The White House over the weekend bragged that President Donald Trump won
yet another golf tournament just as a new video emerged that some say shows him cheating.

oWinning on and off the course,o the White House wrote on X, along with an image of a scorecard showing Trump shot a 69 (67 after adjusting for his handicap) to win the menAs senior championship at his Bedminster club. Advertisement

But the claim comes as Trump faces renewed accusations of cheating at the game, with many critics pointing to a video of him in Scotland last week in which the caddie casually dropped the ball for him.

The day before TrumpAs latest tournament, sportswriter Rick Reilly - who
has golfed with Trump and authored an entire book detailing how he cheats
at the game - wondered aloud if the president would dare to declare himself the winner.

oTomorrow is the Senior Champ at Bedminster,o he wrote on X. oAre you shameless enough to pretend you won it? Even after the whole planet saw you cheat in Scotland? Is your ego that sick?o

After Trump won, he wrote in a follow-up: oGuess we got our answer. What a child.o

After another new video surfaced showing a caddie dropping the ball for
Trump - this time in Bedminster, possibly from the day of the tournament - Reilly added:

So you know, it's NEVER legal for your caddy to drop a ball. YOU can
drop one, but never on a green. And since this was a full-score event, its
not legal for Trump to drag the ball into the hole. No, no, never.
Our president is a f*cking golf cheat. https://t.co/zd39cv78XM

Reilly has previously pointed out that Trump only wins on the courses he
owns, as more evidence that he cheats.

oHeAs played in Pebble Beach, heAs played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, heAs never finished in the top half,o he said on MSNBC last year.

Others whoAve played with the president have also accused him of cheating, including boxer Oscar De La Hoya, who once explained in detail some of
TrumpAs tricks.

Rock icon and golf enthusiast Alice Cooper didnAt quite come out and call Trump a cheater.

But he came close.

oThe worst celebrity golf cheat? I wish I could tell you that,o he told Q magazine in 2012. oIt would be a shocker. I played golf with Donald Trump
one time. ThatAs all IAm going to say.o
