Donald Trump is reported to have conducted an awkward or unusual handshake with Australian golfer Adam Scott as they interacted ahead of the first tee at the Presidents Cup. The moment is described by outlets as occurring during Scott’s walk to start play, drawing quick attention due to the nature of the exchange.
Both reports frame the incident as an attention-grabbing anecdote from the event rather than a change to official tournament proceedings. They do not indicate that the exchange results in any formal complaint, disciplinary action, or broader disruption. Instead, the focus remains on the interaction itself and how it played out in a public, event-adjacent setting. One outlet emphasizes the exchange as “awkward,” while the other describes it more generally as “strange,” but both portray the same on-course context: Scott heading to the first tee during the Presidents Cup and meeting Trump along the way.
