Sportswriter Rick Reilly said his accusation that President Donald Trump cheats at golf was just confirmed from an unexpected source ― and under oath, too.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was asked in a 2022 grand jury interview if Trump cheats at golf, according to documents obtained this week by The New York Times.

“Some people say you may outdrive him, but you’re not going to outdrive his caddy,” Graham said. “It is what it is.”
Reilly was quick to highlight that quote on X as proof:
Graham’s comment would seem to confirm one of Reilly’s descriptions of Trump’s tactics.
Reilly ― who has golfed with Trump and wrote an entire book about how he cheats ― said in a 2024 interview that the president “always gets a turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast as yours, so he’s always 200 yards ahead, and that gives him time to cheat.”

Trump moves his ball into better positions and his opponents’ balls into the bunkers before they arrive, Reilly said.
“One time in L.A., he was playing $50 a hole with these three guys, he hits it in the pond. They see the splash,” Reilly said. “By the time they get there, it’s in the middle of the fairway, and they’re like, ‘What the F, Donald?’ And he goes, ‘It must’ve been the tide.’”

Reilly has also said it’s widely known among golfers that Trump cheats.
“In golf, he’s definitely not exonerated,” Reilly told the Associated Press in 2019. “There’s been dozens and dozens of people that can declare him guilty of cheating.”

Trump’s golf habits came under examination last year when a viral video showed what some observers said looked a lot like cheating.
Trump has faced scrutiny over golf for other reasons, too: the cost.
His hobby cost taxpayers more than $150 million during his first term in office, and more than $70 million so far during his second.
