People who have shared a golf course with Donald Trump have revealed what he's really like to play against.

Trump, 80, is the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America and is now nearly two years into his second spell in office.

Away from running one of the biggest countries on the planet, Trump is a keen golfer and owns a number of golf courses across the country. Trump has also shared a golf course with some big names, including Tiger Woods, Samuel L. Jackson, Wayne Rooney, and Oscar De La Hoya.

Previously, PGA Tour star Sam Burns revealed that Trump is "brutally honest" when playing golf. He explained: "People ask, 'What's he like?' He's exactly how you'd think he would be. He's exactly what you see on TV: brutally honest. He's very open; you can pretty much ask him anything.”

How Does Donald Trump Gain an Advantage on the Golf Course?

Back in 2023, speaking to Pokergo (via The Express) about his experience playing golf with Trump, poker superstar Daniel Weinmann stated that the US president may have used ‘ball manipulation’ as a tactic.

He explained: “Golfing with Trump was one of the most interesting experiences of my life for sure.

“There was, you know, some slight and moderate bending of the rules. Probably my favourite was we had six people in our group. Everyone was a scratch golfer. Trump is not a bad golfer, I would say he probably has a high, single-digit handicap.

“On the first hole we played, we all teed off and by the time we all got up to the bridleway, he was 80 yards ahead of everybody. So we think there was a caddy, in the fairway, who may have done some ball manipulation.”

Meanwhile, broadcaster Mike Tirico told the New York Post about how Trump’s caddy spoke about an alleged foul of the rules.

Tirico said: “Trump’s caddy came up to me and said, 'You know that shot you hit on the par 5?. It was about 10 feet from the hole. Trump threw it in the bunker. I watched him do it’.”

Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, once told Grant Horvat’s YouTube Channel about her grandfather’s antics on the golf course, stating that he was trying to get into her head.

Kai said: “I play with him so often. One time I was not on his team and I had to make this eight-foot birdie putt to win and he's trying to get in my head like standing right over me, standing next to me.”

Boxing legend De La Hoya, as reported by GOLF, has also previously spoken about playing golf with Trump.

He explained: “First ball. Trump hits off to the water, gets another ball from his pocket. Hits it off to the left, out of bounds. Trump said, ‘Oh, I got another one, just warming up.’

"Another one to the water. Then the fourth ball he hits, I know it went to the bushes. But Donald, what he does, he tees off first so he can take off right away. I pipe mine down the middle. So we go off to our ball, and who do we see? Donald Trump, right in the middle of the fairway.”
