Former US President Donald Trump has challenged current US President Joe Biden to an 18-hole golf match. He added that he would donate $1,000,000 to charity if he loses.
A couple of weeks ago, during the CNN Presidential debate, Trump, the Republican candidate, and Biden had a heated argument. Trump questioned his rival's golf skills, while Biden claimed that he was 6 handicap.
On Tuesday, July 9, Donald Trump challenged Joe Biden to another debate and an 18-hole golf match during a rally in Doral, Florida.
"I am also officially challenging crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here," he said. "It will be among the most watched sporting events in history, maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters."
"I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes a side. 10 strokes, that’s a lot," he added. "That means 20 strokes in case you don’t play golf. I will give him 10 strokes a side and if he wins, I will give the charity of his choice, any charity that he wants, $1 million."
Fans online had interesting reactions to Trump's challenge. Many also believed this wouldn't happen as Biden would never accept the challenge. Here's a look at some responses:

"This is one of the most American things I've seen in a while," another user wrote.
"Trump makes me that offer from the back tees at the Blue Monster and the American Legion Post 20 in Crown Point Indiana is getting $1,000,000," one user commented.
"20 strokes are way too much but believe me, Joe will still lose," this user opined.
