Donald Trump caught committing shocking act during golf game and it’s not the first time he’s been accused of it

It's no secret that the US president is a big golf fan, but recently, he's been hit with a number of cheating accusations

Donald Trump has reportedly been caught doing something he shouldn't have during a golf game on Saturday (2 August) - and it wouldn't be the first time he's faced these accusations.

The 79-year-old American president is known for his love of the sport and even has his own courses located in different places around the world.

Since his second term began in January, Trump has even allegedly so far spent almost a fifth of his days on the green, according to Trump Golf Track.

However, not everyone is convinced that the Republican leader is playing by the rules as more and more videos appear to be popping up on social media that reportedly show him 'cheating'.

And now, another onlooker has shared suspicious video that they said was taken on Saturday as Trump took part in the 2025 Men’s Senior Club Championship and ultimately won.

After the game, the White House Instagram page shared a picture of the scorecard to announce his victory, writing in the caption: "Winning on and off the course."

The details revealed that he shot a gross 69 net 67 to win the competition, which took place at his Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, in New Jersey.

But one social media user has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share a behind the scenes clip, that appeared to show a caddy dropping a golf ball onto the green for him.

They wrote alongside the video: "Another caddy caught dropping a golf ball for Trump. This time it was at Bedminster. This footage is from Saturday, the day the White House announced Trump won the 2025 Men’s Senior Club Championship.”

However, it's not been confirmed whether this was filmed during the actual competition or not, and while some people have slammed him in the replies, others have rushed to his defence.

One user wrote: "Perfectly legal on the green where players will mark the spot where the ball came to rest - usually with a coin. Then hit the next shot from there."

Take a look for yourself and see what you make of it:

All the times Trump has been accused of cheating at golf

As we mentioned earlier, whether he was actually cheating or not, this is not the first time the president has faced such accusations.

Just over a week ago during Trump's trip to Scotland, a similar video emerged.

Similarly to the new one, it showed two of his caddies walking in front of his golf cart when one appears to drop a ball on the course.

Then, Trump gets gets out of his cart and walks and makes his way towards the ball, seemingly as if it were his original shot.

Like the new clip, this clip was also shared by Twitter account PatriotTakes, which describes itself as 'exposing right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy'.

And it seems the accusations are even coming from celebrities, after Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson got a dig in at Trump's golfing techniques.

Back in 2016, in an interview with Rhapsody Magazine, he explained that the duo had played together.

When asked who was better at golf, he brutally replied: "Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat."

Jackson also said: "We clearly saw him hit a ball into a lake at Trump National [Golf Course], and his caddie told him he found it… he just took off running and next thing we know he says ‘I got it Mr. Trump!"

Meanwhile, former Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly told Deadline White House: "I’ve always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy.

"And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat."

He added: "And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a 'give me chip-in.' I’ve never even heard of a give me chip-in."

How has Trump responded to the golf cheating allegations?’

Trump has always denied the ongoing allegations and even responded directly to Jackson's claim against him.

He wrote on social media at the time: "I don’t know @SamuelLJackson, to best of my knowledge haven't played golf w/him & think he does too many TV commercials—boring. Not a fan."

The president later added: "I don’t cheat at golf but @SamuelLJackson cheats - with his game he has no choice - and stop doing commercials!" followed by "Don’t like @SamuelLJackson’s golf swing. Not athletic. I’ve won many club championships. Play him for charity!"

However, neither Trump nor the White House have responded to the renewed 'cheating' allegations yet as the new videos are circulating.

Tyla has contacted the White House for comment.
