This weekend, former United States President Donald Trump raised quite a few eyebrows when he shockingly declared himself the winner of the seniors’ golf championship at his property in West Palm Beach, Florida, even though he missed half the tournament to attend a funeral over 600 miles away. But as it turns out, this isn’t the first time Trump has cheated to win a championship.
In light of the latest golf championship for Donald Trump, golf author Rick Reilly recounted several times that Trump has claimed victory in a golf event without actually having the best score.
Just FYI… Trump has now won 21 golf "championships" by:
–being the only entrant
–calling in a low score from OOT.
–putting his name on the wall anyway …
… But never by shooting the documented best score.

Guy cheats like a 4-y-o at Monopoly,” Reilly said in a tweet.
It’s certainly a hilarious accusation that coincides with the reports from Trump’s latest cheating incident, and the sports world certainly had plenty to say about it on Twitter.

He has never equalled Kim Jong-il's record of 38-under with 11 holes-in-one on a 7,700-yard course, but at his rate of improvement, I think it's do-able. https://t.co/PPHRaFeK6P

Highly recommend Rick Reilly's book on Trump and golf: Commander in Cheat. Non-stop entertainment, and Reilly's classic style. https://t.co/uhnAzT1KpA

In a very strange way, this is the most important golf story of the last 7+ years.
Let’s talk about his celebrity playing partners who compliment his game. There should be a reckoning.
(Obviously, anyone with a Medal of Freedom should be omitted from the conversation.)

This is not the first time that Reilly has detailed Trump’s golf cheating. He’s played with Trump on the golf course, written articles about it, and even authored a book entitled Commander in Cheat.
It’s safe to say Trump’s actions are notorious at this point.
