Four days after a meet-and-greet with the 12 players and five coaches with the American contingent at a team dinner, former President Barack Obama was back at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, for the first day of action at the 2024 Solheim Cup.
Obama is a big fan of golf â he became a member of the Robert Trent Jones club in 2017 after leaving the White House after his second term â and is a big fan of this event.
His appearance Monday was a surprise but he received a rousing welcome Friday when he stepped out of the tunnel at the first tee.
