Donald Trump’s competitive spirit is legendary in political circles.
Now he’s facing a new challenger from his own family.
And Donald Trump floored golf fans with this jaw-dropping admission about his granddaughter.
Trump admits granddaughter Kai may soon outplay him on the golf course
President Donald Trump has never been shy about his golfing prowess. The former businessman has long been known as one of the most skilled Presidential golfers in American history.
But in a surprising moment of humility, Trump admitted there’s one up-and-comer who might eventually surpass his skills on the links – his own granddaughter, Kai Trump.
In a video Kai posted recapping her trip to UFC 314, the President gave a candid assessment of the 17-year-old’s golfing abilities that left many fans stunned.
“I just wanna say that I play a lot of golf with Kai and she’s a fantastic golfer,” Trump said in the video. “She’s a scratch player, which is amazing. I think some day in the not-too-distant future she’s gonna be much better than scratch.”
The President, who recently won the senior club championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, admitted something few ever expected to hear from the famously competitive Trump.
“She wins a lot of matches. And some day she’ll be able to beat her grandfather, but I’m not sure when that’ll be . . . it might be a long time,” Trump acknowledged.
The next golfing star of the Trump dynasty
Kai Trump has been making waves in junior golf circles for years, but her profile is set to rise even higher this fall when she begins her collegiate career at the University of Miami.
The talented teenager committed to the Hurricanes last August, announcing on Instagram she was “beyond excited” to continue her golfing journey in the Sunshine State.
“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 wrote in her commitment announcement.
The President’s granddaughter currently attends The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida – the same prestigious institution where Tiger Woods’ son Charlie is enrolled.
Speaking of Woods, Kai has been spotted in high-profile golfing company beyond just her famous grandfather. She was photographed arriving on the course with the legendary Tiger Woods during the final round of The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in February.
Trump’s love of golf extends to the Oval Office
The 45th President’s passion for golf has been well-documented throughout both of his terms in office. Trump owns numerous golf courses worldwide and has frequently hosted professional tournaments at his properties.
His skills on the course aren’t just for show. Trump has routinely been photographed golfing with professional athletes across various sports, and his competitive nature is apparent whether he’s putting for par or negotiating international deals.
The President’s golfing reputation went global during his first term when he played rounds with world leaders like former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Trump used these golf outings as an opportunity to build personal relationships with foreign dignitaries while showcasing his abilities on the course.
Now it seems there’s a new generation of Trump golfers preparing to carry on the family tradition.
Kai’s father, Donald Trump Jr., has been supportive of his daughter’s golfing ambitions, frequently posting about her tournaments and achievements on social media. With her grandfather occupying the White House and her own burgeoning talent, Kai appears poised to become a notable presence in collegiate golf.
Whether she’ll eventually outplay her grandfather remains to be seen – and if President Trump’s competitive nature is any indication, he won’t make it easy for her.
But one thing is certain: the Trump family’s golf dynasty shows no signs of slowing down.
