Golfing greats Gary Player and Bryson DeChambeau met U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday (May 5) as part of the White House's initiative to revive the Presidential Fitness Test that came to an end during the Obama administration.

Player, the legendary South African golfer who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump in 2021, encouraged young athletes to prioritize their health and nutrition.

Trump, who is an avid golfer and owns several course around the world, has often been seen golfing with Player.

"Well, Mr. President, first of all, thank you very much for having us and hosting this today. I've been around almost every president for the last 65 years. And I've never seen a president that loves this country as much. They all did, and they all did great works.But I've never seen a president that loves the country as much as you do, and I say thank you. Because I've traveled more miles than any human being before without being repetitive. And I've never seen a country like this. The freedom that exists, which is so important to all of us. And, you know, sport can change the world. It can give people a chance that don't have any hope. It can give them hope. As we've seen, many people with little education have become world champions. Only in America have you got that opportunity."

4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GARY PLAYER, GOLF LEGEND, SAYING:

"I say to the young people, just love this country because you don't realize what's going on around the world. Even the students of the great universities of America really don't understand what's happening around the world today. There is a silent war taking place against America today. And what we've got to do is make these kids realize that freedom and exercise and education, start reading some books. Yes, keep your phone, but also read some good books and listen to what Mr. Kennedy has said. What you put in your body is so important. What a wonderful job he's done and all your cabinet members, in which I say thank you for maintaining this great word, this cherished word, freedom."
