Ryder Cup organisers have asked that Donald Trump does not arrive for the opening tee shots at Bethpage this month, with fears of security chaos similar to the scenes that caused a delay to the start of the US Open tennis men’s singles final on Sunday.
Whether the message is heeded at the White House remains to be seen. While Ryder Cup officials have no issue with the US president arriving at the New York course as planned on the first day, they believe logistically it would be far easier if Trump attends for lunch and the Friday afternoon session.
