Donald Trump, Joe Biden Made Very Different Golf Decision originally appeared on The Spun.
The office of the President of the United States has been held by either Donald Trump or Joe Biden for the past 10 years.
Donald Trump, of course, was President of the United States from 2017-20. He topped Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Joe Biden then defeated Trump in 2020, taking office in January of 2021. But Trump returned to the office, defeating Kamala Harris in 2024.
While Donald Trump and Joe Biden have both been President of the United States, they have made very different decisions when it comes to golfing.
President Trump has been critical in the past of politicians hitting the golf course, but he’s done it a lot since taking office. President Biden, meanwhile, acted differently with his travel habits.

Since taking office in January, President Trump has made 35 different trips to his golf courses in Florida, Virginia and New Jersey. President Biden would take a lot of trips to Delaware, but he rarely played golf.
“Trump’s pace of early travel largely mirrors Biden’s, but with more sports events and golf,” the AP writes.
From the report:
When Trump hits the road, it’s most often to his properties for weekend trips built around golf in Palm Beach, Florida; Bedminster, New Jersey; or Sterling, Virginia, near Washington’s Dulles International Airport and close enough to motorcade from the White House.
The president has logged 14 Florida trips, 13 to Virginia and eight to New Jersey. After summer arrived, he has favored Bedminster or day trips to Sterling over steamy Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Biden headed to his home in Wilmington, Delaware, many weekends early in his term. He sometimes went to a golf club, but attended Mass nearly every weekend.
The two prominent U.S. Presidents have taken very different approaches to travel, that’s for sure.
