England captain Harry Kane confirmed on August 8 that he played golf with former U.S. President Donald Trump in February 2025 in Palm Beach, Florida, describing the experience as "pretty surreal" [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Kane said Trump’s golf game is "pretty good," adding, "I hope I can play golf as good as him when I'm his age, that's for sure" [1]. At 32 years old, Kane recalled, "When the president invites you somewhere... it was a unique experience" and that he was glad for the invitation [1, 5, 6]. Former President Trump, aged 80, praised Kane as "a great player" and "a good golfer," saying, "I like him a lot" [1, 5].
Kane has been a key figure for England at the 2026 World Cup held in North America. As of their last-16 win over Mexico on August 7, he has scored six goals and provided one assist in the tournament [1, 6]. England defeated Mexico 3-2 to advance to the quarter-finals, where they are set to face Norway in Miami later on August 8 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
In addition to speaking about the golf experience, Kane mentioned that former England captain David Beckham has been supporting the team ahead of their quarter-final match [5]. Kane’s international career boasts 85 goals in 119 games, solidifying his role as one of England’s top scorers [6].
England’s focus now turns to the quarter-final against Norway, scheduled for today in Miami, as they pursue a place in the World Cup semi-finals [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].
