On the 18th (Korean time), at the charity event 'TaylorMade Driving Relief' held at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida, USA, NBC, which was in charge of the broadcast, aired a live phone interview with President Trump. President Trump, who said, "I hope the golf tournaments return to normal as soon as possible," added, "I hope people no longer have to wear masks," and expressed his wish for "all professional sports events to be held."

This event drew even more spotlight with the appearance of world No. 1 Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland). McIlroy and Dustin Johnson formed a team to compete against 'Oklahoma State University alumni' Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff (both from the USA). McIlroy's team won after a near-pin playoff on the 17th hole (par 3, 120 yards), and the total prize money of $3 million along with various funds totaling $9.8 million were donated as contributions to overcome the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
