Trump’s Dubious Golf Claims Continue to Raise Eyebrows

President Donald Trump has made headlines once again with his unapologetically impressive, yet suspicious, golf achievements. At 80 years old, Trump claims to have shot a 70 at Bedminster, securing both the senior and super senior titles. This feat involves scoring 10 strokes below his age, a rare accomplishment in the golfing world. Skeptics question the legitimacy of his claims.

Trump’s Golf Record Over the Years

Trump’s history of self-reported golf victories is long. Back in 2000, he made the bold statement of having won 12 club championships. However, observations suggest a less stellar golf performance. His strategy? Play the first round alone at any newly acquired course and declare himself the champion. Many find this approach exceedingly clever.

By 2013, Trump’s proclaimed victories increased to 18. His critics doubted these additional wins, as they lacked objective verification. Despite this, Trump’s ownership of the courses allows him to bend rules without much opposition.

Unverifiable Wins Rise to 40

As of 2024, Trump’s declared wins reached 26. His achievements lack credible witnesses, yet the count keeps rising. He has been noted for winning championships even while being physically absent, attending events or funerals in other states or countries.

Trump further astonished followers by claiming 36 titles in August 2025. This sudden surge in wins led to speculation about clandestine events or even fictional tournaments. The trend continued with a Thanksgiving announcement of 38 titles. These claims remain unverified, with Trump bemoaning his imaginary lost potential due to limited practice time.

The Latest Bedminster Triumph

Recently, Trump posted about a remarkable 2-under 70 score at Bedminster. However, this performance raised more doubt than admiration. His method seems to involve proactive caddies smoothing his path, ensuring optimal performance. Former caddies have indicated their role in ensuring Trump’s victories by meticulously managing his play environment.

Unofficial counts place Trump’s wins at around 40 or 43. Observers speculate he may continue to augment this number, with predictions jokingly suggesting achievements on the level of major tournaments like the Masters. Despite the skepticism, Trump sustains his reputation as an unparalleled golf champion in his self-contained golfing universe.
