who once again soaked up the spotlight, even as the star-studded field of PGA Tour defectors made the simultaneous circuit around the 7,591-yard Old Course. A constant mass of several hundred supporters spent the afternoon stationed outside the enclosed terrace next to the 16th tee where Trump took in the second half of the day’s play. Many of them wore shirts branded with familiar slogans: Let’s Go Brandon; Miss Me Yet?; Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Trump.
