Former Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney’s wild golf round with US President Donald Trump revealed!
In a jaw-dropping revelation, former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney shared details about his extraordinary round of golf with none other than US President Donald Trump. The iconic football star, who played for DC United at the time, found himself in a surreal situation teeing off with the Commander-in-Chief.
Rooney, who made a name for himself in the English Premier League before heading to the Major League Soccer (MLS), recounted the bizarre experience during his time at DC United. Trump, a fervent golf enthusiast, reached out to Rooney for football lessons for his son, Barron, who was part of the DC United Academy team.
The golf outing took an unexpected turn when Barron escorted Rooney to the Oval Office and a personal assistant led him to the course, where he encountered Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City. The scene was nothing short of a high-security operation, with a convoy of 50-100 golf buggies and snipers strategically positioned to protect the President.
Rooney described the surreal experience to his former teammate Gary Neville, highlighting the intense security measures surrounding their game with Giuliani trailing behind in a golf cart. The football ace expressed astonishment at the elaborate setup, with snipers hidden in the bushes and even on a boat in the lake.
Despite the unconventional golf round, Rooney continued to excel in his MLS career, making 48 appearances and scoring 23 goals for DC United. Following a brief stint as the team’s head coach, Rooney recently parted ways with the club and joined Birmingham City.
Meanwhile, President Trump, an avid golfer, recently claimed victory in another club championship at his Trump International Golf Club in Florida. The 78-year-old’s golfing prowess has been a subject of debate, with some accusing him of ‘cheating’ on the course and questioning his handicap of 2.8.
As the LIV Golf action gears up for its fifth event at the Trump Doral Course in Miami, owned by Trump himself, the President expressed interest in merging the PGA Tour with the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Despite setbacks in previous negotiations, Trump remains optimistic about the potential merger, emphasizing the benefits for both tours.
While the PGA Tour rejected a lucrative investment offer from the PIF, Trump’s vision for a unified golfing landscape has sparked intrigue and speculation within the golfing community. With the future of professional golf hanging in the balance, Trump’s ambitions for the sport continue to make headlines and fuel discussions among fans and players alike.
