Kai Trump hit rock bottom at the 2025 Junior Invitational

Kai Trump fantastically improved her performance at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tournament just a few months after a career low at the 2025 Junior Invitational, which is touted as one of the most prestigious events in junior golf.

In a field of 24 girls, Trump ended up at the bottom of the ladder in all four rounds, carding rounds of 89-79-83-89.

Meanwhile, during the Easter celebrations in Washington, D.C., she did not miss a practice session, living by her mantra, "one shot a day, no days off," as she gave her fans a sneak peek of the golf stimulator inside the White House.

Moreover, on her birthday last month, she completed her practice session and then flew to New York for her birthday bash.

"I just want to say that I play a lot of golf with Kai, and she's a fantastic golfer. She's a scratch player, which is amazing," her grandfather, President Donald Trump, said.
"I think someday, in the not-too-distant future, she's going to be much better than scratchy, but she's doing really well, and she wins a lot of matches, and someday she'll be able to beat her grandfather. I'm not sure when that will be."

She has been committed to the University of Miami since August.
