But the change in scenery apparently has not slowed down the 79-year-old when it comes to declaring himself a champion.
Trump boasted on his Truth Social website on Sunday, July 13, that he won the member-member championship at Bedminster with partner Tommy Urciuoli.
"In between meetings and phone calls, it was a Great Honor to win the Member-Member Championship, at Trump National, Bedminster (Gross, no strokes), with Tommy Urciuoli as my partner. The Many other competitors were not only great Golfers, but also terrific people!" Trump wrote.
President Donald Trump waves to supporters who gathered across the street from his Trump International Golf Club to celebrate President's Day in West Palm Beach, Florida on February 17, 2025.
Trump has worked diligently on his golf game since starting his second term. In the first 10 weeks since the Jan. 20 inauguration, Trump had at least eight golf outings to his courses in Palm Beach County, Florida.

And his boasts now have become legendary. Trump, who never loses an event at one of his tournaments, once said he won a club championship when he didn't play the first round, crowned himself winner of a Senior Club Championship when nobody saw him play and said he won an event at Bedminster shooting a 67 on a course in which LIV Golf held a tournament and of the 144 rounds, only six LIV golfers shot 67 or lower.
Trump now is claiming five championships this year, including teaming with Finnish President Alexander Stubb to win the Men's Member-Guest tournament in late March at Trump International West Palm Beach. He also was declared the winner at the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter one week later.
In March, while posting he won the Club Championship at Trump International West Palm Beach, Trump added it would "probably" be his last.
He's up to three more claims since then.

Trump was asked about his handicap in March while aboard Air Force One.
"Very low," he said. "I've a very low handicap."
That was after he announced he had won the Senior Club Championship at his course outside of West Palm Beach.
"Very good," when asked how the golf tournament was. "Because I won. It's good to win. You heard I won, right? Did you hear I won? I like to win."
In his 2023 post about carding a 67 at Bedminster, Trump said: "For some reason, I am just a good golfer/athlete − I have won many Club Championships, and it is always a great honor!"

Nvidia's CEO says it has approval to sell its H20 AI computer chips in China
BEIJING (AP) — Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang says the technology giant has won approval from the Trump administration to sell its advanced H20 artificial intelligence computer chips to China. Huang made the comments in a company blog late Monday and also spoke about the coup on China's state-run CGTN television network in remarks shown on X. The White House announced in April that it would restrict sales of Nvidia's H20 chips and AMD's MI308 chips to China. Nvidia said the tighter export controls would cost the company an extra $5.5 billion. Huang and other technology leaders have been lobbying President Donald Trump to reverse the restrictions. They argue that such limits hinder U.S. competition in a leading edge sector in one of the world's largest markets for technology. Sign in to access your portfolio

RFK Jr.: ‘No cuts on Medicaid' in ‘big, beautiful' law
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday refuted the existence of Medicaid cuts due to President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' 'First of all, there's no cuts on Medicaid. There is a — there's a diminishment of the growth rate of Medicaid, which is bankrupting our country. And by the way, the national debt is also a determinant, a social determinant, of health,' Kennedy told Fox Business Network's Larry Kudlow on his show. 'If we're leaving our kids with these giant debts, they can't afford health care. They can't afford good food,' he added. The 'big, beautiful bill' law cuts about $1 trillion from Medicaid, mostly through strict work requirements and reductions to how states can fund their Medicaid programs via provider taxes and state-directed payments. The majority of the cuts will not happen soon, but rural hospitals in particular have said they likely will have to make difficult financial decisions on which services they can afford to hold onto and which may need to be cut. Medicaid is also set to become a central issue in the fight over control of Congress during next year's midterm elections now that the 'big, beautiful bill' is law. Republicans have stated that the Medicaid cuts are required to address waste and fraud in the program, making sure 'able-bodied' adults are not taking advantage of the system.
