seems she’s following in some pretty impressive footsteps.
After moving to South Florida at the age of 13, Kai found herself right at home at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach.
This school is known for producing some golf royalty, with famous golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman sending their kids there. Not to mention, Charlie Woods, Tiger Woods’ son, is also part of the school’s golf scene and helped the varsity team score a state title as a freshman.
But it’s not just school golf that Kai excels in.
Earlier this year, she won the ladies’ club championship at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, showing she’s a serious competitor.
”Golf has always been a massive part of my life and is my biggest passion. I always aspire to be a leader and a positive figure on and off the golf course,” Kai’s SportsRecruits biography states.
Going to Miami University
There’s no doubt that Kai Trump is serious about pursuing a career in golf.
Her Instagram account, kaitrumpgolfer, makes it clear that she identifies as a golfer, at least on social media.
In August 2024, she shared some more exciting news with her followers — the then-17-year-old announced her commitment to the University of Miami’s women’s golf team.
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami,” Kai wrote in the caption. “I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point.”
Kai didn’t forget to thank her grandfather, Donald Trump, in her post either.
“I would like to thank my grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support… ”
She officially graduated from The Benjamin School in Florida on May 15.
Intense battles with grandpa
Kai Trump clearly spends a lot of time on the golf course with her grandfather.
Her Instagram is full of snaps of the two of them swinging clubs and sharing laughs on the green. But what’s really going down on those fairways?
Well, according to Kai, things get pretty intense when it’s her versus Grandpa. Speaking to YouTuber Grant Horvat in July, she joked about how the competition is fierce when they play together.
“It’s a stiff competition,” she said with a grin, hinting that Donald Trump isn’t exactly the type to let his grandkid win, even if she is family!
”Genuinely, he always gives me a run for my money. It’s pretty close,” she said.
”It’s never really like game over, and I’ve won on the 15th hole. He wins a lot of the time. I do have to say that. I’ve got to get better.”
Never changed
In the video with Grant Horvat, Kai took on a stroke play golf match at Trump National in Jupiter, FL.
Naturally, many were curious to hear what she might reveal about her famous grandfather, but what really caught attention was how genuine and down-to-earth Kai comes across.
The YouTube clip offered a great glimpse into her personality.
One viewer commented, “Lovely to see that Kai is so normal and level-headed, especially considering the pressure of being from such a famous family.”
Another added, “Such a joy to see a normal teen girl! Genuine, polite, no yelling, and able to express her feelings without throwing a fit. She can actually converse!”
Perhaps her calm demeanor can be explained by the fact that growing up in the spotlight has always been normal for Kai.
”It’s never really changed who I am. I’m still very grounded; it’s all I’ve known my whole life,” she said.
Is she going into politics?
At the same time, Kai has always preferred to keep a low profile.
For those who aren’t too familiar with her and might catch her last name, Kai can live a pretty anonymous life without being immediately associated with her powerful family.
”I fit in with everyone else. You would not know at all and like that’s the way I like to keep it”, she explains.
But after her speech at the Republican National Convention, everything changed.
Her phone was blowing up, and suddenly she was in the headlines, especially after her grandfather, Donald Trump, won the election. Of course, she congratulated him, and it seems they get together often, judging by the pictures on Kai’s Instagram.
However, in the interview with Grant Horvat, Kai made it clear that politics is not her thing (at least, not yet). She’s focused on her golf career and aims to become a professional.
Photos of them
When you look closely at photos of Kai Trump with her grandfather, Donald Trump, it’s hard to miss the deep bond they share.
I never fully realized how close they are until I started paying more attention to their pictures together. There’s something special about the way they interact, something that speaks volumes even without words.
