With the arrival of Friday, the first round on the LIV Miami has started. The 12 teams of the Tour will lock horns for the mind-blowing $50 million prize purse. The winning prize promises the fans that the competition is going to be tough and intense and the spectators will witness the full thrill of the sport.

However, there is one big question that has left many people thinking about the absence of Donald Trump from the venue yesterday. On Thursday, 48 LIV golfers and 105 amateurs participated in the PRO-AM but Trump was missing from the event which has never happened before.

Why was Donald Trump missing from the PRO-AM at Trump National Doral?

Donald Trump is the biggest supporter of LIV Golf. He loves golf and the Saudi League so much that he lent three of his courses on different continents for the league events this year. Moreover, he attended those events and even played a few rounds with players. But the situation seems to be changing.

For the first time ever, the ex-POTUS has missed the PRO-AM at his own course. Before this Trump had never missed any PRO-AM on one of his courses. His passion for sports always brings his steps to the green, no matter the weather.

However, things are different in Donald’s personal life as he is facing many criminal charges for insurrection, mishandling secret documents, and interfering in an election. The hearing for these accusations is ongoing and chances are high that he didn’t want to answer any more questions to the media about his trial.

On Wednesday, he told reporters that he might not be returning to the courtroom since he has a “very big professional golf tournament at Doral” to attend. In fact, his private plane was also seen at Palm Beach International Airport on Thursday, but he never reached Miami.

Are LIV Golf and Donald Trump getting separated?

Another school of thought is the rumors about the newly formed differences between the ex-President and LIV Golf. Apparently, Sports Illustrated has acquired a preliminary copy of LIV’s 2024 schedule, where no tournament is scheduled to be played on one of his courses, which goes against the typical routine of LIV.
