Trump Granddaughter Steals the Spotlight Once Again - But This Time on the Golf Course

While we've all been buzzing about 17-year-old Kai Trump's impassioned speech in support of her grandfather at the RNC last week, it seems the youngster is winning over fans for another reason - her golf game.

As many of you know, Kai is no stranger to the links. An avid player who sponsors with Callaway and Greyson Scarlett, she's been regularly posting her swing progress on Instagram for years now. But it was only after she took to the political stage that people really started paying attention to her athletic skills.

In the aftermath of her speech, golf fans and Trump supporters alike flooded Kai's social media to gush over a swing video she posted last month. Comments like "LPGA incoming!" and "You'll be the best, it's only a matter of time. No politics, just play golf." filled her comments as people realized this 17-year-old clearly has some serious talent.

With a reported 275-yard drive under her belt and tournament wins already at clubs owned by her grandpa, Kai seems poised to continue dominating the amateur circuit. Some are even speculating she could follow in the footsteps of stars like Nelly Korda and earn a college scholarship or turn pro early.

She told her Instagram followers about the “amazing time” they have golfing together.

Pretty heady stuff for any 17-year-old, but we know political fame often breeds unwanted attention. Hopefully Kai can use this new spotlight to boost her golf career without unwanted disruptions. One thing's for sure - her fans, and this writer, can't wait to see how far her game continues to evolve. Stay tuned to Golfaq for more updates on Trump's up-and-coming granddaughter phenom!
