By all accounts, winning more than 40 club golf titles would be an incredibly impressive, not to mention commendable, feat. But what about if you’re Donald Trump?

The US president has bragged repeatedly about his trophy-winning talents around the golf course, most recently shooting a supposed 70 around the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster to take home yet another championship.

Admitting he had “very little time to practice” due to being focused on many other things, unlike the rest of the field, the 80-year-old declared: “It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!”

Whether he has it, though, is a question that routinely follows the president around golf courses. Trump has been regularly accused of being a cheat, with an ex-caddie now revealing the exact nature of just how true that is.

Donald Trump’s Love Story With Golf

Releasing a book back in 2005 which featured advice from different golf professionals and teachers, Trump described golf as “more than a game. It is a passion” for both himself and millions of people around the world.

He’s still found time for that passion, even as the most powerful man in the world. The sight of him hitting the golf course has proven to be a regular thing in his two terms as President of the United States, routinely playing alongside different celebrities, from UFC stars such as Bo Nickal through to footballers including England captain Harry Kane.

Trump owns a number of golf courses, having steadily built a portfolio of them as a real estate developer over the years. He opened the first in 1999 in Florida and has seen them play host to a number of PGA and LPGA events. This includes courses in Scotland, the UAE, Puerto Rico and Indonesia, as well as the USA. He also claims to be something of a virtuoso around them, allegedly winning over 40 championships, all of them at his own courses.

Rick Reilly’s book, Commander In Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, runs through the cheating accusations levelled at the president in depth, including his nickname of ‘Pele’ as he allegedly “kicks his ball back onto the fairway.”

Interviewing Trump back in 2000, Reilly was told by him that he’d already won 12 championships. He referred to Trump’s boasting about these victories as “a lie that’s so over-the-top Crazytown it loses all credibility among golfers the second it’s out of his mouth.”

That number has seemingly grown substantially since then, with Reilly shedding some light on just how he’s managed to pull it off.

There is also video evidence of this in practice. Footage re-shared to social media recently shows Trump pulling up to a bunker in a buggy, flanked by two caddies, one of which uses the natural back and forth of his arms as he walks to drop a golf ball behind him without breaking stride.

While the clip does not show if Trump actually plays the dropped ball, it does look as if the president is about to set himself for the shot from there.

“So now I have the Championship Cheat Chart at 40 wins,” continued Reilly. “Though an onlooker at Bedminster taking a video of the awards said that by his count, Trump is up to 43.”

Many were left shocked and saddened after the death of Hayden Panettiere, but one reaction from the world of wrestling has caused a stir.

A former child star, who appeared as Claire Bennet in the television show Heroes and Kirby Reed in the Scream horror movie franchise, Panettiere died aged 36 after being found unresponsive in an apartment.

Tributes poured in from across the world of entertainment and beyond, including from her former fiancee and father of her daughter, heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko, who said “nothing will erase the times we shared or the place she had in our lives.”

It’s the words of another, however, that have been gaining traction in social media circles, with WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu raising eyebrows with his reaction.

Jacob Fatu’s Wrestling Career

Fatu signed for WWE in 2024 and has quickly established himself as a star, building on a record-making 819-day run as Major League Wrestling’s (MLW) world heavyweight champion.

The 34-year-old has been wrestling professionally since 2012 and performed under a number of organisations, including All Pro Wrestling, DEFY Wrestling, Game Changer Wrestling, House of Glory, and PCW Ultra. It was at MLW, however, where he really started to make a name for himself.

That success saw him earn a move to WWE, joining Solo Sikoa, his real life cousin, in The Bloodline, before establishing himself as a star by winning the WWE Tag Team Championship and WWE United States Championship.

He was in action at SummerSlam, performing on night 1, back with The Bloodline, alongside The Usos, actually coming up against Solo Sikoa, Royce Keys, and LA Knight in a six-man tag team match. They lost, however, with Fatu being Powerbombed by Keys.

The Seven Words From Fatu Causing a Stir

After TMZ posted about Hayden Panettiere’s passing, Fatu reposted it, writing: “THE TRUTH WILL COME TO THE LIGHT!!”

At the time of writing, the post has amassed over 2,300 retweets and more than 29,000 likes. It has been viewed 3.1 million times. It’s unclear exactly what Fatu meant with the post, but that did not stop fans from flocking to his replies to express their disapproval.

One wrote, “lol be careful homie. Remember who you work for”, while another urged Fatu to “please delete this bro.”

One user pleaded with Fatu to “get off social media, man PLEASE”, while @MomsProllyMad encouraged him to “let WWE social media team run your accounts, you gonna have some cocktails and say something stupid, and wind up in aew.”

Sheffield United are at serious risk of being given a 12-point deduction, according to reports.

On Saturday, the Blades opened up their 2026/27 Championship campaign with a goalless draw against Birmingham City. The South Yorkshire club are hoping to secure promotion back to the Premier League after a dismal 25/26 campaign.

However, their chances of securing a return to the top-flight of English football could take a huge blow in the near future with the threat of a heavy points deduction looming over them.

Sheffield United’s Former Owner Takes Current Owners to Court

In December 2024, COH Sports, an American consortium led by businessmen Steven Rosen and Helmy Eltoukhy, purchased Sheffield United from Prince Abdullah.

Last month, Abdullah claimed that he was still owed £35m as part of the deal and issued a winding-up petition against the consortium. The hearing will take place on Wednesday, August 19.

According to Sky Sports, if the owners are declared to be insolvent, a 12-point deduction could be imposed on the club. Co-owner Rosen could be banned from his role should the hearing not go in his favour as he is believed to have been involved in an insolvency event before.

A source close to Sheffield United’s current owners said:

“Sheffield United is financially healthy, unlike under Prince Abdullah when the Club incurred a points deduction for missing payments to football creditors.

“Nonetheless, Helmy Eltoukhy and Steven Rosen invited Abdullah to re-invest in the Club and join the ownership of Sheffield United and to help use his skills to support our promotion efforts. Helmy and Steve are focused on the sustainability of the club and the season ahead.”

United World said in a statement:

“We understand that the EFL and the Independent Football Regulator (the IFR) are aware of this situation but so far, we are not aware of any intervention by either.

“United World has issued this public statement in the hope that it is possible to avoid the potential consequences the Club may face if this is not resolved before 19 August, after which we shall have no control over those consequences.”

Sheffield United are next in action on Saturday, August 22, when they travel to South Wales to take on Swansea City. AI has backed them to finish in the playoffs come the end of the season.
