Trump Renews Golf Challenge to Biden on Thanksgiving Call, Says Rival 'Won’t Show Up'

The president used a holiday call with service members to revive golf jabs that serve as campaign messaging rather than a scheduled event.

Overview

  • During a White House Thanksgiving call, Trump said he invited Joe Biden to a golf match and claimed Biden does not want to participate.
  • Asked about his handicap, Trump touted 38 club championships and described himself as a very low-handicap player near scratch.
  • Trump dismissed Biden’s stated six handicap and said Biden cannot hit a ball 30 yards, continuing a long-running critique of his game.
  • The remarks extend a pattern that began after their June 27, 2024 debate, when Trump publicly proposed a match and offered $1 million to charity if he lost.
  • Trump has repeated similar taunts in other public moments, including a driving-range video with Bryson DeChambeau and comments after a viral clip of a Biden drive.
