Overview
- Reports say LA28 organizers are working with White House officials and the Trump Organization to arrange a non‑official pro‑am at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in the run‑up to the 2028 Games.
- The planned event would pair amateurs with professional players and is not expected to be an International Olympic Committee‑sanctioned competition.
- LA28 chair Casey Wasserman has led outreach to the administration as organizers seek smoother federal coordination for visas, security and transport.
- Federal support for the Games already includes an $875 million congressional transportation provision and a State Department‑requested visa processing portal for competitors.
- The White House referred requests for comment to the Trump Organization, which had not immediately responded, and the proposal raises ethics and optics questions because of past controversies tied to the venue and LA28 leadership.
