President Donald Trump continued to poke fun at former President Joe Biden’s golf game during a Thanksgiving call with military members.
One of the petty officers on the call with Trump at the White House asked the 47th president what his “true golf handicap” was, while also asking this:
“Are you and President Biden going to play that golf match?” the petty officer said.

For context, Trump initially took shots at Biden’s golf game during their June 27, 2024, presidential debate in Atlanta. A couple of weeks later, Trump challenged Biden to a golf match, saying he would give $1 million to charity if he lost.
Trump’s response to the petty officer was one of confidence, as he quickly said he would “love” to face off against Biden on the links.
“I mean, I’ve invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up,” Trump said.

“Look, I know a lot about golf. I’ve won 38 club championships, and I don’t get to practice much. I won one last year. I won a club championship at a big club, beating a 27-year-old kid. I said, you know, I’m decades older than you, but I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are as you walk up the middle and he’s in the rough.’ I’ve been a good golfer over the years.”
Trump added that he is a “very low handicap,” though he didn’t give a definitive number.
“I guess I’m very — I got to be right around scratch or better. I beat a plus-three. That’s three better, three below par. If you look at it for those that don’t know, in the finals of the club championship last year, with all I was going through and with no practice. So, I’m a good golfer.”

Since their infamous 2024 debate, Trump has taken more shots at Biden’s golf game, including a moment while on a driving range with LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and YouTuber Travis Miller. After hitting a drive, Trump joked, “You think Joe Biden can do that?”
Trump has also mocked Biden’s claim that he is a six handicap.
“He said he’s a six. I said, ‘You’re not a 60.’ He’s not a 60,” Trump said then. “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.”
This past July, Trump also took a jab at Biden’s game when a video of a drive during a round went viral.
“Did you get to see my drive on the first hole? Pretty long, pretty long. That’s no Joe Biden, let me tell you. That’s not Biden, right? That was a good drive,” Trump said.

Trump finished his statement to the petty officer on Thanksgiving with a similar shot at Biden.
“You have a lot of people talk, but they can’t play like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards. I’m telling you, I looked at his swing. He cannot hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said. “He said he was a six handicapper. That was the only thing that made me angry. During the debate with him, he said he was a six. I said, you’re not a six. And he said, well, I’m an eight. I said, that was quick. I picked up two, but he’s not 100. He’s not 100. But it’s a great game, and I hope you guys get to play a little bit of it.”

Twenty men have been charged in a point-shaving scheme involving more than 39 college basketball players on more than 17 NCAA Division I teams, leading to more than 29 games being fixed, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Fifteen of the defendants played college basketball during the 2023-24 and/or 2024-25 seasons, according to the indictment. Some have played this season. Two of the players named in the indictment, Cedquavious Hunter and Dyquavian Short, were sanctioned in November by the NCAA for fixing New Orleans games.
At least two of the defendants, Shane Hennen and Marves Fairley, were also charged in a federal indictment in the Eastern District of New York centered on gambling schemes in the NBA.
Former NBA player Antonio Blakeney was named but not charged in the indictment. The indictment describes Blakeney as being “charged elsewhere.”
The scheme, according to the indictment, began around September 2022 and initially was focused on fixing games in the Chinese Basketball Association. The group later targeted college basketball games, offering bribes to college players ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 to compromise games for betting purposes, according to the indictment.
“In placing these wagers on games they had fixed, the defendants defrauded sportsbooks, as well as individual sports bettors, who were all unaware that the defendants had corruptly manipulated the outcome of these games that should have been decided fairly, based on genuine competition and the best efforts of the players,” the indictment said.

USAA on Thursday announced the three finalists for the NFL’s Salute to Service Award, and a dynasty in San Francisco could be on the rise.
After 49ers star George Kittle took home the award last year, Christian McCaffrey is among three finalists for the league’s award, along with Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson and Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones as the finalists — Jones was a finalist last year, as well.
“The finalists for the 15th Annual Salute to Service Award presented by USAA have used their platforms to be exceptional advocates for the military community, reminding us that service doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off,” Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Bob Whittle, Senior Vice President and Head of Military Affairs at USAA, said in a release.

“The NFL and USAA applaud Jake Ferguson, Aaron Jones, and Christian McCaffrey as deserving finalists who have demonstrated exactly what the award stands for — using the power of football to connect with, empower, appreciate and uplift our service members, veterans and their families.”
McCaffrey launched 23 and Troops in 2021 to focus on post-traumatic stress and athlete-level care for veterans. The foundation has raised $700,000 for military support and paid off holiday layaway for 515 military families.

Ferguson has partnered with USAA to visit local military bases and supported the National Medal of Honor Museum, including an event in 2024 in which 900 students joined in person and thousands more virtually.
Jones grew up in a military household. His father, Alvin, served 29 years in the Army, while his mother, Vurgess, served for 27. Jones’ older brother, Xavier, serves in the Air Force. Jones and his twin brother, Alvin Jr., founded the A&A All the Way Foundation in 2020 to support the youth of military families.
The winner will be announced at NFL Honors in San Francisco on Feb. 5, the same night the MVP, Offensive and Defensive Players and Rookies, and Coach of the Year will be crowned.
