Donald Trump is an avid golfer who regularly hit the course during his four years as US president.

American golf icon John Daly has revealed how he helps Donald Trump 'chip like Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson' when they get together, while also revealing another former US president was "horrible" on the course and would regularly cheat.

Daly is an ardent supporter of Trump and wants to see the 77-year-old back in office when the next election comes around.


Speaking on Tucker Carlson's channel, Daly even claimed that all American players on the PGA Tour are supporters of Trump.

"I think all of us on the tours want Daddy Trump back because he was a great president," he said.

"He's a great guy once you get to know him. I've known him since the early '90s.

"A large part of that friendship has been built on the golf course, with Daly explaining Trump's weak point of his game.

"I got to work with his chipping a little bit but he hits it good, putts it good," the two-time major champion said.

"We've just got to work on his chipping. I keep telling him to move the ball up [in his stance].

"Everybody thinks when you chip you've got to move it back, you've actually got to move it up a bit.

"If I don't see him for a while, he goes back to that bad habit again.

"When asked what happens when he corrects Trump's chipping, Daly added: "He chips it like Tiger or Phil.

"What I love about him is he plays quick.

"We go out and play golf, we can have an eight-some with him and we're done in three hours. He don't mess around.

"Daly has a close relationship with Trump and plays regularly with the former US president.

He's not the only chief of state Daly has taken to the course with though as the American golfer revealed he also played with Clinton.

Trump has regularly been accused of cheating in golf with a book titled 'Commander in Cheat' with author Rick Reilly alleging the former president "Kicked [his] ball so often the caddies call [him] Pele".

But Daly doesn't mention Trump's alleged cheating, instead naming another US president as someone who would bend the rules.

When asked by Carlson whether Clinton would cheat in golf, Daly replied quickly: "Oh yeah.

"Bill would take the club back and say 'oh s*** give me another ball' before he even hit the first one.

"But he never kept score. I played with him one time... he needs to take up tennis. He's horrible."

Daly also explained that he never got a chance to play with Barack Obama, but that he was a fan of LIV Golf.

"I think it's great. I mean I would have played in it," he added.

"We have to play 15 on the regular tour and I think 11 or 12 on the champions tour.

"Once you do that, then let us go play wherever we want. Golf's a growing game and I'm not gonna sit here and deny it, I got paid a lot of money to go play European events. What's the difference?

"I think LIV looks a lot of fun. I would be perfect. They have concerts, the guys have fun, they can wear shorts and ride around in carts.

"Three days of golf no cut, but LIV has a little bigger purse than we do on the champions tour."
