**Kai Trump: Golfing Passion and Family Bonds with President Trump**
Kai Trump discovered her love for golf at just two years old, thanks in part to her grandfather, former President Donald Trump. The 47th president of the United States is known for his enthusiasm for golf, and this shared passion has helped strengthen the bond between him and his 18-year-old granddaughter. Kai, who plans to play golf at the University of Miami in 2026, recently shared insights with Fox News Digital about how sports have shaped her relationship with her grandfather.
“He’s had a significant influence on my golf journey, especially when I was considering schools and colleges,” Kai explained, highlighting her NIL partnership with Accelerator Active Energy. “He was thrilled that I chose Miami, especially since Trump Doral is nearby, which has also influenced my love for the game.”
Over the years, President Trump has spent quality time with Kai on the golf course, helping her hone her skills as she prepares to compete at the Division I level. His passion for golf has led to the establishment of 15 courses under Trump Golf, 11 of which are located in the United States. Kai has had the privilege of playing on these courses, benefiting from resources that many aspiring golfers may not have access to. “I feel incredibly fortunate and grateful for the opportunities I’ve had,” she said. “Not everyone has the same resources growing up.”
Beyond golf, President Trump’s enthusiasm for sports extends to various activities. For instance, he frequently attends UFC matches, and Kai recently joined him and other family members at UFC 314 in Miami. “The energy in the arena was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” she recalled. “It was amazing to see so much support for him, especially in Miami. I even stopped by my school on the way there, which was a nice experience.”
While Kai may not share her grandfather’s passion for football, they do connect over other sports. “We’ve watched a lot of tennis together,” she shared. “I love tennis and started playing at the same age as I did with golf. We particularly enjoy watching events like Wimbledon together.”
As a college athlete in the current NCAA landscape, Kai is also navigating the world of brand partnerships and social media, building her presence and following in the process.
