The U.S. Secret Service found themselves in an unusual situation when Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai caused a stir at a golf event, leading to a mass gathering of young fans eager for her autograph.
The 17 year old golfing prodigy, who is set to attend the University of Miami in 2026, has high hopes within the Trump family of making a significant impact in the world of professional golf.
As the daughter of Donald Jnr and his ex-wife Vanessa, Kai has already garnered her own fanbase among golf enthusiasts and Trump supporters, who trailed her throughout the Sage Valley course at the Junior Invitational event on Sunday.

Consequently, Secret Service agents had to trail the crowd of supporters across the course to ensure Kai’s safety. According to the Daily Mail, Secret Service agents were seen among a ‘horde’ of Trump fans, many of whom were sporting the President’s replica red ‘MAGA’ caps.
They had to follow Kai throughout the course as she competed in the tournament, which prides itself as ‘the most prestigious event in junior golf’. One agent was even spotted chatting with Janice Olivencia, her golf coach at the University of Miami.
A group of young lads, reportedly ‘no older than 11’, swarmed around Kai for autographs and photos. The Florida starlet handled the situation with grace, posing for pictures with her fans. However, the Secret Service was not too pleased with the amount of attention she was getting.

The federal law enforcement agency had an even bigger problem on their hands as the kids chased Kai across every hole, some ‘continuously darting across fairways’ and straying into off-limits areas. But being a Trump and a budding golfer, this is something the teenager will have to adjust to.
If she ever needs advice, Kai has arguably the best golfer in history in her corner. Her mother, Vanessa, recently confirmed her relationship with 15-time major champion Tiger Woods after rumours circulated that they were dating.
She also goes to the same private school, The Benjamin School, as Tiger’s children Sam and Charlie, who are also golf prodigies. They joined her at the tournament, with all three representing their school at the event. She was chosen as an All-County selection for Benjamin in the Autumn and ended her junior season ranked 151st among girls in Florida.
However, she had a tough time at the tournament. Kai ended up shooting 89 (17-over-par) in the final round and finished the tournament at 52-over, with rounds of 89-79-83-89 – ensuring her position at the very bottom of the leaderboard among the 24 participants.
