Watch President Donald Trump’s granddaughter tee off at the Annika Pro-Am
Kai Trump makes his LPGA Tour debut at the Anika Pro-Am.
- President Donald Trump vacationed at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
- President Trump visited a golf course in West Palm Beach on 12 of his 16 days in Florida.
President Donald Trump vacationed at the Winter White House in Florida, hosting his annual New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago and frequenting a nearby golf course.
It is a well-known fact that the president loves golf. Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach is one of more than a dozen golf clubs owned by presidents around the world. During the warmer months, I often visit one of the Northeast courses in Potomac Falls, Virginia, or Bedminster, New Jersey.
How much time did he spend on the Florida greens? Who did he spend it with? Here’s what we know.
How many days did President Trump play golf during his vacation?
According to Poole’s report, President Trump visited his golf course on 12 of the 16 days he was in Florida from Dec. 20, 2025 to Jan. 4, 2026.
However, the pool reporters who accompanied the president on his outings did not always witness his activities while he was at the golf club.
USA TODAY asked the White House for confirmation of his golf activities, but did not receive a response.
Who did President Trump play golf with?
The White House also did not respond to questions about who joined President Trump on the golf course.
However, on December 21, US Ambassador to Ireland Ed Walsh posted a photo from a golf course with Trump, 2025 European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, and others.
Musician Kid Rock, a longtime Trump supporter who performed at the 2024 Republican National Convention, also posted on Instagram about playing golf with the president.
“I recently played golf with your favorite president again and he played me a live version of James Brown and (Luciano Pavarotti) playing ‘This is a (Man’s) World.’ I can’t believe I’ve never heard this before. It’s unbelievable,” the musician posted on Dec. 29, though it wasn’t clear if the two performed during the holidays.
