Kane's Trump Golf Meeting
England's Harry Kane describes golfing with Donald Trump as a 'pretty surreal experience'
England captain Harry Kane has called playing golf with US President Donald Trump a "pretty surreal experience," speaking ahead of England's World Cup quarter-final. East Lothian Courier reported that Kane described the round with the 80-year-old president as memorable, even expressing admiration for Trump's performance on the course.
The comments came as Kane prepared for one of the biggest matches of his international career, giving journalists a rare glimpse into his life off the pitch — and his unlikely connection to the American president.
Kane Opens Up on Golfing Round with Trump
Kane did not hold back when asked about the experience. He called it "pretty surreal" — and it is easy to see why. Not many footballers get to tee off alongside the President of the United States. Barrhead News reported that Kane spoke warmly about the round, noting Trump's ability on the course despite being 80 years old.
It is unclear exactly when the round took place, but Kane's willingness to discuss it publicly suggests it left a strong impression. The England captain is known for keeping a low profile off the pitch, making the admission all the more striking.
Trump's Golf Game Earns Kane's Respect
Kane reportedly expressed genuine admiration for Trump's golf. Playing well at 80 is no small feat. Cumnock Chronicle noted that Kane appeared impressed by the president's performance, suggesting the game was competitive enough to be memorable.
Trump is well known for his love of golf. He owns several courses around the world and has played regularly throughout his life. For Kane, a keen golfer himself, the shared interest likely made the encounter feel more natural — even if the setting was anything but ordinary.
World Cup Focus Returns After Off-Pitch Moment
Despite the buzz around his Trump comments, Kane quickly refocused on the task ahead. England are in the World Cup quarter-finals — a stage the team has reached with high expectations on their shoulders. East Lothian Courier reported that Kane made the remarks in the build-up to the match, keeping spirits light while staying locked in on the football.
Kane has been central to England's campaign, and the quarter-final represents a chance to go further than many recent squads have managed. The golf story may grab headlines, but the captain's eyes are firmly on the prize — a World Cup semi-final spot.
