President Donald Trump commented on his golf game during a conversation with reporters Tuesday, using the opportunity to take a swipe at former President Joe Biden following a viral video that showed Trump delivering a long drive off the tee, as reported by Fox News.

“Did you get to see my drive on the first hole? Pretty long, pretty long,” Trump said. “That's no Joe Biden, let me tell you. That's not Biden, right? That was a good drive.”

President Donald Trump delivered a special commencement address to the University of Alabama graduates on May 1, 2025.

The moment added another layer to an ongoing exchange between the two political figures over personal fitness, with Trump frequently referencing golf as a benchmark.

During their first 2024 debate in Atlanta on June 27, Trump brought up his past wins at two club championships to contrast with Biden’s performance and physical condition.

“He couldn't drive a ball 50 yards,” Trump said during that debate, drawing attention to what he characterized as Biden’s lack of physical ability.

The topic resurfaced again in August when Trump was seen on a golf range with professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau and golf content creator Travis Miller. Trump hit a drive and turned to the group with a jab: “You think Joe Biden can do that?”

Trump also took aim at Biden’s past claim that he carries a six handicap. “He said he’s a six. I said, ‘You’re not a 60.’ He’s not a 60,” Trump added. “So I said, ‘I’ll give you a million dollars if you can break 100.’ If you’re a six, you can break 100 easily. But he can’t.”
