"I get a call or a text from him": How Donald Trump reaches out to world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler after tournament victories

Scottie Scheffler says Trump often calls him after he wins tournaments. The world No. 1 golfer has disclosed that he receives calls from the former president regularly after taking home a trophy. Scheffler revealed over the weekend that he sometimes gets calls and messages from Trump, who is an avid golfer and a big fan of American athletes. Scheffler recalls the two having this special relationship in person ahead of the Ryder CupTrump being willing to reach out is a huge morale boost. Scottie pointed out that Trump possesses an undeniable skill to make people feel inspired and confident around him with his acts of respect and encouragement toward all. Scheffler said, “The president is kind of funny. He loves the game of golf, he loves supporting golfers and I get a call or a text from him sometimes after wins. He just loves the game of golf and he’s one of those guys when you’re around him, he does such a good job of feeding confidence into everybody around him. That was one of the things I noticed a lot with the little bit of time I spent with him, is he treats everybody the same and treats people with the utmost respect. Whether you’re the person serving us lunch or the caddie on the golf course or the guy who’s the president of the club that we’re at, he treats everybody like they’re the greatest person in the world.”This support is especially significant considering Scheffler leads Team USA into the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where Team USA will attempt to take the trophy from Europe. And Scheffler stressed that the pride of playing for the U.S. at home is a huge incentive to perform at the top of their game.Also Read: Scottie Scheffler nearly landed in hospital after dangerous temper revealed by longtime coachA few days later, President Trump will reportedly attend the opening day of the Ryder Cup, continuing his longstanding devotion to American golf.
