AUGUSTA, Ga. — Donald J. Trump jumped at the opportunity to make Jim Herman’s game great. Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, peeled away from the campaign trail last month to play a round of golf with Herman, whose PGA Tour career he has helped finance.
On the first tee at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., Trump bypassed his normal playing partner, the 11-time Champions Tour winner Dana Quigley, and announced that he would team with Herman, who had missed the cut in three of his previous five PGA Tour starts.
