Trump mocks Biden's golf skills, offers $1 million challenge

In probably the most anticipated golf showdown since Tiger Woods challenged Phil Mickelson to that $9 million head-to-head bonanza, former President Donald Trump continued his long running feud with Joe Biden by publicly challenging Joe to a round for big cash.

Speaking to a rowdy crowd in Minnesota, Trump rehashed the infamous presidential debate moment where Biden claimed to be a "six handicap". We all remember Trump's retort - "I've seen your swing. I know your swing." The golf world collectively shuddered at the mental image.

Anyways, Saturday Night saw Trump resurrecting the saga. "He said he was a six during the debate, then immediately he said he was an eight. I said if we keep going at this pace then you'll be a 100" joked the former Commander in Chief to laughter and cheers.

But then Trump got serious, revealing he actually texted Biden directly to challenge him to 18 holes for a cool mill. "Joe Biden challenged me to a round of golf. Then I said, I'll give you 10 strokes a side... I'll give you one million dollars if you could beat me," claimed Trump.

Sadly for fans everywhere who would pay big bucks for the PPV broadcast, Biden allegedly chickened out of the high stakes duel. According to Trump, "He had no chance."

Trump has often questioned Biden's mental and physical fitness during campaign rallies over the past year. On Saturday, he also took aim at Biden's running mate Kamala Harris, saying "We have a man that can't put two sentences together, and now we are replacing him with worse than he is."

Could this be the end of what promised to be the most epic golf grudge match in history? Only time will tell if Joe will summon the courage to accept next time and give us the showdown we deserve! One thing is for sure - Trump isn't letting this rivalry die anytime soon.
