No matter where President Trump travels, he always has at least a few notable people from Washington with him, and Sunday was no exception. This time, though, it was members of the Nationals who joined him for a round of golf in Florida.

Nationals starter Patrick Corbin shared images on social media of the group’s outing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, near both the president’s “winter White House” of Mar-a-Lago and Washington’s spring training complex. Among those accompanying Trump and Corbin, to judge from the photos, were Ryan Zimmerman, Trea Turner, Daniel Hudson, Kurt Suzuki and former Nationals player Jayson Werth.

‘So This Happened’: Washington Nationals Played Golf With President Trump

Elliot C. Williams

Coming off a World Series win, the Washington Nationals have been having a smashing time at spring training in West Palm Beach, far away from the troubles of Washington. But, over the weekend, Washington came to them.

A group of Nats players spent Sunday golfing with President Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, as evidenced by an Instagram post from starting pitcher Patrick Corbin. Seen in the photos: Trump giving a thumbs up, Trump signing a “Make America Great Again” hat for Corbin, and his teammates, including Ryan Zimmerman, Trea Turner, Daniel Hudson, Kurt Suzuki, and former Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth, posing with the president.

After a round (no word on how the round went, as the Trump administration bars the media from attending his golf outings), Corbin posted the gallery with the caption: “So this happened today … got to golf with the President!” Besides Corbin, the other players on the golf outing stayed silent on social media. The Washington Post first reported the trip.
