Former President Donald Trump missed 12 putts while playing a round of golf alongside Bryson DeChambeau.
The 2024 Republican nominee for president appeared on the professional golfer's popular "Break 50" series, where they raised money for charity.
Trump, 78, and DeChambeau, 30, played a two-person scramble, a common golf game in which "each player plays from the teeing area on each hole, one of the tee shots is selected and all the players play their second shots from within one club length of that location, no closer to the hole, and in the same height of grass in the general area. Play continues in this manner until the ball is holed," according to Golf Genius.
Despite Trump's misses, the pair played well together and finished 22 under par.
After Trump sunk the last shot, DeChambeau threw his arms in the air in excitement. "Let's go!" he said, "That's how we do it. That's how you finish off the round. We shot 22 under, oh my gosh."
The clip was posted to YouTube on July 23 and has amassed more than four million views and counting at the time of publication.
Newsweek reached out to Trump and DeChambeau for comment.
Prior to sharing the video, DeChambeau teased the collaboration on X, formerly Twitter.
"Break 50 with @realDonaldTrump dropping tomorrow on my YouTube channel!" he wrote. "On this special episode, we will be donating $10,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project for every stroke we score under par. Stay tuned."
He clarified in a separate message that the event was nonpolitical, though Trump was wearing a Make America Great Again hat and a Trump 2024 shirt in the video.
"To be clear, this is about golf and giving back to our nation's veterans, not politics. A few weeks ago I reached out to both parties' presidential campaigns and @realDonaldTrump was down for the challenge," DeChambeau wrote on X. "It is an incredible honor to be able to enjoy a round of golf with any sitting or former president, and all have an open invitation to join me for a round of Break 50 anytime."
Since the video was posted, DeChambeau has tipped over one million subscribers on YouTube.
In a message written underneath the YouTube video, he thanked Trump for his appearance, saying it was an "honor to play a round with the former president and raise a ton of money for the Wounded Warrior Project."
The note was later edited to confirm that the golf round took place prior to the attempted assassination of the former president at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
During the July 13 rally, a gunman, later identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire on the crowd from a roof approximately 450 feet away, killing one rally attendee and wounding two others. Crooks was killed by the Secret Service.
Secret Service director Kim Cheatle resigned from her position on Tuesday following a congressional hearing regarding the assassination attempt and alleged security failures at the event.
"Edit: To confirm and clear any speculation, the Break 50 video with President Trump was filmed during the first week of July, before I traveled overseas and prior to the incident that occurred in Butler, PA," DeChambeau said.
