Donald Trump has made the  incredible claim that he recently beat 21 scratch players in a golf tournament in Florida.

While the 45th president of the United States has long been known as a powerhouse in the golfing circuit for owning several courses across the nation, it comes as no surprise that Trump has played his fair share of rounds.

Speaking in a recent interview, the 78-year-old Trump spoke about winning a club championship against younger players.

‘I mean, I just won the club Championship in Palm Beach, where we have 21 scratch players,’ Trump claimed. ‘I won the seniors. And I played so well in the seniors, I said, ‘Might as well play in the regular and I beat kids.”

‘We had 21 scratch players and I won. You can’t do that easy. A lot of people can’t play in club championships. The club championship is our major and they can’t handle the pressure,’ he continued.

It was met with a mixed reaction on social media, with some golf fans questioning if Trump is as good as he claims.

But the former US President has showcased his skill level with the clubs before and has recently won over some high-profile admirers.

After his recent appearance on the Break 50 web series, none other than LIV Golf star and US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau praised Trump’s iron game.

‘Man, his iron play was great,’ DeChambeau said. ‘I can’t tell you the number of times he stuffed it on the green within 30 feet of regulation.

‘His driver swing is the most repeatable thing I have ever seen. I wish mine was that repeatable. Really, I do.’
