Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The recent back-and-forth on social media between US President Donald Trump and his former main supporter, Elon Musk, has even reached the world of golf. The popular wife of PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin has been one of those to react, and, true to her style, she has done so in a hilarious way. Jessica Hadwin used her X account, where she is followed by more than 45,000 fans, to share some jokes about one of the main current narratives in American politics: "Watching the golf. Watching a bromance breakup live on twitter," she posted, using funny emojis to show that her attention was divided between the two topics. Watching the golf 🙂↔️ Watching a bromance breakup live on twitter 🙂↕️ — Jessica Hadwin (@jessicahadwin) June 5, 2025 No less popular journalist Claire Rogers reacted to Jessica's post, also with her own unique sense of humor: "It's giving Brooks Bryson 2021," Rogers posted. It's giving brooks Bryson 2021 — claire rogers (@kclairerogers) June 5, 2025 After course, she is referencing the now infamous beef between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. Their feud reached its peak a few years ago before both players left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, and was the talk of the sport for quite some time. Interestingly, the two golfers eventually put their issues behind them. It remains to be seen whether that will happen between Trump and Musk. Adam Hadwin's wife is very active on social media, especially X. She frequently posts about various topics, offering glimpses into her daily life with the one-time PGA Tour winner. Her unique sense of humor and wit when interacting with other X users has made her a fan favorite and arguably the most-followed wife on tour. Adam and Jessica Hadwin met through a dating app in 2014. According to People, their relationship has only grown stronger since then, and they tied the knot in 2017, the same year Hadwin won the Valspar Championship — his only PGA Tour victory to date. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Maddox, in 2020.

After the first two rounds, the 37-year-old had a 5-under 36-hole score, which should easily allow him to make the cut. Hadwin carded a 67 on Thursday, with four birdies and a bogey. The next day, he carded a 68 with three birdies and a bogey. More Golf: Canadian Open: Rory McIlroy Stands Firm on Skipping Media with Harsh Retort

Fact Check: Claim Trump turned White House lawn into golf course fairway off from the truth
Claim: U.S. President Donald Trump turned the lawn of the White House into a golf course in or around early June 2025. Rating: Context: A putting green was installed on the South Lawn of the White House during President Dwight D. Eisenhower's tenure. President Nixon removed it, but the green was eventually restored by President Bill Clinton in 1995, where it has been in use since. As spring approached summer in early June 2025, a claim that U.S. President Donald Trump turned the lawn of the White House into a golf course was in full swing online. Trump's affinity for golf is well known, and a visit from a golf pro to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on June 1 appeared to drive the rumor. Social media users shared the claim on X (archived), Facebook (archived) and TikTok (archived), some including videos depicting a putting green in front of the unmistakable exterior of the White House. Others suggested Trump was specifically turning it into a "mini golf" course, while more complained that the project was a gross misuse of public money. For example, one X user wrote (archived): "It appears that Trump is converting the Whitehouse lawn into a Golf Course on the taxpayers dime!" @hopesparks01 Golf course on the white house lawn. Absolutely despicable. #trump #golf #grifter #fyp #fy #viral #foryourpage #trending #news #viralvideo ♬ POS — Sueco However, the rumor that Trump turned the White House lawn into a golf course, mini or otherwise, is a fairway off from the truth and is in fact false. Though the president did meet with pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau at the White House on June 1 and the pro did pitch up to play a hole, the "golf course" on which the two-time U.S. Open champion was photographed is actually a putting green that has been there for decades. President Dwight D. Eisenhower installed a putting green on the South Lawn of the White House in 1954, where it still stands today, although it was removed for about 20 years. A 2001 feature in The Irish Times reported that although Eisenhower's "successor, John F. Kennedy, was an accomplished golfer, probably the best ever to occupy the White House, he rarely used the green. In the event, it was finally removed during the presidency of Richard Nixon who, ironically, had been Eisenhower's vice president." This series of events was corroborated by a document from the Army Navy Country Club Foundation, an organization that maintained the green during its original use from 1957 onward. The foundation said the green was paid for "with help from [the] United States Golf Association" and that private donors also chipped in. In 1995, former President Bill Clinton had the green restored — a restoration, The Irish Times reported, that "cost the U.S. taxpayer nothing. All of the machinery, materials and manpower were donated." In mid-February 2021, a feature about the green on the golf enthusiast website said (archived): The current iteration was put in place by Robert Trent Jones Jr. at the behest of Bill Clinton. The idea for a green itself took root when devoted hacker Dwight Eisenhower lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. His green — created, along with two par 3s at Camp David, by RTJ Sr. — was removed by Richard Nixon for unknown reasons. When Clinton asked Jones Jr. to restore the green, they chose the spot of Ike's original dance floor. Further, Getty Images hosts a variety of photographs of former presidents playing on the restored green — the same one on which DeChambeau swung by to play on. Featured in the photos are shots of former President George W. Bush and his dog Barney from 2003 as well as former President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden from 2009. (Getty Images) While Trump is known to be an avid golfer, it is false to say that he turned the White House lawn into a golf course. Rather, it is a putting green that was originally installed in 1954 and restored in 1995, where it has been in regular use since. Archives, L. A. Times. "Bush Gets Putting Green on White House Lawn."

