Following a heated discussion about their golf handicaps, former President Donald Trump is ready to “walk the walk.” During a rally at his Doral course in South Florida, Trump challenged President Joe Biden to an 18-hole golf match, offering $1 million to a charity of Biden’s choice if he were to lose.
“I’m also officially challenging Crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here on Doral’s Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world,” Trump declared. “It will be among the most-watched sporting events in history. Maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters.”
“And I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes a side. Ten strokes, that’s a lot. That means 20 strokes, in case you don’t play golf. And if he wins, I will give the charity of his choice, any charity of his choice, $1 million. And I’ll bet you he doesn’t take the offer.” report from Fox News.
Biden’s spokesperson, James Singer, responded sharply.
“Donald Trump hasn’t been seen in public for 12 days, now he’s inviting fictional serial killers to dinner, teasing lil’ Marco Rubio, praising Project 2025 architect Tom Homan, and challenging the President of the United States to golf,” Singer said.
“We’d challenge Donald Trump to create jobs, but he lost 3 million. We’d challenge Donald Trump to stand up to Putin, but he bent the knee to him. We’d challenge Donald Trump to follow the law, but he breaks it. We’d challenge Donald Trump to not destroy our country, but that’s all his Project 2025 aims to do.”
“Joe Biden doesn’t have time for Donald Trump’s weird antics – he’s busy leading America and defending the free world. Donald Trump is a liar, a convict, and a fraud only out for himself – par for the course.”
The golf discussion, one of the most viral moments of their June 27th debate in Atlanta, began when Trump boasted about winning two club championships while discussing fitness, claiming Biden couldn’t drive a ball 50 yards. Biden then claimed his golf handicap was a six as vice president, later correcting it to an eight. Trump, an avid golfer with a handicap recorded as low as 2.5, wasn’t convinced. told by The Hill.
“That’s the biggest lie — that he’s a six handicap — of all,” Trump retorted.
Though the debate over their golf handicaps remains unresolved, reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau offered to help settle it.
Trump owns several golf courses, including Doral, which has hosted the LIV championship, and Bedminster, another course involved in the Saudi-backed tour.
