During a golf outing at his resort in Scotland, U.S. President Donald Trump was accompanied by an armored Polaris Ranger X, nicknamed Golf Force One.

The vehicle, modified to withstand gunfire, is part of the presidential security fleet and was created after two assassination attempts against Trump, one on a golf course in Florida and another at a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite the presence of the armored vehicle, Trump continued his habit of driving a regular golf cart alone, while Secret Service agents monitored the perimeter.

The armored UTV, which can cost up to $190,000 with ballistic protection kits, was developed to respond to threats in open areas, such as golf courses, where security is harder to manage. Companies like Scaletta Armor and MacGyver Solutions specialize in this type of modification, but the Secret Service has not confirmed who provided the armor. Experts explain that the level of protection varies depending on the risk, which can include anything from bulletproof glass to heavier armor against high-caliber rifles.

The appearance of Golf Force One highlights the challenges of protecting Trump, who frequents golf courses with little cover and often interacts with the public without strict security measures. In addition to the recent attacks, the former president has also been the target of indirect threats from Iran, including a symbolic post of a drone targeting a golfer after the death of General Soleimani.

Given Trump’s fondness for the sport, the armored vehicle is likely to become a regular presence at his golf games.
