Henrik Stenson won the LIV Golf invitational Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

But the real winner was Donald Trump, who basked in the glow of the spotlight all week as the Saudi-backed startup league set up shop in Somerset County.

From the pre-tournament A-list party Wednesday to the pro-am Thursday and the tournament itself, which began Friday, the former president was a main attraction and cast a shadow over the tour’s biggest stars, including Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson.

On Sunday, Trump was joined in the stands by FOX News anchor Tucker Carlson and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). The trio watched Stenson close with a 2-under 69 for a two-shot victory over Matthew Wolf (64) and Johnson, who birdied the last hole for a 68.

Stenson picked up $4 million for winning and an additional $375,000 for his team finishing second. The big payoff — not including a signing bonus reported to be about $50 million — came less than two weeks after he 46-year-old Swede decided to join LIV Golf, a decision which cost him the captaincy of Europe’s Ryder Cup team.
“I guess we can agree I played like a captain,” Stenson said on the LIV Golf telecast.

He finished at 11-under 202.

Asked by the LIV-paid broadcaster if he felt validated by the win, Stenson chose not to engage and replied, “It’s been a good first week.”
