Golf penalty sparks political crisis involving Trump

At the 2026 British Open Golf Championship, American player Brawson DeShambo accused tournament authorities of threatening him with a lawsuit to President Donald Trump in protest of a penalty call that cost him two strokes, resulting in a shift from second place. DeShambo refused to accept the penalty and protested the referee's decision after the second round, repeatedly demanding a reassessment of the situation with senior officials, stating that he might contact Trump if the dispute was not resolved in his favor, despite no evidence supporting such an action. The penalty affected his ranking, removing him from second place, with Rory McIlroy affirming the validity of the decision. Tensions between the player and officials surfaced amid unclear investigations, while DeShambo continued competing and scored some of his best results of 2026, despite the ongoing controversy.
