Donald Trump has reacted to Team Europe’s teasing following their victory in the Ryder Cup on American soil. The European team held off a late surge from the USA to secure their first win in the U.S. since 2012.
Led by Luke Donald, Team Europe became only the fifth European squad to claim the Ryder Cup in the U.S., triumphing 15-13 at Bethpage Black in New York. Trump, a passionate golf enthusiast from the area, was present at the event, arriving via Air Force One to support his home country.
Throughout the tournament, Europe built a substantial lead, ultimately clinching victory by needing just three points from the Sunday singles matches. Despite a spirited comeback from Keegan Bradley’s USA team, Europe managed to secure the win amidst a tense atmosphere.
In a moment of celebration, Team Europe’s players shared a video message with Trump, playfully asking, “Are you watching, Donald Trump?” Trump responded on Truth Social, acknowledging the victory with a congratulatory message.
Trump’s gracious response was in line with his interactions during the event, where he commended Donald for his leadership. Bradley, showing his allegiance, paid respect to the President upon his arrival, highlighting the unique experience of having an active President at a golf event.
Although Bradley’s team struggled during paired matches, they showcased individual talents in the singles matches, testing Europe but falling short of victory. As the legends of golf prepare for another showdown between Europe and the USA in New York, the Ryder Cup continues to create lasting memories and idols, as emphasized by Tom Watson.
