Donald Trump caught 'cheating' at golf on visit to UK as footage of caddie helping US President goes viral

Donald Trump has regularly been accused of cheating when he plays golf and clips from his trip to Scotland appear to back up the claims.

Donald Trump has regularly been accused of cheating whenever playing golf and fresh clips from his trip to Scotland appear to expose his antics.

Trump is an avid golf player, stating that it brings "tremendous value" for him - and his frequent trips across his two terms as President of the United States have cost taxpayers a fortune.

The 79-year-old owns 15 golf courses worldwide, including 11 in the US and three in the United Kingdom, where he has travelled to for a four-day visit which includes an important meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Unhappy with the windmills nearby, Trump has been playing at his Turnberry course in South Ayrshire with son Eric, as well as US Ambassador Warren Stephens and his son, as per the BBC.

Over the years there have been a flurry of claims that Trump creates his own rules on the fairway, even winning a 2023 tournament even though he missed half of it after reportedly asking for his score from a previous day to count.

And clips emerging from his recent round only add to the suggestions. In one video shared by @NUCLRGOLF and with 1.1 million views, a caddie appears to drop a ball for Trump before his next shot.

Another clip looks to show no ball being present before one suddenly appears and Trump hits a shot straight into the bunker.

Why does Donald Trump 'cheat' at golf?

In a 2019 book titled 'Commander in Cheat', former longtime Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly wrote about Trump's golf exploits and during an appearance on Deadline White House to promote it, said Trump "has to win and he will do anything to cheat" having spent time playing with him.

Actor Samuel. L. Jackson and former boxer Oscar De La Hoya have shared stories of their experiences playing with him, while a caddy reportedly admitted to seeing Trump move a ball into the bunker.

Mike Tirico played with Trump alongside Jon Gruden but was stunned when one of his impressive shots ended up 50 feet left in the bunker and Trump called it a "lousy break".

He revealed: "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.’”

Mark Mulvoy, the former managing editor of Sports Illustrated, played a round with Trump at the Garden City Golf Club in Long Island, New York City and also accused him of cheating.

After a storm forced them to take a break after tee shots were played, he claimed to spot that Trump's ball was 10 feet away from the pin when he didn't not see it there beforehand and fumed: "Donald, give me a f***ing break. You've been hacking away in the weeds all day. You do not lie there."

He claimed Trump replied: "The guys I play with cheat all the time. I have to cheat just to keep up with them."

Trump later went on to deny that he had ever met Mulvoy and played down cheating accusations by stating, "I don't drop balls, I don't move balls - I don't need to."
