Donald Trump's caddy made staggering claim about him to fellow golfer amid 'cheating' allegations

Donald Trump has been accused of cheating on a frequent basis when playing golf, with his caddy said to have made an observation.

Donald Trump's caddy reportedly made a shock claim about what he saw the President do on the golf course - fuelling rumours that he cheats when playing.

The 78-year-old is a golf fanatic and has a total of 16 courses - including 12 in the United States. Although he is busy running the US and bringing in controversial tariffs, it was reported that Trump spent 18 of his first 69 days in his second term in office on one of his golf courses and racked up a bill of more than $26 million for US taxpayers.

Many have hailed Trump's abilities on the golf course, including a host of PGA players.

However Trump has faced frequent accusations that he cheats and bends the rules when golfing - including from Samuel. L. Jackson and Oscar De La Hoya.

He memorably announced he 'won' a 2023 tournament even though he missed half of it due to attending a funeral 600 miles away and reportedly demanded his score from the Thursday session to count as his first round score.

Rick Reilly, a former Sports Illustrated columnist, has regularly recounted tales of Trump cheating, even writing a book titled: 'Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump'.

Reilly, who has played against the 47th president on a number of occasions, gone on record to say Trump "has to win" and "will do anything to cheat".

He also claimed that 90% of people he has spoken to say that Trump "openly cheats" and has no shame about it.

And one story in particular from the book pertains to his caddy, allegedly exposing Trump's antics.

Trump's alleged cheating antics were exposed by his caddy

On one occasion, Trump is said to have hosted Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski - all being personalities when it comes to American football.

He teamed up with Gruden and at one point on the green Tirico hit a shot so impressive that his caddy was stunned and said, "Oh my god!” before high fiving him.

Yet while it looked like he was close to the hole, his ball ended up 50 feet left in the bunker in inexplicable fashion and it took him two attempts to get out of it.

Trump called it a "Lousy break" but according to Tirico, a 12.3 handicap, Trump's caddy made a quite outrageous admission.

He explained: “Afterwards Trump’s caddy came up to me and said, ‘You know that shot you hit on the par 5? It was about 10 feet from the hole. Trump threw it into the bunker. I watched him do it.’”

Tirico didn't even question it and proceeded to pay up without any complaints even though he had been wronged.
