The golf world is filled with drama, as the previous week has proved.
Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, was in need of medical attention after attending the most prestigious event in the game: The Masters. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour made rule changes while laying off workers — not long after LIV Golf’s future was thrown into question.
At the Zurich Classic, the Fitzpatrick brothers, Matt and Alex, made history as the first brothers and family members to win the title.
Mirror U.S. Sports has put together a round-up of some of the top golf stories from the last week.

Trump’s emergency shot
Kai Trump revealed that she required a steroid shot after attending the 2026 Masters, following a “scary” allergic reaction that flared up at Augusta National.
The 18-year-old has a popular YouTube channel with almost 1.5 million subscribers, and regularly posts vlogs of her unique lifestyle. In a recent video posted to her channel, which detailed preparations before attending her senior prom, Trump revealed her worrying allergic reaction at Augusta National.
“I was using hand soap on my face when I was at Augusta, to wash off my makeup, and I started getting these bumps on my neck,” she said. “I had to get a shot — a steroid shot.

“The needle was like this big,” she explained, while using her fingers to demonstrate the size of the probe. “Now, I don’t have a rash anymore.
“But I had an allergic reaction to the hand soap on my face. I have very sensitive skin. It was so, so scary,” she concluded.
Before suffering the medical emergency, Trump was asked by Mirror U.S. Sports who would be wearing the Green Jacket on Masters Sunday. Before offering her verdict, she was seen chatting to her agent Brett Falkoff.

“I think Bryson [DeChambeau],” Trump said. Both Trump and DeChambeau share the same agent, and the golfer is also a close friend of the Trump family.
DeChambeau ended up having a nightmare week at Augusta National, failing to make the cut.
A Fitzpatrick takeover
Matt Fitzpatrick earned back-to-back PGA Tour trophies and made a candid admission about his brother’s breakthrough, revealing that he did “absolutely zero” to help Alex secure his PGA Tour card.
The English duo entered the final round with a four-shot advantage after setting a new tournament scoring record on Saturday, but were forced to withstand a tense finish after struggling to find their best rhythm down the stretch.
The victory proved especially significant for 27-year-old Alex, who began the week seventh in the Race to Dubai standings, with only the top 10 earning PGA Tour status.
