England captain Harry Kane confirmed on July 10 in Miami that he once played golf with former U.S. President Donald Trump. The round took place about 18 months ago in Palm Beach, Florida. Kane described the experience as "surreal" and praised Trump's golfing skills, saying, "I played all right, to be honest," and expressing gratitude for the invitation.

Earlier this week, Trump told reporters he had played golf with Kane, calling the England striker a great player and a good golfer. Trump also complimented Kane on his Truth Social platform following England's 3-2 last-16 victory over Mexico, writing: "Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player!!!"

Speaking on the eve of England's World Cup quarter-final match against Norway, Kane said, "He invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach. So yeah, when the president invites you somewhere ... I hope I can play as well as him when I'm his age. So yeah, unique experience and I was just grateful he invited me down to play."

Kane's comments highlight a unique interaction between the football star and the former president amid the ongoing World Cup tournament.
