President Donald Trump ordered a “large scale strike”<\/a> against Venezuela to capture its leader and transport him to the United States, where his administration plans to put him on trial.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army\u2019s Delta Force, an elite special operations unit, led the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, a U.S. official briefed on the matter told Fox News. The operation has drawn reactions from those in the political arena as well as sports figures with close ties to Venezuela.<\/p>\n

Jhonattan Vegas, a Venezuelan golfer who competes on the PGA Tour<\/a>, appeared to react to the events.<\/p>\n

“Long live Venezuela, DAMN IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL,” Vegas wrote on X in a post translated from Spanish.<\/p>\n

Vegas, 41, is ranked No. 85 in the world. He had a historic run at the 2025 PGA Championship<\/a>, becoming the first Venezuelan to take the lead at one of the four major tournaments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vegas finished 8-under par after the first 36 holes, placing him atop the leaderboard at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, in May. He ultimately finished the major in a tie for fifth place.<\/p>\n

Vegas first took an interest in golf when he was just 2 years old.<\/p>\n

“As a kid, I would hit anything that I could find. Rocks, broomstick, everything,” he told reporters after the opening round of last year’s PGA Championship. “I would grab anything that I could swing and I would do it. Feel like I was a good athlete as a young kid, so that\u2019s kind of how things started.<\/p>\n

“We grew up near a nine-hole golf course owned by the oil companies, and we had access to a course and, plus the love of my dad for the game, put it together, and we started playing.”<\/p>\n

Once he reached his teens, Vegas left Venezuela and relocated to the U.S. He learned English and later took his golf talents to the Texas Longhorns.<\/a><\/p>\n

Vegas further cemented his name in history when he won the Bob Hope Classic in 2011, making him the first Venezuelan to win a PGA Tour-sanctioned event. He also represented his native country twice at the Olympics.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Trump described Maduro as being “highly guarded” in a presidential palace that was “a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas.” Maduro had nearly made it to a safe room inside it, Trump told reporters, although “he was unable to close it.”<\/p>\n

In an interview earlier Saturday morning on “Fox & Friends Weekend,”<\/a> Trump said that American forces were armed with “massive blowtorches,” which they would have used to cut through steel walls had Maduro locked himself in the room.<\/p>\n
