PGA Tour star Sam Burns has disclosed that he once enjoyed a round of golf with US President Donald Trump, revealing two words that perfectly summed up his experience of playing alongside him.

Trump is now nearing two years into his second spell as President of the United States, with his passion for golf remaining one of his most recognisable interests. The president is an avid golfer who regularly spends time on the course whenever his schedule allows.

His enthusiasm for the sport has also attracted criticism, with opponents frequently questioning how much time he dedicates to golfing compared to his responsibilities in the White House.

Away from playing, Trump has an extensive portfolio of golf properties around the world. His collection includes 11 courses in the United States, three in Scotland, one in Ireland, one in the United Arab Emirates, and three more across Asia and the Middle East.

Donald Trump Claims Golf Competition Victory

One of Trump's recent golfing achievements came at a venue he owns, where he secured victory in the Bedminster Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.

After celebrating his success, the president shared a message on social media, writing: "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 practice, because I'm focused on many other things. It's called TALENT, and I have it, and they don't!"

However, his reported score of 70 did little to silence scepticism among golf supporters, with some questioning the legitimacy of his performance and how good the US President actually is. One critic commented: "Watched him live for years, listened to his caddies stories. Everyone around him allows him to cheat out of fear. Nothing he does is genuine. All his 'feats' are fake, and he actually feels special."

Video footage from the tournament also prompted further debate online, as viewers questioned what they believed were unusual movements of the golf ball. One social media user responded: "Lol 100% that golf ball is remote controlled! Those bounces are not normal."

Another viewer offered a similarly sceptical reaction, suggesting: "That ball had a string :) or front brakes."

Although allegations surrounding Trump's conduct on the golf course continue to circulate, he regularly shares rounds with well-known personalities, celebrity golfers, and professional golfers. Despite the online criticism, none of those playing partners have publicly accused him of cheating during their games.

Sam Burns Shares His Experience of Playing Golf With Donald Trump

PGA Tour professional Sam Burns is among the golfers who have had the opportunity to play alongside Trump, and the American previously discussed what it was like spending time on the course with the president, who is now 80 years old.

According to Burns, Trump is "brutally honest" when playing golf, offering an insight into his personality that contrasts with some of the negative allegations made about his behaviour during competitions.

Speaking about their experience together, Burns explained: "People ask, 'What's he like?' He's exactly how you'd think he would be. He's exactly what you see on TV: brutally honest. He's very open; you can pretty much ask him anything.

Burns also spoke about Trump's enthusiasm for the sport and the entertaining conversations they shared during their round.

"And he loves golf. He has some really funny stories, so it's pretty cool to listen to. I asked him some stuff. I wasn't sure if he would answer or not, but he did.

"On any hole, there's close to 20 carts. If you're paying attention and looking, you'll see snipers, Secret Service everywhere. It's funny, [because] I don't know if this is the safest place or the most dangerous place in the world to be. I think it's kind of both at the same time."
