Kai Trump, the 17-year-old daughter of Vanessa Trump, recently shared her first public statement since news broke of her mother’s relationship with golf icon Tiger Woods.
In a casual YouTube video, Kai referenced Woods by his first name, hinting at her familiarity with the legendary golfer.
“Hi guys, I know I haven’t posted a YouTube video in a very long time, and it’s just because I had some stuff come up,” she said, explaining her focus on golf and schoolwork.
The video served as an update on her experience competing at the Genesis Open alongside Rory McIlroy and her time at the San Diego tournament, where she mentioned Woods’ foundation. “They have two foundations that support it—TGR, that’s Tiger’s foundation, and California Rise,” she noted.
This statement follows DailyMail’s confirmation of Vanessa Trump’s romance with Woods. The 47-year-old mother and 49-year-old golf star, both Florida residents, have reportedly been dating since Thanksgiving.
Spotted together at a tournament on February 16, the pair are quickly emerging as a prominent golf power couple. Living just 20 minutes apart in the upscale Palm Beach area, their bond extends beyond romance—their families are intertwining too.
Kai, an aspiring professional golfer, attends The Benjamin School, an elite institution with a $38,595 annual tuition, alongside Woods’ children, Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17. Kai and Charlie, both dedicated to golf, are set to face off in an upcoming junior tournament.
A Growing Connection
The families’ ties were apparent last month at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, California, where Vanessa and Woods arrived together.
Kai, sporting an outfit from Woods’ clothing line, joined her mother at a TGL event in February, the golf league co-founded by Woods and McIlroy.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump, Kai’s grandfather, recently enjoyed a golf outing with Woods, further linking the families.
Vanessa’s ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr., has also been in the spotlight. After ending his engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle in December, he’s now dating West Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, a shift that coincides with his father’s 2024 election win.
