The former president also played in the pro-am before the LIV
event at another course he owns in Bedminster, N.J., in late
July.
According to the report, Trump will team with one pro on the
front nine and another on the back nine on Thursday. The actual
tournament runs Oct. 28-30.
Trump teamed with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau in the
July pro-am.
DeChambeau subsequently said of playing with Trump, per the
Post, "It was an honor. I mean, anytime you get to play with a
president, whether past or sitting, it's just an honor, no
matter who it is. Very lucky to have a relationship with him and
he's always been generous to me."
Trump has been a vocal supporter of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf
Series that has poached numerous players from the PGA Tour. He
began feuding with the PGA Tour after a World Golf Championship
event was moved from Doral to Mexico during his time in the Oval
Office.
In July, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, "All of those
golfers that remain 'loyal' to the very disloyal PGA, in all of
its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable
MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big 'thank you'
from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year.
"If you don't take the money now, you will get nothing after the
merger takes place, and only say how smart the original signees
were."
