The octogenarian United States of America president has emerged as a polarising figure on the golf course, where viral videos showcasing the convicted felon’s fairway prowess have captivated social media.
Trump has claimed to have posted a two-under 70 to win the Senior and Super Senior Men’s Club Championship at his Bedminster golf course in New Jersey. According to the president, this is the 43rd Club Championship he has won across his collection of golf courses.
According to the club’s PGA Championship page, Trump won both titles simultaneously in 2023, as well as recording a sole Senior Championship victory in 2024.
Donald Trump’s Controversial Reaction to Golf Win
On his own social media website, Truth Social, Trump was quick to exult in his own bravado.
“I won with a score of 70, and am so honoured in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practise, because I’m focused on many other things.
“It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!”
Following Trump’s triumphant win, however, editor-in-chief of Media Touch and former attorney Ron Filipkowski posted two videos to his X account which have called his claims into question.
The first is a one-minute montage of 13 seemingly easy putts that any semi-good golf player could sink. No person is expecting Trump to make all 13 shots, but his peculiar way of hitting the ball with his putter has fans asking questions online.
One commenter humorously said: “He’s as good a putter as he is a president. Maybe better!”
The second video Filipkowski posted shows Trump on the fairway, looking to chip the ball onto the green.
After having a few tentative swings, the US president squares up to the ball, keeps his eye firmly locked, swings his club back… before shanking the ball far to the right, compounding his distance from the hole.
As these two videos gain traction on social media, Trump’s claim of hitting a two-under 70 has been cast into serious doubt.
This is, of course, not the first time the president has been accused of cheating in his favourite pastime.
American sports writer Rick Reilly’s book – titled Commander in Cheat – has previously suggested that Trump has been known to blur the lines at golf.
“At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: Pele,” Reilly said in his book.
Trump, however, has denied any allegations of cheating, adhering to his familiar pattern of never admitting a mistake.
Son of Scott Steiner and cousin of WWE Superstar Bron Breakker may have just seen his brief NFL career come to an end.
Brock Rechsteiner is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Rechsteiner, who is more famously known as ‘Big Poppa Pump’ Scott Steiner.
Steiner is not the only famous wrestler in the family, with Rechsteiner also being cousins with current WWE Raw Superstar Bron Breakker.
Brock played wide receiver for the Jacksonville State Gamecocks until 2025 and went unselected in the NFL draft, but the Tennessee Titans picked him up as an undrafted free agent. However, he was later invited to the New Orleans Saints’ rookie minicamp, where he signed as an undrafted rookie in May.
Brock Rechsteiner Hit With Shock NFL Suspension
Unfortunately, his chances of making the team’s 53-man roster for the upcoming season took a blow after he received the news that he would be suspended for the first six games of the campaign.
News of his suspension was announced by the league on the personnel notice for Thursday but no reason was given for the suspension.
According to ESPN Senior NFL insider Adam Schefter, Rechsteiner is eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including games, and his suspension will take effect when rosters are reduced to 53 players. Until now, the 23-year-old has been competing for a spot on the Saints’ roster.
If Brock wasn’t already facing a tough battle to make the cut, news of his suspension may well have brought an end to his NFL dream. If that does end up being the case, though, Rechsteiner has a back-up plan.
Banned NFL Hopeful Plans to Join WWE
The 23-year-old has already expressed interest in following in his family’s footsteps and pursuing a career in the WWE later down the line. He and his brother Brandon even signed a WWE Next In Line (NIL) deal in February 2025.
“I want to pursue football as long as I can, play as long as I can, but once I’m done, I’ll get into wrestling, too,” Rechsteiner said of his future plans via WDSU-TV’s Sharief Ishaq.
Pro Football Talk has reported that news of his suspension ‘could mean the end of his NFL journey’ and his wrestling career may now become a reality a lot sooner than he had planned.
If he were to join WWE, Rechsteiner would be following in the footsteps of some very successful family members. His father is a WWE Hall of Famer, performing alongside Brock’s uncle, Rick, as the Steiner Brothers.
His cousin Bron is also enjoying a strong WWE career. He currently reigns as one half of the World Tag Team Champions alongside his Vision stablemate Austin Theory.
Manchester City have rejected an offer from Barcelona for midfielder Rodri, with the bid believed to be in the region of €45 million, GIVEMESPORT understands.

Manchester City have rejected a bid of around €45 million for midfielder Rodri from Barcelona, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
GIVEMESPORT understands that Manchester City want in the region of €75 million in order to sanction an exit for Rodri, who has been a target for both Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer.
Real Madrid have now withdrawn from negotiations due to the fact that Rodri wants to join Barcelona before the end of the window.
Barcelona have already agreed personal terms with Rodri, and it’s now just about the two clubs coming to an agreement in terms of a transfer fee.
The La Liga giants are set to make a new offer and remain optimistic of being able to secure his signature this summer.
Coventry City have seen a bid rejected by Sheffield United for midfielder Gustavo Hamer in the summer transfer window, GIVEMESPORT understands.
Coventry City are looking to prepare a squad capable of avoiding relegation from the Premier League following their promotion last season.
Frank Lampard’s side have been active in the summer transfer market so far, confirming four permanent additions since the beginning of the window.
Carl Rushworth – Goalkeeper
Aurele Amenda – Defender
Loum Tchaouna – Winger
Frank Onyeka – Midfielder
Coventry remain in the market for new additions, which is no surprise given the upcoming task for the Midlands side.
Lampard’s men will take confidence in the fact that two of the promoted sides from last season managed to remain in the Premier League, so they’ll be more than up for the task.
Coventry see Hamer bid rejected
Coventry City have seen a bid rejected by Sheffield United for Gustavo Hamer, GIVEMESPORT understands.
GMS understands a new offer is expected and that the clubs are not far apart in valuation.
Hamer has been with the Blades since 2023, joining the club from Coventry. A return could be on the cards if Lampard’s side are able to get to Sheffield United’s valuation.
Hamer spent three seasons at Coventry in the Championship, but made the move to Sheffield United after they were promoted to the Premier League.
