Who was the guest that played Golf with the POTUS?

On January 18, 2020, the POTUS spend 4-hours on the golf course playing golf with some unknown guests. With the Senate trial starting up next week, the impeachment cloud is over his head, and the public deserves to know who he played golf with. The POTUS currently has a 95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party, but his approval rating according to gallup from January 20, 2017, to the present is 40%+. So the guest list from today's round of golf is embargoed. So who was the guest? We will never know unless the White House releases the names.
