Photos exclusively taken by DailyMail.com show Sen. Lindsey Graham golfing with Donald Trump at his resort in West Palm Beach just a day after the senator announced that the Republican Party can't 'move forward' without the former president.
Trump is seen wearing his typical white polo and red MAGA hat as he hit the links with golf buddy Graham, in a light blue polo, at the Trump International Golf Club, Florida on Saturday.
The pair have been working on their golf game a lot over the last couple months, and were seen playing a round at the same Florida golf club last month, before Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago to cheers from his supporters. Before that, the pals golfed in March with rising LPGA star Jaye Marie Green.
On Friday, Graham announced that his former boss and regular golf buddy was essential if the GOP wanted to take office again in 2024.
'I would just say to my Republican colleagues, can we move forward without President Trump? The answer is no,' the South Carolina senator told Sean Hannity on Fox News on Friday.

Graham's comment comes as Republicans seek to remove their third-ranking House member, Rep. Liz Cheney, from her post because of her ongoing criticisms of the former president.
'I've always liked Liz Cheney, but she's made a determination that the Republican Party can't grow with President Trump. I've determined we can't grow without him,' Graham told Fox News.
Graham previously had harsh words for Trump following the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, repudiating the former president's claims of election fraud.
But Graham wiggled back into Trump's good graces, in part by staunchly opposing his conviction in a second Senate impeachment trial, and more recently, pushing for Trump to be part of the GOP's plans moving forward.
There's been infighting among the Republicans over whether they should move on from the former president or include him as an integral part of their election strategy.
Graham previously told Axios on HBO that that Trump could either make the GOP 'bigger' and 'stronger' or that he could 'destroy it.'
While some Republican leaders like Cheney want to move way from 'the Trump cult of personality,' as she wrote in a Washington Post op-ed on Wednesday, The Hill reported.
Her likely successor as chair of the Houser Republican Conference, Rep. Elise Stefanik, is a staunch Trump supporter.
