In the United States, former President Donald Trump has been vocal about his accomplishments in golf, notably claiming to have won 38 championships. On November 27, 2025, Trump expressed grievances about not having enough time to practice golf during a video call with military members, where he also invited President Joe Biden to play a round of golf with him. He remarked that Biden does not respond to the invitation. During the call, Trump asserted his prowess in the sport by highlighting his achievements while implying that Biden is less skilled. Trump's comments about the current president included disparaging remarks about Biden’s claimed golf handicap, and he expressed frustration over perceived discrepancies in Biden’s self-reported golfing abilities. Trump’s retorts included mockingly acknowledging that he won a club championship without much practice and showed confidence in his golfing proficiency through various statements. This public display underscores Trump's ongoing rivalry with Biden, particularly in light of the holiday season when he made these remarks. After the call, a video surfaced on social media where Trump demonstrated his golfing skills by making an impressive chip shot, which went viral. Featuring alongside prominent figures such as Brooks Koepka and Wayne Gretzky, Trump’s golf performance was perceived as a testament to his claims of success in the sport. Discussions surrounding golf often serve as a platform for Trump to not only showcase his competitive nature but also take shots at Biden. By portraying himself as an accomplished golfer, Trump helps maintain his public persona as a formidable figure in the sport, further fueling media interest and public dialogue around both their athleticism and leadership. Trump's remarks have led to increased scrutiny of both his golfing habits and the funds involved that underscore how much taxpayer money was allocated to his golfing expenses during his presidency. The conversations between Trump and Biden serve as a potent symbol of the deepening divides in American politics, with each side using different platforms to assert their narratives and competencies beyond politics, extending into areas like sports, where competition plays a significant role in public perception.
