A new analysis reveals that President Donald Trump's passion for golf is imposing a staggering burden on taxpayers, and the bill is skyrocketing. As of late 2025, his frequent visits to private golf resorts are estimated to have cost US taxpayers nearly $71 million (£56 million), and that tab could climb above $300 million (£240 million) by the end of his current term.
Critics warn this sum reflects more than a leisure habit: it is a vivid example of how presidential leisure, private properties, and public funds can collide.
