President Donald Trump continued to mock former President Joe Biden’s golf game during a Thanksgiving call with members of the military.
One of the petty officers on the call with Trump at the White House asked the 47th president what his “real golf handicap” was, while also asking:
“Are you and President Biden going to play this golf match?” » said the master.

For context, Trump initially took photos of Biden’s golf game during their June 27, 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta. A few weeks later, Trump challenged Biden to a golf match, saying he would donate $1 million to charity if he lost.
Trump’s response to the master was one of confidence, as he quickly declared that he would “love” to face Biden on the links.
“I mean, I invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up,” Trump said.
TRUMP MOCKS BIDEN’S GOLF GAME AFTER VIRAL VIDEO OF PRESIDENT’S CONDUCT
“Look, I know a lot about golf. I’ve won 38 club championships and I don’t practice much. I won one last year. I won a club championship at a big club, beating a 27-year-old kid. I said, you know, I’m decades older than you, but I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are when you walk down the middle and it’s in the rough.’ I’ve been a good golfer over the years.”
Trump added that he had a “very low disability”, although he did not give a definitive number.
“I guess I’m very… I must be about scratch or better. I beat a plus-three. That’s three better, three under par. If you look at it for those who don’t know, in the final of the club championship last year, with everything I’ve been through and no practice. So, I’m a good golfer.”

Since their infamous 2024 debate, Trump has taken more photos of Biden’s golf game, including a moment on a driving range with LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and YouTuber Travis Miller. After riding in the car, Trump joked, “Do you think Joe Biden can do that?”
Trump also mocked Biden’s claim that he has a handicap of six.
“He said he was six. I said, ‘You’re not 60.’ He’s not 60,” Trump said at the time. “So I said, ‘I’ll give you a million dollars if you can get over 100.’ If you’re a six, you can easily go over 100. But he can’t.”
Last July, Trump also criticized Biden’s game when a video of a car ride during a round went viral.
“Did you see my drive on the first hole? Pretty long, pretty long. That’s not Joe Biden, let me tell you. That’s not Biden, right? That was a good drive,” Trump said.

Trump ended his Thanksgiving statement to the master with a similar shot at Biden.
“A lot of people talk, but they can’t play like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards. I tell you, I watched his swing. He can’t hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said. “He said he had a handicap of six. That’s the only thing that made me angry. In the debate with him, he said he had a handicap of six. I said, you’re not a six. And he said, well, I’m an eight. I said, that was fast. I took two, but he’s not 100. He’s not 100. But he’s a great game, and I hope you can play it a little.”
