English soccer superstar Harry Kane recently found himself in a unique foursome — trading his soccer boots for golf shoes and joining President Donald Trump for a round of golf.
For most golfers, the dream scenario is simple: tee it up with your favorite athlete, celebrity or legendary player. But what if the person in the cart next to you wasn’t just famous — but one of the most controversial figures on the planet?
That’s the debate Kane’s round with Trump creates:
Would you spend four hours playing golf with Donald Trump?
Forget politics for a moment. Forget your personal opinions. You’re on a golf course. Eighteen holes. No cameras. No pressure. Just you, your playing partners and a long afternoon walking fairways.
Would you take the opportunity?
Or would you choose someone else?
Maybe Russian President Vladimir Putin — a leader whose image has been built around strength, secrecy and power. Or North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, another global figure who rarely gives the world a glimpse into his personal life.
The golf course has always been a place where unlikely conversations happen. Presidents have used the game as a way to build relationships, make deals and escape the spotlight. The famous “golf diplomacy” idea has connected politicians, business leaders and celebrities for decades.
But there’s something different about sitting across from a world leader who is also one of the most polarizing people alive.
What would you even talk about?
- Golf strategy?
- World events?
- Sports?
Would you avoid certain topics entirely?
And what if they were terrible golfers? Would you give them advice? Would you celebrate a birdie? Would you tell them their swing needs work?
That’s the strange power of golf. For four hours, everyone is technically just another player trying to hit a little white ball into a hole.
So here’s the question:
If you had a guaranteed tee time with one of them, who would you choose: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un?
And maybe the bigger question:
Who would you absolutely refuse to share a golf cart with?
