England captain Harry Kane has confirmed he joined United States President Donald Trump for a ‘pretty surreal experience’ on the golf course.

Trump revealed earlier in the week that the pair had previously played a round together, telling reporters: ‘I think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He’s a good golfer too. He’s really great.’

England take on Norway in their World Cup quarter-final clash in Miami on Saturday night.

Speaking ahead of the game, Kane confirmed he had joined Trump for a game 18 months ago in Florida and is envious of Trump’s golf game at the age of 80.

‘I played alright to be honest, but 18 months ago he invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach,’ the 32-year-old said.

‘So when the President invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.

‘His golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I’m his age, that’s for sure. A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play.’
