Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, was at the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club and snagged a photo with Bryson DeChambeau.

Vanessa Trump, Kai’s mother, is currently dating golf legend Tiger Woods. Woods was absent from the tournament completely, as he is currently in treatment for substance abuse issues. 

Kai has taken up golf herself. She is committed to the University of Miami as a member of the incoming freshman class. She has received a full-ride athletic scholarship for golf. Getting a chance to see the Masters Tournament in person is a rare experience for an amateur golfer. 

“What a special place,” Kai said.

She posts photos and videos of her golf career on her social media accounts. She has golfed with her grandfather. During their golf trip, she did a question-and-answer session where her fans got to ask the president questions about his life and career.

Although Kai made headlines with her commitment to Miami, she’s not the only amateur golf star who’s starting their college career. Charlie Woods, son of Tiger, committed to Florida State University as part of the incoming freshman class. Coach Trey Jones has led a consistently good program at FSU. 

Both Kai and Charlie have had some struggles in their young golf career. Both finished last in their respective most recent golf tournaments. Although some have used this to criticize them, calling them “nepo” babies, it’s important to remember they’re just teenagers. They have pressure on them that most professional golfers will never face, let alone amateurs. 


Despite that, plenty of professional golfers faced pressure to try to dethrone Rory McIlroy as the defending Masters Tournament champion. Although McIlroy struggled at first, as he was only up by two after six holes, he led after each round, making it one of the most dominant performances in Masters Tournament history.
