Kai Trump has posted a series of photos detailing her trip to Augusta National, which came just days after mom Vanessa’s boyfriend Tiger Woods flew to rehab following his DUI arrest.
Daily Mail spotted the 18-year-old granddaughter of the president wandering around the grounds of the iconic Masters golf course in Georgia on Tuesday morning.
The YouTuber and golf influencer, whose father is Donald Trump Jr., was hanging out by Augusta National’s famed clubhouse, where members Sir Nick Faldo and Annika Sorenstam were present.
Kai then went inside the ropes to watch golf’s greatest players prepare to do battle this week for the tournament’s iconic green jacket.
On Thursday night, she posted a number of photos from her day, including several of her out on the famed course.
Kai, who has already committed to play golf for the University of Miami, was also seen posing with American golf star Bryson DeChambeau and his caddie Greg Bodine.

It comes after Woods, 50, was detained on March 27 after flipping his SUV while attempting to overtake a truck and trailer at high speed in the billionaire enclave of Jupiter Island in Florida. He was found with two pills in his pocket.
The scandalized golf legend is believed to have jetted to Switzerland last week to seek treatment after vowing to step away from the sport to focus on his health and recovery in the wake of his arrest.
Woods, a five-time Masters champion, was weighing up whether or not to play in the Masters at the time of his arrest. He was also due to be in Augusta this week for a series of events.
Vanessa, the former daughter-in-law of President Trump, has been dating the 15-time major winner since around Thanksgiving 2024, with the Daily Mail exclusively revealing their relationship in March last year.
In the wake of Woods’ latest accident behind the wheel – his fourth since 2009 – Vanessa has publicly shown her support.
Sharing a picture of the couple together in happier times on Friday, Vanessa captioned the image with two red hearts and the words: ‘Love you.’
The Daily Mail understands that behind the scenes Vanessa has been pushing Woods to get the best care possible and that she won’t stand for another repeat of the troubles that have blighted Woods’ life away from sport.
Woods was given approval by a judge to travel outside of the United States for rehab in his latest battle with prescription pills last week. Shortly after, his private jet touched down in Zurich, Switzerland where an ultra-private rehab facility is located.

Woods has been charged with driving under the influence, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. He pleaded not guilty and is slated to appear in court on May 5.
Just days before Woods crashed, Vanessa watched from the stands in Florida with her daughter Kai as he made a hugely anticipated return to golf at his TGL (The Golf League) event.
Kai’s appearance at Augusta also came a day after golf icon Butch Harmon said he never expects her grandfather to be granted membership to the prestigious club.
Golf fanatic Trump would undoubtedly love the chance to join the green jacketed elite but Harmon, one of golf’s greatest coaches who has known Trump for decades, shut down the possibility in a wide-ranging interview.
Asked why Trump has never found his way into the secretive club, Harmon, 82, said: ‘I think you can answer that yourself – because he’s Trump.
‘I think he is who he is. He’s full of himself. He’s the type of person that I don’t think fits the profile of an Augusta member.
‘I’ve known him most of my whole life, because his father was a member of Winged Foot (where Harmon’s father Claude was head professional), so I’ve known Donald pretty much my whole life.
‘What you see is what you get with him. And I don’t think his personality fits the membership at Augusta.
‘I don’t think that (being president) has anything to do with it, because there’s been a lot of other presidents who played golf, and they’re not members. Clinton, Obama, they played golf. I think it’s just his personality doesn’t mix with that particular club. That’s as politically correct as I can be.’
