President Trump arrives at Trump International Golf Club on Friday
President Trump is spending his weekend at his Mar-a-Lago home and Trump International Golf Club on April 4, 2024.
Donald Trump’s golf outings this weekend occurred during a time of national and international crises, including a stock market crash.
Donald Trump played three rounds of golf this past weekend and claimed another club championship, even with global markets plummeting after announcing his tariffs.
Trump capped his long golf outing, which included dinner with LIV Tour golfers Thursday night at Trump National Doral Golf Club, and playing at his Trump International Golf Club in suburban West Palm Beach. He also played in the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, where he was declared the winner.
The action-packed visit to South Florida started Thursday afternoon, April 3, when he arrived at Miami International Airport, then went to his Doral golf course and resort to host LIV golfers for dinner. The Saudi-backed LIV Golf League was playing its first event of the season in the U.S. The tournament was Friday through Sunday.
Trump plays on his golf courses in West Palm Beach and Jupiter
Trump flew from Miami to Palm Beach International Airport on Thursday night, then played golf Friday at his golf Trump International golf course, the closest of his properties to his Mar-a-Lago home.
Saturday and Sunday were spent on his course in Jupiter.
During his trip back to Washington on Sunday, Trump was asked by reporters how the tournament went.
“Very good, because I won,” he said aboard Air Force One. “It’s good to win. You heard I won, right? Did you hear I won? I like to win.”
What’s Trump’s golf handicap?
Trump was then asked to reveal his handicap.
“Very low,” he said. “I have a very low handicap.”
Not surprising considering this was his eighth golf outing to his courses in Palm Beach County since starting his second term as president less than three months ago.
Trump now has claimed to have won four championships this year, including teaming with Finnish President Alexander Stubb to win the Men’s Member-Guest tournament last weekend at his course near West Palm Beach.
“I just played a round of Golf with Alexander Stubb, President of Finland. He is a very good player and we won the Men’s Member-Guest Golf Tournament at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach County, with the Legendary Gary Player, Senator Lindsey Graham, and former Congressman and highly successful Television Host, Trey Gowdy,” Trump wrote on social media.
WATCH: President Trump arrives via helicopter at Trump National Doral
President Trump arrived at his golf course in Doral, Florida in a helicopter before being guided to his place of stay by secret service.
Last month, while boasting about winning the Club Championship at his course outside of West Palm Beach, the 78-year-old Trump added it would “probably” be his last.
Since then, he’s said he has won two more titles.
