This is the first official season of the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf league, which includes 14 events in seven different countries. Trump, an avid golfer, has been an early, enthusiastic backer of the rising league.

The Washington, DC-based Trump National Golf Course will host LIV Golf DC May 26-28, according to the website. Later, Trump National Bedminster in New Jersey will host LIV Golf Bedminster August 11-13, and Trump National Doral will host LIV Golf Miami October 20-22, according to LIV Golf.
