Reviewing Trump’s Dubious Golf Victories

Many express disbelief at the notion of President Donald Trump, at 80, claiming two trophies at his Bedminster course in New Jersey. He states he ‘won’ both the senior and super senior titles with a score 10 strokes below his age. These achievements sound as improbable as making a lengthy field goal in unsuitable gear.

Tracking Trump’s Golf Claims

Over 26 years, Trump’s golf boasts have consistently raised eyebrows. His talent isn’t in his swing but in the audacity of his claims. In 2000, Trump mentioned having won 12 club championships while playing at Trump National. A 7 handicap wouldn’t normally win such titles. Trump’s explanation? Whenever he acquires a new course, he plays the inaugural round solo and declares it a championship.

Increasing Numbers

By 2013, Trump claimed 18 club championships, posting online about his most recent ‘victory’ while ridiculing Mark Cuban’s golf skills. Investigations found no proof of new titles. Trump sometimes simply played elsewhere, called in a score, or decided he always beat other known winners.

By 2024, Trump’s tally reached 26 titles. These boasts are reminiscent of a top athlete’s record, although no credible witnesses confirmed them. One title was ‘won’ while attending a funeral in North Carolina, another during a meeting in Singapore with Kim Jong Un.

Unbelievable Achievements

In 2025, Trump claimed 36 club championships. This dramatic increase suggests he might have found creative ways to conjure new titles. On Thanksgiving Day, he mentioned winning 38 championships. Remarkably, these wins were not publicly recorded by his clubs, nor previously acknowledged by Trump.

Recently, Trump announced a score of 2-under 70 at Bedminster. This performance is questioned, as few can confirm it, and it’s an achievement that pleases any skilled golfer. According to an ex-caddy, Trump’s victories are manufactured, with caddies helping ensure his success by manipulating in-game scenarios.

The Continuing Tally

With the recent Bedminster event, Trump’s supposed championship count stands at 40, though another observer claims it’s 43. This count may increase significantly soon. Trump’s outstanding claim of making history in amateur golf circles continues to draw both skepticism and humor.
