Donald Trump recently played at the LIV Golf tour’s Pro-am tournament where he was paired with his son, Eric, along with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. Sources suggest that Trump has a handicap of 2.8 precisely. And it means he has the potential to exercise his golfing skills at 2.8 strokes over par as per his best scores yet. And as of now, his handicap index shows a 70, which means he is capable of going way low.

No matter what the fans believe, if we were to listen to golf experts themselves, Trump is a phenomenal golfer. According to golf legend, Jack Nicklaus, Donald Trump is the best player among all the presidents he had ever played with. Similarly, Bryson DeChambeau also said, “He’s actually a really good golfer,”. Even Trump called himself a great golfer once while talking to Jaime Diaz from Golf Digest. However, fans find it hard to believe that Trump has the skills when it comes to performing on the golf course.
