Trump has a remarkable record of success at golf, but much of that success comes on his own courses, including at least three other championships at Trump clubs this year alone.
Sportswriter Rick Reilly ― who has golfed with Trump ― has said in the past there’s a reason for that: He cheats.
Reilly told MSNBC last year that Trump cheats “like a mafia accountant” and called his championships “fake as Velveeta cheese.”

“He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly said. “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”
