President Trump's New 3-Word Nickname Is Going Viral
President Trump's New 3-Word Nickname Is Going Viral originally appeared on The Spun. President Trump has a new nickname. The President of the United States is currently in his second term. He took office in January. President Trump has been spending a lot of time out on the golf course, which was certainly the case this weekend. President Trump, 79, played a couple of rounds of golf at his course in Turnberry, Scotland. The course is considered one of the top in the world. Longtime golf star Bryson DeChambeau wants to see it host the British Open soon. But while President Trump certainly likes to play golf, he's faced accusations of cheating out on the course, too. Video of President Trump appearing to "cheat" on the golf course - his caddie is shown giving him a very favorable drop - is going viral on X, formerly known as Twitter. A new three-word nickname for President Trump is now going viral on social media. "Commander in Cheat." Fans are taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to suggest the new nickname. "Commander in Cheat @realDonaldTrump do you do anything honestly?" one fan wrote. "Commander in Cheat," one fan added. "Donald Trump's blatant golf cheating, as captured in the video and chronicled in 'Commander in Cheat,' mirrors his lifelong pattern of deceit, from falsifying scores to undermining democracy, proving he's unfit for any fair game or office," one fan added. "PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE CADDY DROPPING A BALL FOR ME! INVESTIGATE OBAMA AND KAMALA HARRIS INSTEAD! STOP CALLING ME COMMANDER IN CHEAT!" another fan joked. "Lol… commander in cheat. The old nonchalant ball drop. In a nice spot," one fan added. We'll have to wait and see if President Trump chooses to respond to the video of him appearing to bend the rules of golf during his round in Scotland over the weekend.

President Trump 'Warned' About His Golf Course Behavior
President Trump 'Warned' About His Golf Course Behavior originally appeared on The Spun. President Trump has been "warned" by golf fans on social media that his behavior on the course this weekend is not up to par. The President of the United States played a round of golf at Trump Turnberry in Scotland on Saturday. President Trump, 79, played a round of golf with his son, Eric Trump, and a U.S. Ambassador. Trump Turnberry is perhaps the nicest course owned by President Trump. Golf star Bryson DeChambeau wants to see it host a British Open. But while President Trump appeared to play a strong round, he's taking heat on social media for something he did - or rather did not do - on the course. Video from Fox News shows President Trump draining an impressive putt. However, the President of the United States did not pick up his ball. Instead, he simply walked off the green after making the putt. Golf fans are ripping him for not following proper golf etiquette, suggesting that it wouldn't fly at their courses. "Yeah a putt an 8 year old could make and @realDonaldTrump ignores golf etiquette and walks away from the ball in the cup," one fan wrote. "Now show the part before this where his caddie picks up the ball to clean it and places it closer to the hole. Then tell Trump about etiquette and getting his own ball out of the cup," one fan wrote. "Notice Trump doesn't clean his own ball or take his ball out of the cup. You lose continuity if you play like that. He is so out of shape he can barely bend over," one fan added. "I noticed in Scotland today golfing Trump had someone pick his ball out of the cup — either too lazy or too cold," one fan added. "Looks like Trump can't bend over anymore. Caddie cleans ball and replaces, then pulls ball out of cup," one fan added. "I'm a Trump voter and supporter. I'm also a golfer. You get your own ball out of the cup after you putt. That's just golf etiquette 101," one fan added. What do you make of President Trump's golf course behavior?

Johannesburg to host first LIV Golf event in Africa
The LIV Golf series will stage its first tournament in Africa when Steyn City near Johannesburg plays host from March 20-22 next year, the organisers announced on Saturday. They said a multi-year contract had been signed for an annual LIV Golf South Africa tournament in a country which has produced many stars, most notably career Grand Slam winner Gary Player. Major winners Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia are some of the stars in the LIV Golf stable. Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel, former Major champions from South Africa, also compete on the LIV circuit. "It is always special to compete at home, and I am incredibly proud to bring LIV Golf to South Africa for the first time," said Oosthuizen in a statement. Chilean Joaquin Niemann, who has never won a Major, has been the most successful LIV competitor with six titles. The inclusion of South Africa raises to five the number of continents where LIV tournaments will be staged. The tour is financed by the Saudi Arabia-based Public Investment Fund. Unlike traditional 72-hole events staged over four days in the United States, Europe, Australasia and Africa, LIV use one day less, confining tournaments to 54 holes. LIV also differs from tours like the USPGA, where placings are decided by individual scores, as it also has team competitions. "Bringing LIV Golf to South Africa is another significant moment in our journey," said senior LIV Golf official Ross Hallett. "We currently have events in Asia, Europe, Australasia, North America and today we add Africa, marking another exciting opportunity to showcase LIV Golf to a new audience and market." The first event by the breakaway tour -- LIV Golf London -- was staged in 2022 and won by Schwartzel, who had topped the Masters leaderboard 11 years earlier.
