Donald Trump shocks golf fans with a jaw-dropping chip shot alongside Brooks Koepka and Wayne Gretzky — and his reaction is pure Trump.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump reminded everyone of his competitive edge once again after pulling off a remarkable golf shot during a weekend round with five-time major champion Brooks Koepka and hockey legend Wayne Gretzky.
The game took place with Trump teaming up with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Koepka, and Gretzky. After finishing the round, Trump posted a video clip on Truth Social that quickly gained attention — it showed him taking a calm practice swing, lining up his shot, and then landing an almost flawless chip that stayed low before rolling straight into the cup. The precision? Undeniable. The crowd’s reaction? “One time!” someone hollered as the ball dropped cleanly into the hole.
Trump captioned the video with his signature bravado: “Winning is always nice!” — a fitting comment from someone who’s never shied away from celebrating his victories.
An enthusiastic golfer for decades, Trump has long insisted that his skills on the course rival those of much younger players. But here’s where it gets controversial — he often uses these moments to take digs at his political rival, President Joe Biden, over their respective golfing abilities.
Just this week, Trump reignited that rivalry when a U.S. military member jokingly asked during a Thanksgiving video call whether he and Biden would ever face off on the course. Trump didn’t hesitate: “I’ve invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up,” he said, adding with his characteristic blunt humor, “He can’t hit the ball 30 yards. I’ve seen his swing. It’s not happening.”
He went even further, recalling a moment from their past debate: “He said he was a six handicap. That actually made me mad. Then he said he was an eight. I told him, ‘That was quick — you just picked up two!’ But honestly, he’s not close to that.”
Trump went on to boast about his own record, saying, “I’ve won 38 club championships — and that’s without much practice. I even won one last year against a 27-year-old kid. I told him, ‘The fairway doesn’t care how old you are, but it knows who’s in the middle and who’s stuck in the rough.’”
Love him or hate him, Trump’s confidence on the golf course continues to fuel both admiration and debate. His knack for blending sport with political commentary makes every outing a headline.
But here’s the question that divides fans and critics alike: Do Trump’s golf achievements genuinely back up his confidence, or are they just part of the showmanship that defines his public persona? What do you think — is this pure talent or classic self-promotion?
