Even Hall of Fame athletes are baffled by President Donald Trump’s golf game.
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre has been seen golfing with Trump since August 2020 and spoke about his experience playing with Trump in a post on X Monday.
“For those who ask who won in golf between me and [Trump] — let’s just say that President Trump is REALLY GOOD and a competitor,” Favre wrote.

When Trump and Favre played golf in 2020, Trump praised the former quarterback’s golf skills.
“Brett LOVES Wisconsin, Mississippi and Minnesota. A good golfer – he hits LONG!” Trump wrote on X, then known as Twitter.
The duo played at Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on July 25, 2020.

“He was as kind and engaging as he could be, considering the kind of stress he’s under,” Favre said in an interview with Pak Gazette at the time. “But I will say this: I respect the office of president of the United States, regardless of who is in office. If Barack Obama, George Bush, Bill Clinton, anyone of my era, had asked me to play golf, I would certainly have taken advantage the opportunity, simply because no matter what you believe in, just being asked is an honor.
At the time, Favre added that he was “very impressed” with Trump’s golf game.

“We had a couple of holes where we got better, no scores were made, but for the most part, he can play,” Favre said. “He hits the ball really well, and I’ll tell you this too, he’s a fast golfer. There were times when I hit a 140-yard shot and he was up there on the green with his putter, ready to play.”
Trump has also played golf with Tom Brady, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Johnny Damon.
