Donald Trump challenges President Biden to a $1 million charity golf match

Trump ups the stakes, challenging Biden to a golf showdown at Doral's renowned Blue Monster course.

Former President Donald Trump has thrown down a bold challenge to President Joe Biden at a rally at his Doral golf course in South Florida. 

Trump proposed an 18-hole golf match on Doral's Blue Monster, promising it would be "among the most-watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters."

"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 announced. 

He added an enticing wager, offering to donate $1 million to a charity of Biden’s choice if he were to lose, and boldly stated, "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."

The challenge follows a heated discussion about their golf handicaps during their June 27th debate in Atlanta, where Trump claimed victory in two club championships and doubted Biden's ability to drive a golf ball 50 yards. 

Biden countered with a claim of a golf handicap of eight.

In response, Biden's spokesperson James Singer issued a fiery rebuttal, critiquing Trump's recent activities and dismissing the challenge: "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," his statement said. 

"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."

Reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has even offered to host the potential match on his YouTube channel to "settle this whole handicap debate."
