Wealthy donor lent Gov. Ron DeSantis pricey golf simulator and private flights, raising ethics concerns

A major donor provided Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis an expensive golf simulator for the governor's mansion and private flights.
The donor, a homebuilder who chairs the University of Florida's board of trustees, has given DeSantis over $400,000.
DeSantis did not disclose the golf simulator as a gift and took 12 private flights from the donor.
The gifts raise ethical questions as DeSantis considers a 2024 presidential run and has signed laws shielding his travel from public records.
Close ties between DeSantis and wealthy donors have drawn scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest.
