Trump challenges Biden to golf, says he'll donate $1 million to charity if he loses


After the two presidential candidates had a heated argument over their golf handicaps, former President Donald Trump now wants to lead by example.

At his rally at his golf course in Doral, South Florida, the 45th president challenged President Biden to a round of golf, even offering a million dollars to a charity of Biden's choice if he lost.

“I'm also officially challenging Crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here at the Blue Monster in Doral, considered one of the best golf courses in the world, one of the best courses in the world,” Trump said. “It will be one of the most watched sporting events in history. Maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters.

“And I'll even give Joe Biden 10 strokes a game. Ten strokes, that's a lot. That's 20 strokes, in case you don't play golf. And if he wins, I'll give the charity of his choice, any charity of his choice, a million dollars. And I bet he doesn't take me up on the offer.”

The golf discussion, perhaps the most viral moment of the June 27 debate in Atlanta, came after Trump said he won two club championships when talking about fitness, adding that Biden couldn't hit a ball 50 yards.

Biden later claimed that he had lowered his golf handicap to six when he was vice president and later corrected it to eight.

But Trump, a avid golfer, I wasn't buying it.

“That's the biggest lie of all: that he has a handicap of six,” he said. Trump's handicap has been recorded as high as 2.5.

The handicap debate in golf may never be resolved, but reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has offered to help settle it.

“Let's settle this whole handicap debate. I'll be featuring the golf match on my YouTube channel.”
