Republicans have 12 members of Congress on the list, while Democrats have five. Capitol Hill staffers took 17 spots on the list, 15 of which went to the GOP. And among former members of Congress on the list, there are five times as many Republicans as Democrats.
All four of America’s most recent presidents have made the list. Donald Trump was the highest ranked golfer at No. 11, Barack Obama came in at 43, President Biden is at No. 59, and George W. Bush at No. 86.
