Even Hall of Fame athletes are surprised by President Donald Trump’s golf game.
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has been seen playing golf with Trump since August 2020 and spoke about his experience playing with Trump in a Monday X article.
“For those who ask who won golf between me and [Trump] – let’s just say President Trump is REALLY GOOD and a contender,” Favre wrote.

When Trump and Favre played golf in 2020, Trump praised the former quarterback’s golf skills.
“Brett LOVES Wisconsin, Mississippi and Minnesota. A good golfer – he hits LONG!” Trump wrote on X, then known as Twitter.
The duo played at Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey on July 25, 2020.

“He was as nice and engaging as he could be, given the type of stress he’s under,” Favre said in a PK Press Club interview at the time. “But I will say this: I respect the office of president of the United States, whoever is in office. If Barack Obama, George Bush, Bill Clinton, anyone in my day had asked me to play golf, I certainly would have jumped at the chance, simply because, whatever their beliefs, just being asked is an honor.”
At that time, Favre added that he was “very impressed” with Trump’s golf game.

“We had a few holes, no scores scored, but, for the most part, he can play,” Favre said. “He hits the ball really well, and I can also tell you this, he’s a fast golfer. There have been times where I’ve hit a shot 140 yards, and he’s up there on the green with his putter, ready to go.”
Trump has also played golf with Tom Brady, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Johnny Damon.
