At a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, former President Donald Trump revealed that he once challenged President Joe Biden to break 100 in a round of golf for $1 million. Trump offered to let Biden choose the course and said, “I’ll give you $1 million if you could break 100 in a game of golf.”
According to Trump, Biden declined the offer.
The former POTUS then modified the challenge, offering Biden ten strokes per side and still promising $1 million if Biden could beat him, claiming that Biden “had no chance.” Trump criticized Biden’s golfing skills, saying, “They talk a good game, but it’s all talk.”

The discussion about golf first came up in June during the two leaders’ presidential debate. Trump boasted about winning two club championships, asserting that one needs to be “very smart” and capable of hitting the ball long distances to achieve such victories.
Trump claimed, “I just won two club championships – not even senior. Two regular club championships. To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way. He doesn’t do it. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match; he can’t hit a ball 50 yards.”
In response, Biden suggested a driving contest, stating that he had a handicap of six while serving as Vice President. He added, “By the way, I told you before, I’m happy to play golf with you if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?”
Trump mocked Biden’s claim about his golf handicap, calling it a “lie.” Trump insisted, “That’s the biggest lie – that he was a six handicap of all.”
Biden later corrected himself, admitting his handicap was actually eight. Trump, however, dismissed Biden’s statement, remarking, “I’ve seen your swing. I know your swing. Let’s not act like children.”
