Kai Trump: How did Donald Trump’s granddaughter fare at Florida golf state championship?

Date:

Kai Trump, the eldest grandchild of President-elect Donald J. Trump, completed her varsity golf season with the Benjamin School on Wednesday at the Florida Class 1A state championship at Mission Inn Resort + Club in Howey-in-the-Hills.

Trump, a 17-year-old junior, shot 75 (4-over) in the second round to finish the two-day tournament at 13-over and 49th place overall. The Benjamin School girls team finished 10th for the tournament.

After shooting an 80 in Tuesday’s first round, Trump improved significantly on the tournament’s second day. She limited herself to just three bogeys and a double bogey while clawing a stroke back with a birdie on hole No. 4.

Trump is committed to play collegiate golf at the University of Miami in the 2026 recruiting class.
