‘Taking After Your Grampa’: Donald Trump’s Granddaughter Kai Stuns Golf Fans With Her ‘Solid’ Skills

“I… just focus on golf,” said an ecstatic Kai Trump. She said so when the young athlete was asked about her future plans. Golf? And not politics? Well, the community was amazed to hear Donald Trump’s granddaughter choosing the sport over a career in her grandfather’s footsteps. What got them really surprised, however, was her latest social media post alongside content creator Garrett Clark.

The 17-year-old golfer shared a series of pictures and videos on her Instagram handle alongside the famous golfing influencer. “Just having fun,” wrote the teenage athlete as she showcased her golf swings, chipping game, and more through the post. Suffice it to say, her skills sure left an impression on people’s minds.

Seeing her skills, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the female athlete recently also took to verbally commit to the University of Miami. “I am beyond excited,” shared Donald Trump’s granddaughter as she revealed the same back in August. What’s more, she also conveyed her gratitude towards her family and friends, not to mention those who helped her in pursuing her dream.

If there’s one thing that Kai Trump has garnered, it’s praise for her golfing skills. Although many in the community are still critical of her grandfather’s game, she, on the other hand, has left many impressed through the same. And something similar happened this time around, as well as the community flocked to express their awe for the athlete under the Instagram post.

The internet gets sent into a frenzy owing to Kai Trump’s skills

This is not the first time Kai Trump has joined hands with a golf content creator. In July, she collaborated with YouTuber Grant Horvat and teed off in a stroke play match against him at Trump National Florida. Fast forward to the present, and her recent snaps and videos with Garrett Clark caused a fan to compare her skills with those of the influencer. Needless to say, they were impressed as they commented, “Highkey better swing than Garrett.”

The last video of the post saw Kai Trump chipping the ball from the edge of a bunker to the greens and into the hole. Impressive, yes… But did you notice her reaction after the shot? A fist pump in the air. A follower noticed it and they went ahead to respond with the comment, “The fist at the end! Taking after your grampa!”

If you think that’s where the similarity ends, then you’re sorely wrong. Donald Trump’s granddaughter has also raked in many achievements, including the 2022 Women’s Club Championship and the 2024 Ladies Club Championship. Sounds familiar? The politician had also won a couple of club tournaments, the Club Championship and the Senior Club Championship at his West Palm Beach course.

Back to the present, the teenage athlete’s skills sure did garner many reactions from the community. Many took to dish out comments such as, “Nice chip shot!” “Solid swings!” and “That’s a great swing!!” However, a certain golfing enthusiast took to convey how much of an inspiration she was to the upcoming and rising golfers. “You’re a great inspiration to our oldest granddaughter,” commented the fan, “who was about to give up her golf game!”

Interestingly, this is not the first time she has received praise for her golfing game. Many professional golfers such as Bryson DeChambeau, Kyle Berkshire, and Dani Holmqvist, have also come out candid on Kai Trump’s skills. “Game is looking great Kai!” said the 3x Reigning World Long Drive Champion while the LIV Golf Pro dubbed her game as nothing short of “pure.”

Impressive, isn’t it? She sure does have it in her to gain the praise of so many professionals and fans alike, irrespective of any other factors surrounding her background. If she does keep it up, the granddaughter of the ex-POTUS Donald Trump may very well find an LPGA Tour card in her hands, just like her wishes!
