Video: Trump Makes Low Profile (For Him) Arrival At Doral!
/Ever the future president, Donald Trump was all-optics Sunday, as was predicted for his WGC Cadillac appearance.
Note how he shifts from the red to the understated white "Make America Great Again" cap, or how he walks the range before the round instead of crashing the trophy ceremony, or landing his helicopter on a nearby fairway instead of on his mid-Blue Monster pad (that so irked the PGA Tour).
The restraint! He's pivoting to the middle! Or, something.
The trophy ceremony, from Jason Sobel...

Love the Secret Service allowing him to drive his own cart...

Frontrunner Trump sat down for a chat with Morning Drive's Gary Williams, with a teaser appearing here. Included is a fun question from Gary about Trump's "aspirational" philosophy for golf, which somehow also leads to some light venting about rapid-fire product cycles from manufacturers.
**Karen Crouse in the NY Times on Trump's driving range visit:
Trump also shook hands and held a brief conversation with Dustin Johnson, the only other player on the range when he blew through. Johnson, the defending champion, closed with a 79, suggesting that not everything touched by Trump, the real estate mogul turned Republican presidential front-runner, turns to gold. After making the turn in one over, Johnson recorded double bogeys on three of the next four holes to flirt with joining five players who shot worse than a 79 on a cool, blustery final round.
A new movement is taking shape at Doral today. #MakeTigerGreatAgain pic.twitter.com/iIMZl9jaPQ
