HuffPost sports

Key Points:

  • Cameron Young praised Donald Trump after winning the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral, calling him a "very powerful" and "interesting man" and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to play at Trump-owned properties.
  • Young's remarks sparked controversy on social media, with some fans outraged and threatening to withdraw support, while others viewed his comments as diplomatic and non-political.
  • Despite the praise, Young demonstrated sportsmanship by calling a one-stroke penalty on himself for a rules infraction, contrasting with Trump's controversial reputation for cheating in golf.
  • The Cadillac Championship, the PGA Tour's first event at Trump National Doral in a decade, saw lower attendance possibly due to Trump's involvement, weather issues, and absence of top players like Rory McIlroy.
  • Trump National Doral had not hosted a PGA Tour event since 2016, officially due to sponsorship problems, but the backlash over Trump's past derogatory remarks about immigrants likely contributed to the hiatus.
