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 – he became a member of the Robert Trent Jones club in 2017 after leaving the White House after his second term – 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.

Perhaps Obama brought some good luck early as the U.S. won the first three foursomes matches and led 3-1 after the morning session.