Charley Hull didn't seem happy during first round of US Women's Open —with one dramatic theory emerging
Charley Hull could have used a smoke on Thursday. The British golfing star was shown looking exasperated throughout the first round of the U.S. Women's Open while playing alongside Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson. Hull is known for playing at a brisk pace and did not seem happy at times with Thompson. Advertisement 'Charley was antsy as ever to play her next shot. She was putting her club back in the bag before it even reached the apex,' a reporter said after tracking the group on the back nine of Erin Hills. 'She was running ahead to get to her ball before anyone else could. And just generally giving us that great Charley Hull content.' Advertisement There seems to be little doubt that Hull was annoyed as play was slow on the challenging course, however, there was some question as to whether it was directed at Thompson. 3 Charley Hull watches on during the first round of the US Women's Open on May 29, 2025. AP Hull, 29, struggled for early parts of the round before a pair of back-nine birdies helped her finish even par. Advertisement 'For context, both Hull and Korda looked visibly frustrated on the front nine as I followed along—neither was playing well,' wrote Skratch's Addie Parker, who was covering the group. 'Hull had several poor reads, and missed putts. She'd miss crucial fairways (at Erin Hills every fairway is crucial) finding herself in bunkers… Ultimately the problem (if you want to call it one) lies in Korda and Hull being two of the fastest players on the LPGA Tour, if you put anyone with them, that third party will look slow.' 3 Lexi Thompson during the first round of the US Women's Open. Getty Images Parker further noted that there was a 'very obvious dynamic' with Korda and Hull talking on the sixth tee, while Thompson talked separately with her caddie. Advertisement The group is the featured one of the first two rounds — Korda is the top player in the world, Hull rocketed to viral fame after she was seen smoking at this tournament last season (she's since quit) and Thompson is a popular veteran who only plays occasionally. 3 Charley Hull tees off on the third hole at Erin Hills. Getty Images Korda finished even par after the first round, thanks to a birdie on 18, and Thompson finished 1-over. The trio was back on the Wisconsin course early Friday in the second round, with Korda off to a hot start to shoot her into contention.

2025 U.S. Open: Sergio Garcia fails to qualify for Oakmont, likely ending streak dating back to 1999
For the first time this century, the U.S. Open will almost certainly take place without Sergio Garcia. Garcia failed to earn a spot in the major championship on Monday at a qualifier in Dallas. That means that, barring some sort of late special exemption, Garcia will now miss out on the U.S. Open for the first time since 1999. Garcia bogeyed his final hole in a 36-hole qualifier in Dallas on Monday afternoon, which ended up costing him a spot in a 7-for-1 playoff. Garcia three-putted on the last green, too. He ended up shooting a 71 in his second round, which brought him to 6-under on the day. 'You have to play good in the afternoon just like in the morning, and I didn't do that,' Garcia said on his way to the parking lot, via James Hahn, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Adam Schenk also earned spots out of the qualifier, along with LIV Golf's Carlos Ortiz, Johnny Keefer and amateurs Lance Simpson and Cameron Tankersley. Other notable names who missed the mark in Dallas include Cameron Champ, Charley Hoffman, Joel Dahmen, Austin Eckroat, Abraham Ancer and Talor Gooch. Several more U.S. qualifying tournaments are set to take place on June 2. The U.S. Open is set to start on June 12 at Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh. Garcia is undoubtedly one of the better Spanish golfers in history. He won 11 times on the PGA Tour, including both at The Players Championship and the Masters — which marked his first and only major championship title — and he's won 16 times on the DP World Tour. He's climbed as high as No. 2 in the Official World Golf Rankings, though that's plummeted to 396th since he joined LIV Golf. Garcia missed the cut at the Masters last month, which marked his sixth cut in his last seven starts at Augusta National. He finished T67 at the PGA Championship last week in North Carolina, too. Garcia has been striving to earn a spot on the European Ryder Cup team for this fall, which is something he's been a mainstay on since he turned pro in 1999. Garcia has played on 10 different European Ryder Cup teams and he's earned more points than any other European player in the event's history. But, with his current play and limited opportunities to earn points on LIV Golf, Garcia will only make the team if captain Luke Donald selects him. But, after how he played at Quail Hollow Club last week, Garcia isn't interested. 'Obviously the way I'm playing, even if Luke offered me a pick right now, I would tell him no,' Garcia said Sunday, via The Associated Press. 'So obviously I need to get better. I need to get more where I was just before the Masters. You know, just show myself and show everyone that my game is solid, and it can help team Europe. It's as simple as that.' Garcia backed that up on Monday night, too. 'I just got to play better,' he said. 'I'm not doing it.'
