Clemens, the former New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox pitcher, posted the scorecard from the round on Instagram, showing Trump trailing behind all three of his playing partners. Donald Trump, 78, shot a 77 during the round, but still came in fourth place. Roger Clemens scored a 76, his son Kacy Clemens, 31, led with a 69, and the club\u2019s director of golf, John O\u2019Leary, recorded a 71. The post came only days after Trump went on Truth Social to demand that Clemens be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, despite long-standing steroid allegations against the pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>Roger Clemens posts golf scorecard with Donald Trump trailing behind<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, August 25, 2025, Roger Clemens shared the scorecard from his round with Donald Trump at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. The image showed the president\u2019s 77 as the lowest score of the four players.In his Instagram post, Clemens wrote: \u201cFor everyone asking about the scorecard! Mr. President didn\u2019t miss a fairway!!\u201d The message appeared to play on Trump\u2019s long reputation for bending golf rules.Sportswriter Rick Reilly described that history in his 2019 book Commander in Cheat, writing: \u201cTrump doesn\u2019t just cheat at golf. He cheats like a three-card Monte dealer. He throws it, boots it, and moves it. He lies about his lies. He fudges and foozles and fluffs. At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: \u2018Pele.\u2019\u201dDonald Trump has also been accused of cheating in rounds with celebrities, including actor Samuel L. Jackson, and videos from his Turnberry course in Scotland last month showed him moving balls on at least two occasions.Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/international-sports\/syko-stu-gofundme-fundraiser-crosses-50000-following-violent-raja-jackson-wrestling-attack\/articleshow\/123521340.cms\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Syko Stu GoFundMe Fundraiser Crosses $50,000 Following Violent Raja Jackson Wrestling Attack<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump defends Roger Clemens in Hall of Fame fight<\/p>\n<p>Before the golf round, Donald Trump had gone on a fiery rant on Truth Social, calling it \u201cstupidity\u201d that Roger Clemens is still not in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Clemens, an 11-time All-Star and seven-time Cy Young Award winner, was named in the 2007 Mitchell Report for alleged steroid use but has always denied the claims and never tested positive.In his post, Donald Trump wrote: \u201cRoger Clemens was easily one of the few Greatest Pitchers of All Time, winning 354 Games, the Cy Young Award seven times (A Record, by a lot!), and played in six World Series, winning two! He was second to Nolan Ryan in most strike-outs, and he should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, NOW!\u201dHe continued: \u201cPeople think he took drugs, but nothing was proven. He never tested positive, and Roger, from the very beginning, totally denies it\u2026 We are not going to let that happen in the case of Roger Clemens. 354 Wins- Put him in NOW.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB legend Roger Clemens reveals Donald Trump\u2019s golf struggles as steroids accusations resurface (Image via Getty) Donald Trump&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98061,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,57017,57016,57013,57018,622,57019,57015,57014,82],"class_list":["post-98060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-clemens-steroid-denial","tag-clemens-trump-golf-outing","tag-donald-trump-golf-struggles","tag-donald-trump-truth-social","tag-golf","tag-golf-scorecard","tag-mlb-steroid-allegations","tag-roger-clemens-hall-of-fame","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
