Donald Trump, at 80 years old, claims he recently achieved a stunning golf feat by shooting a 70 at his Bedminster course in New Jersey. He also claims to have secured victories in both senior and super senior categories. Some skeptics find this tale hard to swallow, given his known golf abilities.
Trump’s Claim to Championships
The story of Trump’s self-proclaimed club championships began in 2000. During a golf game at Trump National outside New York City, Trump claimed he had won 12 club championships. At that time, his golfing skills did not seem to support such a boast. The key, he revealed, was in playing the first round at every new course he acquired and declaring himself the champion.
By 2013, Trump claimed to have 18 such championships to his name. However, investigations found little evidence to back up these claims. Anecdotes include calling in a win from a distance or declaring victory using alternative measures.
A Growing List of Wins
Trump’s championship tally grew to 26 by 2024. This growth continued despite there being no objective verification from those involved in the events. Some stories include victories despite his absence, such as at a funeral or while overseas with a foreign leader.
The number of wins jumped again when Trump announced it had risen to 36 as of 2025. This increase left observers questioning how these wins occurred, prompting jokes about secret competitions or creatively found trophies.
Recent Claims and Reactions
In a Thanksgiving Day call with soldiers, Trump raised the number to 38. This led to further disbelief, as such results were unreported by the clubs in question. The boast was coupled with a lament about his potential to have won even more.
The most recent event is his claimed performance at Bedminster, shooting a score that appeals to any serious golfer. Critics allege that his caddies ensure his success by altering course conditions favorably. According to an insider, the priority is to help Trump win, regardless of actual play.
While Trump’s count now stands at 40 claims or possibly higher, the controversial nature of these victories begs further scrutiny. Regardless of skepticism, Trump’s role as a figure in amateur golf garners attention, especially considering his age and self-made triumphs.
