After seeing Donald Trump sworn in for a second term as president of the United States, Sam Carp, Michael Long and Ed Dixon consider what impact his return to the White House will have on sport.

The trio reflect on the role team owners and other sporting personalities played in helping the 78-year-old win November's election before looking ahead to some of the major events set to take place under his watch, including the 2026 Fifa World Cup and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. 

As the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continue to hammer out a peace deal, there's also time to discuss what Trump's warm relationship with Saudi Arabia could mean for the future of golf and the wider industry.
