The Super Bowl. The Daytona 500. NCAA wrestling championship finals. Now LIV Golf Tournament. President Donald Trump has made high-profile sporting events part of his legacy during his second administration.
Trump managed a golf trifecta — he attended, played or competed at all three of his Trump National Golf Club sites in Florida — after arriving April 3, 2025, for a four-day stay in his home state. It was his ninth visit to Florida and his eighth to his private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, since his second term began Jan. 20, 2025, or Inauguration Day.
At times, members of his inner circle, including the Trump family, accompanied Donald Trump to high-profile sporting events. This story contains information about the games, matches or competitions he attended and who sat in the VIP box with the commander-in-chief. When was the last public appearance for the Trump family? Keep reading.
Donald Trump traveled home to Florida to visit his three Trump National Golf Club locations here. He played three rounds of golf this weekend and claimed another club championship even with the country in crisis and global markets plummeting after announcing his "Liberation Day" tariffs on April 2, 2025. It was his ninth visit to the Sunshine State and the eighth to his home and private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, since his second term as president began Jan. 20, 2025.
Trump capped his long golf outing — including dinner with LIV golfers at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Florida — by playing in the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, where was declared the winner. He played golf at Trump International Palm Beach Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, not far from Mar-a-Lago.
The 2025 LIV Golf Tournament was held at Trump National Doral Golf Club. Here are the Trump family members who participated in LIV Golf festivities the weekend of April 3-6, 2025:
Since President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, 2025, which also was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday, life for the commander-in-chief has been busy. From Jan. 20 to April 7, for example, Donald Trump has visited his home state of Florida nine times and eight to his private club and primary residence, Mar-a-Lago. (Donald Trump is expected back in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, April 11, through Sunday, April 13.)
In addition to his presidential duties, traveling and legislation, Trump has made time for four significant events in sports: Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, the NCAA wrestling championship finals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the 2025 LIV Golf Tournament in Florida. Members of the Trump family have attended both, but the entire Trump family clan has not been publicly seen together since the week of Inauguration Day festivities. That includes all five Trump children, Melania Trump and her father, Viktor Knavs.

- On Thursday, April 3, first up was Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Florida, where the president's resort hosted the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament. He made headlines for landing his helicopter, Marine One, on the golf course.
- On Friday, April 4, the president played at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, not far from Mar-a-Lago. He arrived via the Beast and presidential motorcade.
- On Saturday, April 5, Trump reportedly played in the senior championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, which is about 12 miles north of Mar-a-Lago. It was the same day as nationwide protests against Trump and Elon Musk, the SpaceX/Tesla CEO who is leading the Department of Government Efficiency. There were 45 Trump-Elon Musk Hands Off rallies in Florida, with some down the road from Mar-a-Lago. As more than 1,000 protests nationwide occurred that day, the White House touted Donald Trump's success on the links, issuing a statement heralding the "president won his second round matchup of the senior club championship" at his Jupiter golf club and noted he "advances to the championship round" the next day.
- On Sunday, April 6, reporters traveling with the president noted Donald Trump arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter and departed after noon. He left Florida later that night.
