You won't believe this, but former President Donald Trump has challenged President Joe Biden to a thrilling 18-hole match!
Apparently these two went back and forth during a debate about who has the better game. Trump claims he's won club championships before, while Biden said his handicap used to be a 6.
Anyway, Trump wasn't here for it. At a rally at his infamous Trump National Doral course, he officially challenged Joe to settle it on the links. And he's putting his money where his mouth is - if Biden can come out on top, a million big ones will go to whatever charity he wants.
"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, one of the great courses of the world," Trump told the enthusiastic crowd. "It will be among the most-watched sporting events in history. Maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters.

However, Trump didn't just propose a friendly round for bragging rights - he upped the stakes by betting $1 million that would go to a charity of Biden's choice. "And I'll bet you he doesn't take the offer," Trump added.
"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."
James Singer, a spokesman for Biden, responded to the challenge by calling out Trump's "weird antics" and stating that the president doesn't have time for such diversion. Singer criticized Trump's prior business dealings and ties to Russia.
"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,"
"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 proposed golf match could be a highly watched event if it occurred at Trump's exclusive Doral resort, which has hosted LIV Golf tournament events. It remains unclear if Biden will accept what would arguably be the highest profile charity golf match between two American presidents.
Bryson DeChambeau has already volunteered to host the showdown on his YouTube channel. I mean, who wouldn't tune in to watch these two?! Trump vs. Biden, $1M on the line - golf has never seen drama like this.
"Let’s settle this whole handicap debate, I’ll host the golf match on my YouTube."
While the golf discussion may never end, Trump's financial proposal adds a fascinating new dimension. Fans will be waiting to see if Biden responds to the billionaire's audacious $1 million gamble.
