Bryson DeChambeau Attends Trump Dinner with Saudi Crown Prince

Bryson DeChambeau joined Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at a high-profile White House state dinner.

On Tuesday evening, the White House hosted a dinner that brought together the political and economic elite of Washington with global sports icons. U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss a series of new agreements. Among the distinguished guests seated at the long table in the East Room—alongside tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook, government officials, Cristiano Ronaldo and FIFA President Gianni Infantino—was one of golf’s most recognizable faces and a leading figure of the LIV Golf League: Bryson DeChambeau.

LIV Golf, DeChambeau and Saudi Arabia’s Soft Power

DeChambeau’s presence at the event was no coincidence. Since joining the LIV Golf League in 2022, he has become a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s strategic involvement in global sports. Few athletes embody the connection between the controversial golf series and the kingdom’s investment ambitions as clearly as he does. This expansive engagement is driven by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which not only backs LIV Golf but also plays a major role in high-profile ventures such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Arabia, Premier League club Newcastle United, and various Formula 1 events.

Also in attendance were LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil and PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan—two key figures in Saudi Arabia’s global sports and economic strategy. They joined a room filled with influential leaders from tech, industry, and international markets. Meanwhile, Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman used the occasion to explore new investment opportunities and unveil partnerships that extend far beyond the realm of sports.
