The Trump family continues to demonstrate that they’re not just political royalty but sporting legends as well. Kai Trump, the eldest granddaughter of Donald Trump, has officially decided to tee off her collegiate journey by committing to play Division I golf at the University of Miami. This announcement, made with youthful enthusiasm on her Instagram, is bound to have the Trump clan bursting with pride.
Kai, who is only entering her junior year at the prestigious Benjamin School in Palm Beach, has already made a name for herself in the golfing world. She’s not just aiming for another golf scholarship; she’s aspiring to bring her ‘A’ game to one of the top programs in the nation, all while making it look effortless. In her social media post, she gave a nod to her parents, Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa, for being her ultimate cheerleaders, which is essentially parental duty in the Trump household but certainly deserves a shout-out regardless.

It is worth noting that Kai comes from a long line of golf enthusiasts. With President Trump himself being an avid golfer—who apparently won’t let a little thing like an assassination attempt stop him from hitting the greens—the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. Given Kai’s impressive resume, which includes winning the women’s club championship at her grandfather’s golf course, one could argue that she’s more than just a product of her lineage; she’s a formidable competitor in her own right.
The sisterly dynamic between Kai and her grandfather extends to the golf course, where they have a friendly rivalry that keeps things competitive. She’s confessed that “Grandpa” still manages to outplay her on occasion, which is charming in its own right, considering that most 17-year-olds would probably revel in defeating a grandparent. Judging by her clear determination to improve, there’s a good chance Kai will turn the tables sooner than later—it’s all part of the family’s relentless pursuit of excellence.
While competing at a high level, Kai has mingled with some impressive company, including golfing giants and, of course, her Uncle Eric Trump. Her participation in the LIV Golf tournament not only showcases her skills but also highlights the familial bond that transcends mere sporting events. Regularly driving over 260 yards is impressive enough on its own, but with her sights set on being a top prospect, it’s clear she’s more than ready to keep the Trump legacy alive in the sporting arena. With connections like these and the backing of a prominent sponsor, it appears Kai is gearing up for a successful career—both on and off the course.
