Kai Trump discusses golf, social media success and college plans
Kai Trump, Donald Trump’s granddaughter, shares her journey on ‘Fox & Friends,’ detailing her success in golf, her burgeoning social media presence and her impending enrollment at the University of Miami to play golf. She candidly discusses balancing her personal life, studies and athletic commitments, while reflecting on her mother’s ongoing breast cancer recovery. Trump highlights her competitive spirit, attributing it to her grandfather.
Kai Trump is getting some pretty good golf advice.
The 19-year-old’s freshman season at the University of Miami was halted last month after she was forced to undergo another wrist surgery. But surely, her source of information has dealt with his fair share of injuries.
That, of course, is Tiger Woods, who is dating Trump’s mother, Vanessa. Vanessa is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

Trump and the 15-time major champion hard-launched their relationship in March of last year.
“He’s the best. I love him so much, and he’s a great guy, and he helps me whenever I want,” the president’s granddaughter said to Golfweek.
Shortly after Woods was arrested on charges of DUI, Vanessa Trump showed support for her boyfriend.
“Love you,” Vanessa Trump wrote over a picture of herself hugging Woods as the two appeared to relax on a hammock. The photo, posted to her Instagram Stories early Friday morning, was the same photo Woods shared on X when he first announced his relationship with her.
Tiger’s son, Charlie, and Kai Trump played at a tournament together at the 2025 Junior Invitational.

KAI TRUMP RECALLS ‘A LOT OF CRYING’ WITH MOM VANESSA BEFORE COLLEGE AMID BREAST CANCER BATTLE
After his highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren, Woods was linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in the 2010s. He was dating Erica Herman at the time he won the Masters in 2019, but they, too, had a very public breakup that included sexual harassment allegations and an NDA lawsuit filed by Herman.
Woods and Nordegren have appeared to be amicable in recent years, as they co-parent Charlie and Sam Woods. The two were recently together at Charlie’s high school where he officially signed to play college golf at Florida State.
Woods has played in just 18 events since the start of the new decade, and his best finish in a major during that span is a tie for 38th at the 2020 Masters.
Tiger’s return to the golf course remains to be determined — he has not played since the 2024 Open Championship. When he was arrested in March, he said he was “hoping to” play in April’s Masters, but he ultimately missed the entire 2026 season.
