Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, attended the Ryder Cup for the first time this year and noted how “special” it was to be at Bethpage Black with the U.S. President.
Trump attended the opening day of the Ryder Cup tournament and made a grand entrance, but he brought Kai with him. The 18-year-old is an avid golfer who regularly plays with Trump while creating content with other professionals and personalities.
Kai has played with Bryson DeChambeau several times and often posts golf content to her popular YouTube channel. She had never been to the Ryder Cup before, but in a recent video with President Trump, she shared her experiences.

President Trump was featured several times in Kai’s latest YouTube video, which is almost 30 minutes long. The upload shows Trump’s journey on Air Force One to the Ryder Cup, greeting the players, and hanging out at the Oval Office.
Kai has gained a reputation for being humble despite her privileged background, and claimed during the video that spending time with her grandfather meant everything. “I’ve always wanted to experience it (Ryder Cup), but getting to go with my Grandpa made it even more special,” she said.
“I had the best time getting to attend the Ryder Cup for the first time. This has been a dream of mine for so long, and it was even better than I expected. I always love coming to visit and getting to spend quality time with him.”

Kai then reflected on her day in the Oval Office and began ranking the Ryder Cup alongside other events she has seen. Unsurprisingly, it topped the list.
“I had the best time of my entire life today. It was so nice to just be there and support Team USA,” she added. “All the support from the fans and everything was crazy.
“I had a great experience, and probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever been to. I’d say that, Ryder Cup, the Masters, and then the UFC.

“But really cool experience, and now I’m just chilling at the White House. It’s so beautiful here, and obviously, we’re so lucky to be here.
“Not many people get to come here, and especially, have a family member in office. So it’s really cool just to be here, soak it all in, one day it won’t be here anymore.”
Later in the video, Kai plays golf with the president and finishes one over. She birdied on the second with a chip shot and sank another birdie several holes later.

Donald Trump was then heard saying, “Those were two good shots, honey. You’ve made three birdies today.”
Kai later revealed her full score and said she was happy with her performance. “Just finished playing,” she said. “Shot one-under the front. Shot two-over the back. So one-over through I think it was 6,700 yards, so pretty far but you know pretty proud.
“I’m pretty proud of myself. Played well. Fought hard. Made a lot of up and downs and now we’re gonna have lunch with grandpa.”
