White House officials said Trump will attend Saturday’s game between No. 1 Texas and No. 14 Tennessee at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.
The Southeastern Conference matchup between the No. 1 Longhorns and No. 14 Volunteers is one of the biggest games in the country this weekend. Trump will watch Texas quarterback Arch Manning play for the first time in the stadium where his uncle Peyton became famous.
Trump is then expected at Medinah Country Club on Sunday for the final day of the Presidents Cup. The biennial PGA Tour team event features 12 American players competing against 12 international players from outside Europe in match play.
Trump is the competition’s honorary chairman, a ceremonial role previously held by former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush.
The weekend continues a run of prominent sports appearances by Trump since he returned to office. He has attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, multiple UFC events, the FIFA Club World Cup final, the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Ryder Cup matches, and the College Football Playoff championship.
