Overview
- In pre‑Masters interviews, Harmon said Augusta National is unlikely to accept President Donald Trump as a member.
- Harmon argued Trump is “full of himself” and does not fit the club’s member profile, citing a lifetime of familiarity through their families’ ties at Winged Foot.
- He added that holding the presidency is not a factor, noting golf‑playing presidents such as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are not members.
- Harmon contrasted Augusta’s restrained patrons with last year’s rowdy Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, saying the unruly scenes led him to withdraw from broadcasting that event.
- Augusta National, a private club widely reported to have roughly 300 members, has not commented on membership decisions and no invitation for Trump has been reported.
