Harry Kane Confirms 'Surreal' Palm Beach Golf Round With President Trump

Kane's on‑the‑record confirmation underscores the crossover between high‑profile politics and World Cup coverage.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump publicly said earlier this week that he had played golf with Kane and praised him, and Kane confirmed the encounter at a Miami press conference on Friday.
  • Kane said the round took place about 18 months ago in Palm Beach, described the meeting as a "pretty surreal experience," and called Trump's golf game "pretty good."
  • Reports identify the likely venue as Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and say Kane accepted the invitation while he was in the area.
  • The anecdote has run alongside other Trump‑related World Cup news, including reports that Trump contacted FIFA president Gianni Infantino over Folarin Balogun's suspension, which FIFA later altered to a suspended sentence.
  • Kane has shifted focus back to England's quarter‑final with Norway, where he enters the match with six World Cup goals and remains a leading figure in the team's bid to reach the semi‑finals.
