The Trump Dance, a celebration move inspired by President-elect Donald Trump, has taken the sports world by storm.
Initially seen in the NFL, college football, and the UFC, the trend has now reached international sports, making its debut in professional golf.
British LPGA star Charley Hull, currently ranked 12th in the world, performed the Trump Dance during the final round of The Annika tournament on Sunday.

Detroit Lions defenders Za’Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez also joined the craze, along with Tennessee Titans receivers Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Bowers later spoke about his performance, revealing the influence of mixed martial arts. “I’ve seen everyone do it,” Bowers said, referencing UFC fighter Jon Jones, who performed the Trump Dance during a fight the night before. “I like watching UFC, so I saw it and thought it was cool.”

Following his remarks, the Raiders’ public relations team abruptly ended his media availability, sparking speculation.
USA Today noted that no official explanation was provided for the PR team's decision to halt the interview.
The Trump Dance gained traction after Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, becoming a symbol of celebration for many of his supporters and beyond.
UFC star Jon Jones and a host of NFL players were among the early adopters, giving the dance widespread visibility.
The move involves a signature double-fisted pump motion, reminiscent of Trump’s own gestures during rallies and public appearances.
The celebration’s appearance in golf adds another layer to its growing popularity, expanding its reach beyond American sports.
Hull’s adoption of the move highlights its ability to transcend cultural and national boundaries, resonating with athletes across different sports.
While some have questioned the PR team’s handling of Bowers’s interview, the Raiders have not issued a statement clarifying their position.
