"Trump's visit to the US Open men's final in early September caused heavy delays at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, causing the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner to be delayed by over half an hour as fans slowly made their way through TSA-style security outside Arthur Ashe Stadium. Despite that delayed start, the upper decks of Arthur Ashe remained half-empty throughout the first set as fans continued to experience heavy delays."
"Those delays have prompted the PGA of America to ask the President to delay his visit until later on Friday to give fans time to make their way into the viewing galleries, according to widespread media reports. It is unclear if Trump will heed those requests, although some reports suggest he will not be on the course for the first tee-offs."
President Donald Trump has signaled he will attend the opening day of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Team USA is attempting to regain the Ryder Cup after losing comprehensively in Rome two years ago. The PGA of America warned fans to expect enhanced security measures and additional restrictions Friday morning, with gates opening at 5 a.m. ET for a 7 a.m. start. Trump's recent attendance at the US Open men's final caused heavy entry delays after TSA-style security checks, prompting the PGA to ask that his visit be delayed to ease crowd access. Several Team USA members, including captain Keegan Bradley, said the team felt deeply honored by his attendance.
