Donald Trump has won both the club and senior championships at his golf course in New Jersey, carding a 2-under-par score of 70 at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster over the weekend. This marks another addition to his reported tally of over 40 victories across his golf properties.
Footage from the event showed Trump receiving applause in front of the club leaderboard after the round, with a caption confirming his dual trophy win. The course at Bedminster has a par of 72, meaning Trump's reported score placed him two strokes under par for the tournament.
This achievement follows a similar event last year when the White House published a scorecard claiming Trump had finished with a 3-under 69 at the same annual tournament, winning by 10 gross strokes. The consistency of these low scores has drawn skepticism from critics and sports journalists over the years, with some, like sportswriter Rick Reilly, having previously questioned the legitimacy of his wins.
During his trip to New Jersey, Trump was also seen interacting with U.S. troops. However, observers noted that he was still wearing his golf glove while greeting military personnel, a detail that one social media user described as "disrespectful."
Trump, who is an avid golfer, has frequently stated his confidence in his playing abilities, once remarking, "I've played a lot, and I've played well. There are very few people who can beat me in golf."
This golf outing occurred shortly after Trump announced via Truth Social that he had called off planned strikes on Iran, stating the decision was made "subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL" with the Islamic regime. He mentioned that he was "locked and loaded" but halted the attack in hopes of reaching a peace agreement. Reports indicated that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had urged Trump to de-escalate the situation, citing concerns about a wider conflict.
