President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he won a championship at one of his golf clubs, though he acknowledged it might be his final victory. “I just won the Golf Club Championship, probably my last, at Trump International Golf Club, in Palm Beach County, Florida,” the 78-year-old president wrote on Truth Social. “Such a great honor! The Awards dinner is tonight, at the Club.
I want to thank the wonderful Golf Staff, and all of the many fantastic golfers, that participated in the event. Such fun!” Trump has long been known for his love of golf, often hosting tournaments at his own courses. His claim of victory, however, comes amid continued scrutiny over his history of playing the sport, particularly accusations of bending the rules.

Renowned sportswriter and author Rick Reilly has previously alleged that Trump frequently cheats in golf, a claim that has been widely discussed in the sports world. “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,'” Reilly told MSNBC last year.
Trump’s reported golfing habits have been the subject of jokes and criticism over the years, with some questioning the legitimacy of his numerous club championships. Despite the controversy, he continues to embrace the sport, often using it as a networking tool and a retreat from the political spotlight.
The championship win adds to Trump’s long history of claiming victories at his own golf properties, where he frequently competes. Critics argue that his frequent wins at Trump-branded courses raise questions about fairness, but supporters see it as a testament to his competitive spirit.

While Trump expressed gratitude for the tournament and those involved, his comments also hinted at a possible end to his championship-winning days. At 78, he may be signaling a reduced focus on competitive golf, though he remains an avid player.
As Trump prepares for potential future political battles, his golfing achievements—whether contested or celebrated—continue to be a notable part of his public persona. For now, his latest victory at Trump International Golf Club adds another chapter to his well-documented love for the sport.
