President Donald Trump drew a thunderous ovation Friday as he arrived at the Ryder Cup with his granddaughter Kai, sparking booming chants of “USA! USA! USA!” from the patriotic crowd packed into the grandstand behind the first tee at Bethpage Black.

The 2025 Ryder Cup, hosted for the first time at the iconic Bethpage course in Nassau County, saw Trump step into the spotlight during the afternoon four-ball session. With Team USA trailing Europe 3–1 after a rough morning in the alternate shot matches, fans erupted in cheers as Trump took his seat, shaking hands with supporters and former U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin.

“So, as we get set for the afternoon session, there’s a new spectator in the house — the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and his granddaughter, Kai, also with him, just arriving to the stands here,” NBC’s broadcast noted as cameras cut to the roaring scene.

The chants echoed across the course, signaling a major boost for Team USA as they looked to rebound against a strong European side that has dominated early play. Golf analysts immediately remarked on how Trump’s presence seemed to energize the American fans, turning the atmosphere into what one broadcaster called “a very spirited second session.”

The Ryder Cup, running Sept. 26–28, pits the best U.S. players against Europe in one of golf’s fiercest competitions. After dropping three of four matches Friday morning, the U.S. hopes stars like Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, and Justin Thomas can swing momentum back in America’s favor.

Trump, a longtime golf enthusiast and owner of several championship courses, has made appearances at major golf events throughout his political career. But today’s reception stood out — a loud, unified display of national pride directed at the 47th President.
