Amidst the recent debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, which involved a heated conversation around golf, one of the fans on social media mentioned Tiger Woods’ handicap in reaction to Joe Biden’s claims of having a 6 handicap.
According to the statistics from the USGA, only around 20.15% of male golfers in the US have a single-digit handicap. The fan tweeted a video of Joe Biden fumbling while speaking and wrote that Joe Biden cannot have a 6 handicap, and wrote (via X):
BTW, Tiger Woods is a 6.5 handicap. There’s no way in hell Biden is a 6 handicap.

“BTW, Tiger Woods is a 6.5 handicap. There’s no way in hell Biden is a 6 handicap. This is not a 6 handicap in golf.”
There were plenty of reactions to this tweet, with several fans expressing their surprise at Joe Biden’s claim of being a 6 handicapper.
“I didn’t think we were supposed to draw attention to Biden’s handicap,” a fan wrote.
One of the fans also pointed out that Tiger Woods’ handicap is +6.5, not just 6.5, and wrote,
“Tiger is +6.5. Joes claim is that he is a -6, which still he is not. A lot of non golfers on here aren’t realizing + means under par. Meaning you are giving strokes to others in a handicapped match. – would apply to the number most people refer to. They get strokes,” they said.”I confirmed that he is fact a 6 handicap with the Wilmington Riverwalk Miniature golf course. How dare we question his honesty,” posted one fan.”Biden is certainly handicapped. I’ll say my dad was at a 5 handicap for most of his golf career, but by the time he was 80 he could barely break 100. No way Biden is a 6. Tiger is likely +6.5 handicap meaning he has to add 6.5 strokes, not subtract,” wrote one person.”Maybe Biden’s 6 handicap is from a par 3 course with senior tees,” quoted one fan.
