Harry Kane Played Golf With Tiger Woods

One reason why Harry Kane has become an investor for Tiger Woods’ TGL team could be down to the fact that they have played golf together.

The England striker previously claimed he enjoyed several rounds of golf while on holiday in the Bahamas with Woods.

He even claimed he beat TGL team owner Woods on their very first hole.

Recalling the story on The Rick Shiels Golf Show he said: “I was out in the Bahamas and didn’t know he was there – where we go, you’re on buggies everywhere. So I’m travelling on a buggy and was driving past a golf pro I knew there and he was like, “Oh H, how you doing?,” just catching up, I hadn’t seen him in a while.

‘He went, “Oh, by the way, I’m playing with Tiger this afternoon. You want to play?”

‘It was like, “Yeah! Just give me a shout”, because the way he said it was just like a throwaway. I didn’t want to seem over keen, I just said, “Give me a text when you’re playing.”

Kane recalled he was ‘flustered, nervous, excited’ to play golf with TGL team owner Woods. However, he managed to make a birdie on the opening hole – beating the golf legend.

The England captain joked: “I’m thinking he thinks I’m a proper golfer now.”
