Donald Trump’s putting form DIVIDES internet but ex-President still stuns Bryson DeChambeau on the greens
Former President Donald Trump’s putting exploits have divided the Internet, with some saying he’s a “terrific putter” while others claim he struggles on the greens.
Trump’s prowess on the golf course was on full display Tuesday when Bryson DeChambeau posted a YouTube video of himself playing a round of golf with the Republican presidential candidate.
DeChambeau’s latest video series sees him play a round with two players from the red tees (the one closest to the hole) and attempt to achieve a score of 50 under par.
Trump wasn’t exactly perfect with the putter, but he did make the final shot of the video, a putt from about 12 feet from the hole.
Trump hit the ball to the right, where it curled back and went into the hole.

DeChambeau was so excited about the finish that he fell to the green with a final score of -22
DeChambeau was overjoyed with the win and fell to the ground in excitement as the duo finished the round on 22-under-par.
The video was reportedly filmed in early July at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.
Trump, 78, has no bandage on his ear from the failed assassination attempt on July 13, while DeChambeau is still satisfied with his victory at the US Open in late June. He didn’t miss the cut at last week’s Open Championship.
Trump also references his debate with President Joe Biden during the round, meaning the video was recorded after June 27.
During the debate, Biden and Trump sparred over who was the better golfer, with Trump claiming that the 81-year-old Biden “can’t hit a ball 50 yards.”

“I need polls before and after the world officially sees Donald Trump’s victory,” someone said on X.
“There is exactly 0% chance that Donald Trump has ever gone below 80. This is the putting of a guy with serious mental demons on the golf course. I have honestly never seen worse yips in my entire life,” said another golf fan.
“Donald Trump is an insanely good putter, but he has the wildest putting stroke I’ve ever seen,” one user wrote.
“Trump wearing a glove is by far the biggest indictment I’ve ever seen against him. You just can’t f*****g do it,” someone else concluded.
