Former President Donald J. Trump hit the links with professional LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau, and played way better than expected.

The video of their golf game was recorded before Trump was the victim of a failed assassination attempt, as it aired Tuesday on DeChambeau's Break 50 YouTube series.

The objective of the game was for the 45th President and No. 9 ranked golfer in the world to work together, trying to break a score of 50 on 18 holes.
In view of the format of their game, both would tee off using the most forward tees at one of Trump's courses, but whoever between them had a better shot, they would play it from there. So most would imagine, that all of the balls used would be from DeChambeau's shots, however, Trump played so well they actually used multiple balls from him.
It was for a good cause as DeChambeau announced they will be donating to the Wounded Warrior Project, $10k for birdies and $20k for eagles. That is to say, 78-year-old Trump actually birdied and eagled a few holes all by himself.

"This is pretty impressive, I didn't expect this," DeChambeau said.
They ended up hitting 22 strokes under par, coming close to the goal of breaking the 50-shot mark.

"You think Biden can do that? We had an argument about golf can you believe it?"

To point out, Trump and Joe Biden bragged about being better than each other at golf during their 2024 Presidential debate. With this in mind, the former president officially challenged the current president to a $1 million dollar match for charity. At the time Biden declined, as he said he was busy because of "leading America and defending the free world," so now that it was announced the POTUS was withdrawing from re-election, maybe Biden will have time for a tee-off.
