Hollywood icon Samuel L. Jackson once publicly acc.used Donald Trump of che.ating at golf after the former U.S. president denied ever having played a round with the celebrated actor.

Despite Trump’s passion for the sport—evidenced by his ownership of 12 golf courses across the United States—his supposed game with Jackson became a point of contention.

Trump has often expressed his love for golf, once telling Today’s Golfer: “I often get asked why did I get involved in golf. Well, I have friends that are very successful people and they love to garden. And I like to garden too – just in a much bigger way.”

However, whether Jackson counts himself among Trump’s golf companions is debatable. In a 2016 interview with Rhapsody magazine, the actor claimed that he had received a bill from Trump’s National Golf Club despite not being a member. He dismissed any notion of being close to Trump, clarifying, “I would never say buddies. Or friends. I’ve golfed with him.”

When asked who was the better player, Jackson confidently responded, “Oh, I am, for sure. I don’t che.at.”

Trump, however, quickly denied Jackson’s claims, taking to Twitter—now known as X—to dispute the story.
“I don’t know @SamuelLJackson, to best of my knowledge haven’t played golf w/him & think he does too many TV commercials—boring. Not a fan.”

In response, Jackson fired back in a way only he could: by posting the very bill he had received from Trump’s golf club on Instagram. “A bill from the guy that doesn’t know me & never golfed with me,” he wrote. “I’m gonna block his a** too!”

The dispute didn’t end there. Jackson later addressed the controversy on The Late Show with Seth Meyers, where he doubled down on his claims that Trump was not only a frequent golfing partner but also a known cheater.

“I’ve met him a lot,” Jackson told Meyers. “We clearly saw him hook a ball into a lake at Trump National in Jersey. And his caddy told him, ‘We found it.’”

Meyers, amused by the accusation, jokingly asked, “Was the caddie soaking wet when he said this?”

Jackson laughed before continuing, “No, he was not. He just took off running, and the next thing you know—’I got it, Mr. Trump!’”

Jackson further revealed that Trump had personally invited him to play golf on multiple occasions and even referred to himself in the third person as “The Don.”

The amusing yet heated exchange between the actor and the former president added yet another memorable moment to Trump’s long history of golf-related controversies.
