Overview

• A black-clad Polaris Ranger XP outfitted with a reinforced windscreen, side panels, doors and tinted bullet-proof windows trailed the president throughout his round at Trump Turnberry.
• Security forces established road checkpoints, streamed in army trucks and positioned snipers to secure the rural Ayrshire course during Trump’s visit.
• These upgrades follow two 2024 attempts on Trump’s life—one at a Pennsylvania rally in July and another at his West Palm Beach golf club in September.
• A Secret Service spokesman declined to discuss specific protective measures, saying details of its methods are withheld for operational security.
• A viral video showing Trump’s caddy dropping his ball into lighter rough has reignited long-standing allegations of his unsportsmanlike conduct on the links.
