England captain Harry Kane has confirmed that he did indeed play a round of golf with Donald Trump. The encounter took place approximately 18 months ago while the striker was visiting Palm Beach, Florida, near the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate.
Kane spoke about the experience during a press conference ahead of England's World Cup quarter-final match against Norway. He admitted that receiving an invitation from the former president was a unique surprise.
It was a surreal experience. Just to meet him and play golf with him. He plays quite well, to be honest. I hope I can play as well as him when I reach his age. Harry Kane
The story surfaced publicly after Donald Trump mentioned the round following England's victory over Mexico in the Round of 16. Kane expressed gratitude for the invitation, calling it a memorable opportunity.
