Trump Watch: 7 Sporting Events The President Could Attend in 2025

The year is 2025, and President Donald J. Trump is back in the White House. While some presidents spend their first few months focused on policies, Trump’s priorities include golf, Diet Coke, and finding the best events to make a grand entrance.

With that in mind, here are seven sporting events that President Trump could appear at. Some are safer bets than others - but if you hit big, you might be able to afford your own gold-plated Air Force One.

*odds are for storytelling purposes only.

1. The Masters

April 10-13, 2025 – Augusta National GC

Odds: -110

Trump loves golf almost as much as he loves making an entrance. Augusta National is one of the few places in the world that might be able to match his obsession with exclusivity, lush greenery, and extremely expensive memberships.

Would he show up? Very possible.

Would he try to give the green jacket to himself? Even more possible.

Expect Trump to provide commentary from the gallery: "I’ve played this course. Many times. They say Tiger is great, but honestly, folks, I’ve hit better shots. Tremendous shots."

If you’re betting, this is a solid play.

Prediction: Decent chance, especially If he can bring his own golf cart.

2. The Kentucky Derby

May 3, 2025 – Churchill Downs, KY

Odds: +100

Trump at the Derby just makes sense. It’s got wealthy people, fancy hats, and a winner’s circle where he can declare himself victorious without actually racing.

Expect him to place a bet on a horse named something like "You Missed", “Tremendous Victory” or “Stable Genius”.

Bonus prop bet: +500 he signs an executive order demanding the horses race again if his pick loses.

Put your money down - Trump is likely to make an appearance here.

Prediction: Even money, almost a lock.

3. Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest

July 4, 2025 – Coney Island, NY

Odds: -250

Trump loves America. Trump loves attention. Trump loves food. Put all of those together, and you’ve got a very safe bet that he'll show up at the most patriotic food-based sporting event in the country.

There’s even a small chance he challenges Joey Chestnut to a one-on-one eat-off.

"Folks, I used to eat hot dogs. The best hot dogs. I could’ve been the greatest, but I was too busy fixing America."

If you want an easy win, bet on Trump showing up here.

Prediction: Put the house on it!

4. The WWE SummerSlam

August 2025

Odds: +500

Trump is a WWE Hall of Famer, which is a real thing that exists. He’s already taken a (bad) Stone Cold Stunner, and his friendship with Vince McMahon means a surprise appearance isn’t off the table.

Would he get in the ring? Unlikely.

Would he endorse a wrestler named “MAGA Mania”? Much more likely.

This is a long shot, but if you’re looking for big payout potential, this is your bet.

Prediction: Long shot, but never say never.

5. The World Series

October 2025

Odds: +200

America’s pastime meets America’s past and present president. Trump has attended MLB games before, and he may try to throw out another first pitch - though let’s be honest, the man is much better at throwing shade than baseballs.

Expect a +700 bonus prop bet on whether he leaves early and posts: “Game was over when I left. Boring. Sad!”

Prediction: Fairly possible, especially if the Yankees are in it.

6. The 2026 College Football National Championship

January 5, 2026 – Miami, FL

Odds: +150

Trump loves college football crowds - they tend to love him back. If a Florida team is in the title game, expect a very good chance that he’s on the sidelines, maybe even trying to call a play.

If Alabama is in it? +300 odds he tries to rename it the "Trump Bowl."

Prediction: Likely If Florida teams are playing.

7. The WWE Royal Rumble

January 2026 – TBD

Odds: +750

Could Trump return for a one-time-only appearance?

Would he win the Rumble by default after throwing out every opponent and declaring victory?

We’re not saying it’s likely… but if there’s one event where anything can happen, it’s the WWE.

This is your high-risk, high-reward bet - but if it happens, you’ll be richer than a guy who just won a Trump-themed casino jackpot.

Prediction: Wild card pick, but stranger things have happened.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, the only thing less predictable than sports is politics.

If you’re looking to bet on Trump’s next sports appearance, focus on events that are:

1. Over-the-top
2. Televised
3. America-themed

The Masters? Good bet.

Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest? Near lock.

The Royal Rumble? Risky, but fun.

And if you lose, just claim the sports betting apps rigged it - works every time.
