A round of golf at Palm Beach roughly a year and a half ago brought Harry Kane and President Donald Trump together for the first time. Kane, 32 and England's all-time leading scorer, confirmed the outing Friday, calling it "a pretty surreal experience," and the moment carries renewed context: should England win the World Cup, Trump would present the Jules Rimet Trophy to the squad, raising the prospect of a second meeting. Trump praised Kane as "a GREAT player" on Truth Social after England's 3-2 World Cup win over Mexico on Sunday.

The Palm Beach round

Trump extended the invitation when Kane was in the area. "When the President invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and to play golf with him," Kane said Friday, according to the New York Post. He praised Trump's game directly, telling reporters Trump's golf is "pretty good" and saying he hoped to play as well at the same age. "Unique experience. Grateful he invited me down to play with him," Kane added.

Trump confirmed the tone from his side, telling reporters he played golf with Kane and likes him a lot. He called Kane a good golfer as well. ESPN reported both remarks.

Kane's World Cup numbers

Kane has scored six goals across England's five World Cup games, including Sunday's effort against Mexico. His career tally for England stands at 85 goals in 119 appearances, the national all-time record. That output puts him at the top of every England scoring list and makes him the striker the squad runs through at this tournament.

England vs. Norway: what to watch

England face Norway in the World Cup quarterfinal Saturday at 5 p.m. ET. Norway bring Erling Haaland, who has scored seven goals in five matches and has found the net in each of his last 14 international contests. Kane leads England's attack; Haaland leads Norway's. The semifinal spot goes to whichever team holds Saturday.
