South African golfing legend Ernie Els has made headlines after being seen playing a round of golf with former United States president Donald Trump.

'The Big Easy' posted a picture on his social media channels of himself, Trump and a few golf buddies posing on a hole at the famous Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The players in question were senior professional golfers Gene Sauers, Ken Duke and Mike Goodes.

According to Sport24, Els wrote:

"Great shot on Saturday 45! Fun to watch the ball roll in for a hole-in-one."

The New York Post reported that Trump was chuffed with his shot, adding

"Many people are asking, so I'll give it to you now, it is 100% true. I hit a 5-iron, which sailed magnificently into a rather strong wind, with approximately 5 feet of cut, whereupon it bounced twice and then went clank, into the hole."

Trump is an avid golfer who owns several courses, and is estimated to have played golf 298 times during his four year term as US President. This was a source of constant criticism during his presidency.

He has also been accused of being a "cheat" by Golf.com. Furthermore, he's often been criticised for offensive remarks and maintains that widespread voter fraud was behind his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidency.
