President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, had a less-than-stellar golf performance on November 13.

On Thursday, the 18-year-old high school senior made her LPGA Tour debut at The Annika at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, with a sponsor exemption.

The YouTuber was 13 strokes above par, according to ESPN. The outlet explained Kai “bogeyed the first four holes and finished the birdie-less round with nine bogeys and two double bogeys,” putting her in last place in the 108-player field.

Kai  — the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Haydon — spoke out about her game afterward.

“I was definitely more nervous than I expected, but I thought I hit a lot of great shots out there,” she remarked per ESPN. “I hit a lot of good shots just to the wrong spots.”

“It was pretty cool because I know I hit it far, but kind of playing with the best players in the world and being literally right there or even outdriving on some of the holes, it felt pretty good,” she added. “Felt like my game is in a good spot, and especially only being a senior in high school.”

As the National Enquirer reported earlier this week, Kai took to Instagram on Wednesday, November 12, to announce that she officially signed to play for the University of Miami women’s golf team, after verbally committing to the team in August 2024.
