Trump's attendance at the US Open men's tennis final last weekend resulted in hundreds of fans missing the start due to enhanced security protocols. 

The PGA of America is seeking to mitigate the impact his presence may have at Bethpage in New York at the event in a fortnight's time, with the worry being that any arrival for the highly-anticipated first tee shots on Friday September 26 is likely to create significant chaos. 

"While President Trump has indicated interest in attending the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage, specific details have not been confirmed," said a statement from the organisers on Wednesday. 

"As we get closer to Ryder Cup week, we will communicate any relevant updates that may impact the Ryder Cup experience. 

"Our priority remains delivering a seamless, secure and first-class event for all our guests." 

It is an issue European captain Luke Donald has already factored into his planning. 

"We were told that he's coming Friday. We don't know the details yet. I guess he will want to be on the first tee. Again, we understand that he's coming and both teams will be ready for that," he said. 

"The PGA of America is obviously organising this. There was some delays at the tennis. I think you're probably all aware of that, but hopefully they have learnt from that."

But Trump has an "open invitation" to visit Ireland for next year's Irish Open at Doonbeg, the club he owns. 

Rory McIlroy will defend the title he won on Sunday at Trump International Golf Links Ireland in County Clare in September 2026 after the venue was confirmed on Wednesday. 

Taoiseach Micheal Martin, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, said there was "no question that President Trump will be welcome to Ireland" given the economic, cultural and familial links between Ireland and the US.
