Following his victory in the Senior and Super Senior Men's Club Championship at his Bedminster golf course in New Jersey, Donald Trump took a swipe at his opponents. The 80-year-old claimed to have achieved a two-under 70, securing his 43rd club championship title across his golf courses. Trump has previously won these titles in 2023 and also secured a Senior Championship victory in 2024, according to the club's PGA Championship page.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, 'I won with a score of 70, and I'm honored, given that I have very little time to practice due to my focus on other matters.' He added, 'It's called talent, and I have it, while they don't.' Trump's golfing abilities have been questioned in the past, with American sports writer Rick Reilly's book 'Commander in Cheat' suggesting that Trump has cheated at golf. Reilly noted that at Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, caddies have nicknamed him 'Pele' due to his alleged habit of kicking his ball back onto the fairway. Trump has denied these allegations. The former US President's latest golfing achievement has sparked controversy, with some questioning the legitimacy of his win.
