Donald Trump has reacted to Team Europe’s taunting following their victory in the Ryder Cup on American soil. The European team successfully fended off a late surge from the USA to secure their first win in the U.S. since 2012.
Led by Luke Donald, Team Europe clinched the Ryder Cup by a score of 15-13 at Bethpage Black in New York, becoming only the fifth European team to achieve this feat on American turf. Trump, a devoted golf enthusiast and native of the city, was present at the event, arriving via Air Force One to support his home country.
Despite a strong start from Europe, the USA mounted a spirited comeback on the final day of singles matches, creating a tense atmosphere at Bethpage Black. However, Europe managed to maintain their lead and claim victory amidst a hostile environment fueled by the home team’s fans.
In a light-hearted gesture, Team Europe players filmed a video message for Trump, playfully asking, “Are you watching, Donald Trump?” The former President acknowledged the message on Truth Social, responding with a congratulatory message.
The sportsmanship continued as Trump praised Captain Donald for his leadership and support during the event. USA Captain Keegan Bradley also showed respect by bowing down to Trump upon his arrival, appreciating the unique experience of having an active President at a golf event.
While Bradley’s team faced defeat, the individual talents showcased in the singles matches highlighted the competitive spirit of both teams. As the golfing legends from Europe and the USA gear up for future battles, the Ryder Cup remains a platform for creating idols, legends, and lasting memories, as emphasized by Tom Watson.
