Harry Kane Played Golf With Trump 18 Months Ago

Kane’s Unexpected Golf Meeting

England captain Harry Kane revealed he shared a round of golf with President Donald Trump roughly 18 months back while visiting Palm Beach. “It was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him,” Kane said, recalling the invitation. He praised Trump’s skill, noting, “His golf is pretty good. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I am his age.”

World Cup Pressure and Golden Boot Race

Kane is currently in World Cup action, slated to face Norway on Saturday in a match that could secure England’s place in the tournament’s semi‑finals. His six goals so far keep him within striking distance of the Golden Boot leaders, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, who each have eight. The stakes are high not only for knockout qualification but also for personal accolade.

Trump’s Surprise Praise for England

England’s victory at the Azteca against Mexico over the weekend caught Trump’s eye, prompting him to commend Kane’s performance on social media. Although the President has admitted he is not a avid soccer fan, he acknowledged Kane’s talent with the ball. The compliments come on top of Kane’s earlier revelation about their golf outing, adding an unusual diplomatic flavor to the tournament.

U.S. Connections and Future Possibilities

Beyond golf, Kane has cultivated ties in the United States, forging a rapport with Tom Brady that underscores his growing brand overseas. The England captain’s ability to mingle with high‑profile figures could prove valuable as he seeks to expand his global fanbase. Should the World Cup draw to a close, Kane hinted that another round with Trump might be in order, keeping the door open for more cross‑sport diplomacy.
