Donald Trump and golfing ace Sir Nick Faldo are on very different pages when it comes to LIV Golf , even as buzz builds that Trump might be eyeing the six-time major champion for a role in the White House. In a surprising twist at a campaign event in Bozeman, Montana, Trump hinted at a potential role for Faldo in his administration should he triumph in the November elections, calling the golf icon a "major friend of mine". Following his marriage to fourth wife Lindsay De Marco in December 2020, Faldo's engagement with Republican circles has noticeably increased.
De Marco, an enthusiastic supporter of Trump and the GOP, was alongside Faldo at the rally. Amidst cheers from the crowd, Trump said: "This guy is a major golfer. He is a major friend of mine.
One of the best ever. They knighted him in England or the UK. And he just knew how to win.
"He could take on the world's top players and they always folded against him. In fact, I think I need to bring him into government 'cause we like to get other people to fold. And his nickname is Foldo because he makes everyone but his name is Faldo.
Nick Faldo and his beautiful wife, Lindsay. Where is Nick?". Scanning the crowd, Trump acknowledged Faldo's presence, adding: "That guy can play golf.
.. he's won six majors and many, many tournaments, and he's one of the greatest golfers ever.
" However, the pair already have shared opposing views on one big issue - LIV Golf. Faldo is not a fan of the breakaway league, which has caused division .
