Overview
- Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday saying he shot a 70 to win both the Senior and Super Senior titles at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
- Video circulated showing him receiving trophies and standing by the clubhouse leaderboard, and Trump also posted a clip he called the “winning shot.”
- Short viral clips quickly drew accusations that he improved a lie or that a caddie placed a ball for him, but multiple outlets say those clips have not been independently verified.
- At least one club member defended Trump’s ability, while reporters reminded readers that a 2025 White House‑posted scorecard claimed a 69 that year and that handicap adjustments have previously narrowed reported margins.
- The episode fits a long pattern of self‑reported victories and public disputes over his play, which fuels scrutiny of the president’s golfing record and could further shape public perception given how often he plays and publicizes rounds.
