Shortly after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, English golf star Charley Hull voiced her support and admiration for the American politician. After her first round at the LPGA's CME Tour Championship on November 21 of last year, viral golf account NUCLR Golf on X posted her quotes about President Trump after the round.

"I love Trump. I think he's brilliant. I like how he just says things, he doesn't care what people think and he's straight to the point…. "I wish he was head of the U.K. I just like him as a person. He's a little better than our Prime Minister," Hull said.

"That would be cool, I think he's legend," Hull said when asked about playing golf with Trump in the future.

President Trump has made some headlines in recent weeks in his efforts to negotiate a merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Trump even hosted Tiger Woods at the White House in February for a Black History Month event.

In March, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan discussed with Golfweek the possibility of the PGA Tour returning to Trump-owned golf properties. The PGA Tour used to play an annual stop at Trump Doral before pulling the site shortly after Trump launched his 2016 presidential campaign. They also discussed Trump's role in trying to facilitate LIV Golf and the PGA Tour.

"I'd say two things on that front. [President Trump's] focus is on solving the opportunity, and that's reunifying the game. In terms of the PGA Tour and looking to our future, that's something we would initiate. Those are two different paths. The path he's been involved on most closely is reunifying the game," Monahan said.

Monahan also told Golfweek that the PGA Tour would like to return to Trump Doral.

"We've been at Doral in the past and we would love to return," he added.

Hull, on the other hand, will be looking to pick up the pace and get her hands on some silverware this season.
