Kai Trump gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at The Masters
Kai Trump has offered her followers an exclusive look at The Masters, with President Trump’s granddaughter joining the fortunate attendees at Augusta for the prestigious tournament. The 18 year old Trump is a passionate golfer preparing to attend the University of Miami this year, where she plans to refine her skills before potentially turning professional. The teen spent time at Augusta from Sunday through Wednesday before returning to complete her high school commitments.
In conversation with Mirror U.S. Sport, Trump disclosed that her grandfather, President Trump, would be monitoring The Masters and backed family friend and LIV Golf competitor Bryson DeChambeau to claim the Green Jacket. This forecast was made prior to DeChambeau’s disappointing opening round.
The emerging golf talent has now posted photos from her Augusta experience after departing the venue to concentrate on her academic responsibilities. Trump uploaded exclusive images, including one featuring herself with DeChambeau and his caddie.
Though the President’s granddaughter received a warm reception at Augusta, Tiger Woods’ former instructor, Butch Harmon, suggested the 79 year old himself is not welcome. Woods, 50, is in a relationship with Vanessa Trump, Kai’s mother, strengthening already substantial family connections to the Trumps, reports The Mirror US.
Vanessa recently shared an image supporting Woods, who was recently taken into custody and charged with Driving Under the Influence after a car crash near his Florida residence. Kai seemingly demonstrated her backing for Tiger as well, sporting his signature brand at Augusta. Nevertheless, Harmon didn’t hold back his thoughts on the President. “I think he is who he is. He’s full of himself,” criticized Harmon. “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; what you see is what you get with him. And I don’t think his personality fits the membership at Augusta.
“And it doesn’t matter that he is president. I don’t think that has anything to do with it, because there’s been a lot of other presidents who played golf, and they’re not members. [Bill] Clinton, [Barack] 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.”
Kai selected LIV Golf competitor DeChambeau as his pick to claim this year’s Masters title and secure his maiden Green Jacket. Unfortunately, DeChambeau’s opening round proved disastrous.
DeChambeau is currently tied for 56th place at four-over-par following a challenging first round where he shot 76, leaving him nine strokes behind the leaders, defending champion Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns.
Following his disappointing performance, DeChambeau hit more than 100 shots on the practice range. Regarding his strategy for the second round, DeChambeau commented, “Just going to give what the golf course gives me. I have to try to hit my irons better.
“I drove it left numerous occasions. Did a great job on 18. Wind didn’t hurt it like we thought, and that’s this game. That’s the golf course. You know, everybody has an ability for weird things to happen, and today I just did not have my irons under control, which is weird. It’s been good coming into it, so…”
