What happened

It took place at the very golf club where President Donald Trump this weekend claimed to have won his club championship with a gross score of 70, an outlandishly low number for an 80-year-old to shoot (even if he were a professional).

Why it matters

What has transpired at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., as this week’s LIV Golf event is to begin Thursday is akin to a bit of a sleight-of-hand shell game.

Common ground

It’s a scenario that’s difficult to comprehend and one that a scant few LIV players are willing to talk about as they’ve spent the past two days declining to speak to reporters.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Doubt: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
