Hailey Rae Ostrom often shares her sports knowledge on her Instagram profile. And fans engage with it. While Paige Spiranac is an established brand, Ostrom is a label in the works. She is a thriving amateur golfer and holds superb control over her swings.

Ostrom recently recalled meeting ex-president Donald Trump. She said, “So, I was invited to a LIV golf tournament to play in their pro-am and it happened to be the one in New Jersey at the Trump National Golf course. I was pretty intimidated because I was there by myself. And I was around all the PGA LIV players, as well as celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner I played with that day. And president Donald Trump.”

Paige Spiranac’s rival met Trump through a member who was also playing at the course that day. “He was showing me the ropes and introducing me to people. While we are on a driving range, warming up, he said, do you wanna go meet Don?” 

To Hailey’s surprise, the member revealed they were friends with Donald Trump. And Ostrom said yes to meeting him. She also adds, “And before anyone says anything, this is not a political post. This is not telling about my political statements.”

Hailey is referring to the tournament as the pro-am prior to the LIV Golf Invitational – Bedminster at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster on July 28, 2022. Trump has not shied away from expressing his opinion, which also stands true in the case of LIV Golf.
