Ron DeSantis, Eric Trump hit the links in Doral for LIV Golf Pro-Am

DORAL — A number of big names in politics and professional sports teed it up alongside LIV golf pros like Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson at Thursday's LIV Golf Pro-Am at Trump National Doral Miami.

While the golf time allowed for some friendly practice on the course prior to the three-day LIV Golf Miami event, the professional golfers did so alongside some big names working on their amateur game.

Here is who was in attendance during Thursday's Pro-Am.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his wife Casey DeSantis, and their son Mason DeSantis, were in attendance for Thursday's Pro-Am event, with the governor golfing nine holes each alongside LIV pros Jason Kokrak and Graeme McDowell.

He shared a father-son moment on Thursday, with each of them hitting back-to-back practice putts on the green.

But he wasn't the only prominent figure with political ties there at the event, nor even in his group.
