Does Justin Trudeau Play Golf? Canadian Prime Minister’s Interest in Sports Explored as Presidents Cup News Breakout

Golf is a game that has charmed a lot of people, and now they just can’t get enough of it. That is exactly the case with the current Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. Trudeau has been seen golfing around so many times like the time he went to the Belle Vue Golf Club in Léry in 2013 and had a great time despite the rainy weather.

He enjoyed connecting with the community indoors and appreciated the warm hospitality so much that he went on to his Facebook to express his gratitude. “The rain held the golfers back at Belle Vue Golf Club in Léry, but we had a great time inside,”  he wrote. Now with the Presidents Cup around the corner, Trudeau has been invited as the honorary guest at the big event.

The event is set to take place at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Canada, from September 24-29, and the fans are thrilled with the news. Trudeau expressed his enthusiasm by offering his warmest wishes to all participants in the Presidents Cup with special regard for Canada’s talented golfers, which include top players like Hideki Matsuyama, Jason Day, and Tom Kim.

“Sending my best wishes to all the golfers—and especially our Canadian stars—participating in the Presidents Cup this year in Montreal. With the Olympics, the Paralympics, and so many other tournaments, this summer has shown us all the power of sport to inspire and unite,” he said, per the Presidents Cup’s website.

Trudeau is finally joining the list of Prime Ministers who attended the President’s Cup as the honorary guest. This list includes U.S. President Joe Biden and former Presidents Donald J. Trump and Barack Obama. This was a big thing for the PGA Tour and Jay Monahan, who also expressed his thoughts on Trudeau’s acceptance to join the showdown in Canada.

He continued by extending his pride and said that the PGA Tour is ‘honored’ to have Trudeau as their honorary guest. “With the return of the Presidents Cup to Canada, we are honored to have the support of Prime Minister Trudeau as our honorary chairman for the 2024 event.”
