Trump Reportedly Hires Private Investigators to “Fish Out” Golf Cheaters in U.S. Tournaments
In a bizarre and unprecedented move, former President Donald Trump has allegedly commissioned a team of private investigators to infiltrate amateur and professional golf tournaments across the United States with one mission: identify and expose players suspected of cheating.**
**PALM BEACH, FL –** Sources close to the Trump Organization have confirmed to this publication that the former president, a golf enthusiast and owner of numerous high-profile courses, has grown increasingly frustrated with what he calls a “rampant epidemic of cheating” in the sport. His solution, reportedly set in motion last month, involves a clandestine operation to root out dishonest players.
The initiative, informally dubbed “Operation Mulligan,” allegedly employs a team of former law enforcement and intelligence personnel. Their methods are said to include posing as spectators, volunteers, and even fellow competitors to closely observe players’ conduct. They are reportedly equipped with long-range cameras and instructed to document any infraction, from improper ball placement and fudged scores to illegal drops and unrecorded penalty strokes.
“President Trump believes the integrity of the game is under attack,” a source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the operation, stated. “He’s tired of seeing guys win club championships, charity events, and even minor pro-ams through blatant dishonesty. He told his team, ‘I want these guys fished out and held accountable.'”
The news has sent shockwaves through the American golf community. While golf’s honor code is a cornerstone of the sport, the idea of a billionaire deploying a “hitman”-like force to police it has been met with a mixture of disbelief and alarm.
“The spirit of the game is that you call penalties on yourself,” said Davis Langley, a PGA professional and tournament director. “This feels less about preserving integrity and more about a personal vendetta or a bizarre form of vigilante justice. Who decides what constitutes a cheat? What due process is there?”
Critics were quick to point out the potential for abuse and the focus on Trump’s own complicated history with golf accusations. For years, observers and fellow players have anonymously accused the former president of taking liberal mulligans, improving his lie, and inflating his handicap.
“This is the ultimate projection,” said ethics watchdog Geraldine Mills. “He’s creating a shadowy enforcement agency to punish in others the very behaviors he’s been consistently accused of. It’s a spectacle designed to position himself as the guardian of a sport he may not even play by the rules.”
The Trump Organization has not released an official statement. However, when reached for comment, a representative offered a terse response: “President Trump is a passionate defender of the great game of golf. He is committed to ensuring fair play for all golfers at every level.”
It remains unclear what will happen to the information gathered by the investigators. Sources suggest that alleged offenders in amateur tournaments may face public shaming or bans from Trump-owned courses, while evidence of cheating in sanctioned professional events would be forwarded to the relevant governing bodies.
For now, golfers across the country may be looking over their shoulders, wondering if the person in the next golf cart is not just a fellow enthusiast, but a spy on a mission from Donald Trump.
