Els, who owns a home near the Trump-owned Trump National Golf Club in Florida, has a section on his website which classes Trump as a “friend”, describing him as “the most recognized businessman in the world, and the Trump brand is readily acknowledged as representing the gold standard around the globe.”

Played golf today with Prime Minister Abe of Japan and @TheBig_Easy, Ernie Els, and had a great time. Japan is very well represented!
