According to NBC News, President Trump has not played golf since the September 15th assassination attempt while golfing at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The outlet said he would not golf until after the election, citing security concerns.
An individual familiar with the situation said “Trump was told that federal agents could not ensure his safety to a degree that they were comfortable with if he were to play,” NBC News wrote.

Per NBC News:
The concerns were conveyed in two conversations with Trump since the September incident: one with Ronald Rowe, the acting director of the Secret Service, and the other with officials from the national intelligence director’s office.
The safety issue had been on Trump’s mind.
Trump had asked Rowe during a meeting last month whether it would be safe for him to continue golfing in the wake of the thwarted assassination attempt, and he was told he would need significant additional security given the proximity of some of his courses to public roads, The New York Times reported last month, citing information from three people familiar with their conversation.
Being unable to play golf is a significant change to Trump’s schedule and lifestyle. He has 18 golf properties around the world — including courses in Oman and Dubai — and the sport has been a fixture in his life throughout his three campaigns and his presidency. As president, he spent over 260 days at his various golf properties. It is unclear whether he golfed each time — unlike previous administrations, his White House would typically not say whether he was golfing or whom he was golfing with.
If Trump goes without golfing through Election Day, it will be the longest time he has gone without playing since the pandemic, which kept him off the links for over two months.
“The Secret Service’s acting director advised Donald Trump that golfing without added security measures isn’t safe, Trump campaign officials told @CBSNews,” CBS Evening News wrote.

The security concerns with Trump golfing follow the campaign reportedly requesting military aircraft and vehicles for Trump to use in the final weeks before the election.
According to The Washington Post, the campaign also requested expanded flight restrictions over his residences and rallies.
