   ‘Shameless’: Trump’s Big Golf Boast Backfires Amid Renewed Cheating Claims   
      
   The White House bragged that the president won yet another tournament. His   
   critics aren’t buying it.

   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.   
      
   “Winning on and off the course,” 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 men’s senior championship at his Bedminster club.

   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 Trump’s 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.   
      
   “Tomorrow is the Senior Champ at Bedminster,” he wrote on X. “Are you   
   shameless enough to pretend you won it? Even after the whole planet saw you   
   cheat in Scotland? Is your ego that sick?”

   After Trump won, he wrote in a follow-up: “Guess we got our answer. What a   
   child.”   
      
   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.   
      
   “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are   
   rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top   
   half,” he said on MSNBC last year.   
      
   Others who’ve played with the president have also accused him of cheating,   
   including boxer Oscar De La Hoya, who once explained in detail some of   
   Trump’s tricks.   
      
   Rock icon and golf enthusiast Alice Cooper didn’t quite come out and call   
   Trump a cheater.   
      
   But he came close.   
      
   “The worst celebrity golf cheat? I wish I could tell you that,” he told Q   
   magazine in 2012. “It would be a shocker. I played golf with Donald Trump   
   one time. That’s all I’m going to say.”
