Trump Touts 38 Club Titles on Troops Call as Critics Challenge Claim and Viral Chip Shot Surfaces

The boast revived long-running allegations from sportswriter Rick Reilly and others that his club championships are exaggerated.

Overview

  • During a Thanksgiving call with U.S. service members, President Donald Trump claimed he has won 38 club championships and described himself as a very low handicap near scratch.
  • Trump again taunted Joe Biden’s golf ability, said Biden would not accept a head‑to‑head match, and repeated that Biden “can’t hit a ball 30 yards.”
  • Rick Reilly, author of Commander in Cheat, publicly dismissed Trump’s latest tally and reiterated allegations that his claimed titles at courses he controls lack legitimacy.
  • In the same holiday remarks, Trump announced a National Guard member had died after a Washington, D.C., shooting and labeled the incident a terrorist attack as he criticized Biden’s policies.
  • Trump later posted a Truth Social video sinking a short chip while playing with Brooks Koepka, Wayne Gretzky and Bret Baier, captioning it, “Winning is always nice!”
