By Andrew Holleran The Spun

The final round of the Cadillac Championship is underway on Sunday.

Cameron Young appears to be running away with the tournament, at -17, seven strokes up on the field. Ben Griffin, Scottie Scheffler, Matt McCarty and Adam Scott are rounding out the top five.

But is President Trump already the biggest winner?

That's what the Washington Post is saying.

The Washington Post said that President Trump is already the big winner of the weekend.

"President Donald Trump is here today, with fans hoping he'll award the trophy at the PGA Tour's Cadillac Championship. But the president has already won," they wrote.

"For a decade, the PGA Tour shunned Trump's courses as his first presidential run unnerved sponsors. The PGA Tour even pulled one long-running event from Doral and moved it to Mexico City, after the tour and other corporations had publicly chastised Trump for his tirades about Mexicans. The moves bruised the president, who forged an alliance with the PGA Tour's upstart rival, the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf, and urged top players to defect, too."

President Trump is very excited to be getting back into the golf world

President Trump is happy to welcome the PGA Tour back to his course. He's looking to get involved in the PGA Tour-LIV Golf world, too.

"We are incredibly proud to welcome the PGA Cadillac Championship back to Trump National Doral," Eric Trump, the president's son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said in a statement. "This tournament has long stood among the very best in the world of golf … and there is no doubt this will be an unforgettable weekend."

President Trump is expecting all LIV Golf players to make it back to the PGA Tour, too.

"They'll all be accepted by the tour, there's no question, because they're great," he said, adding that the PGA Tour might "do something" to penalize the players "a little bit."

"They'll all be back on tour, and it'll be great."
