WASHINGTON DC - In a telephone appearance during a televised charity golf exhibition on Sunday , US President Donald Trump enthusiastically supported the return of live sports events during the coronavirus pandemic.

While Sunday's golf exhibition was contested without spectators, the President said he hoped that future events would be teeming with fans. In an interview in late April, Dr Anthony S. Fauci, the leading public health expert on Mr Trump's coronavirus task force, said he would not feel comfortable returning to a stadium until the infection rate was lower.

"When you have the Masters, we want to have big crowds," Mr Trump told NBC."And now, right now, that's not what they're planning, but you never know what happens. Things can happen very quickly."It was not a complete surprise that the President, who is an avid golfer, golf fan and golf course owner, would be included in the NBC broadcast of the first live golf event in more than three months.

In a recent interview with the McKellar Golf Podcast, McIlroy said he accepted the invitation to play with Mr Trump out of respect for the office of the president, but would not likely do so again.
