Kai Trump is an avid golfer and in addition to her Instagram, has a YouTube channel dedicated to her love of the sport.
In a video on YouTube channel about getting to know her, Trump says she started playing golf at the age of 2 thanks to her mother. She said she wants to become a professional golfer and that it's a huge goal of hers to make it to that level.
She was seen playing in the ProAm of the LIV Golf Team Championship at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in 2022, and has discussed playing with her grandfather, including during her speech at the Republican National Convention last month.

"He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his, but then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him back later," she said at the convention. "When we play golf together if I'm not on his team, he'll try to get inside of my head and he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me. But I have to remind him, I'm a Trump, too."
