Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, was presented with a custom Whoop band, an item usually reserved for Team USA Ryder Cup team members and Whoop employees.
The 18-year-old chronicled her experience at the 2025 Ryder Cup, held at Bethpage Black, on her YouTube channel, which boasts over 1.2 million subscribers. In her vlog titled “So I went to the Ryder Cup with my Grandpa,” Kai shared that her granddad’s presence made the event “special” and she proudly showed off her new accessory.
“Whoop made me a custom-made Team USA band. I’m gonna take it off so I can show you guys,” she revealed during the vlog. This followed Kai inadvertently revealing a secret about Trump after concerns were raised about the president’s health.

In the video, Kai then displayed the red Whoop band adorned with the official Ryder Cup insignia. “Ryder Cup 2025,” she declared, “And then Team USA on the end. Only Team USA players and some Whoop members have this. I’m so lucky to have this. This is so awesome. Also matches my nails.”
Currently a high school senior in Florida, Kai is slated to attend the University of Miami on a golf scholarship next year.
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami,” she confirmed in an Instagram post.
“I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point.
“I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.”

Kai, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, has been in the public eye since her parents’ separation a few years ago. Vanessa is currently dating golf legend Tiger Woods, who holds 15 major championships.
The Ryder Cup saw Team USA lose to Team Europe with a score of 15-13. Despite the presence of the president on the first day, the American team trailed by two points.
Despite a brave attempt on Sunday, the Americans were unable to stage a comeback. Shane Lowry’s six-foot birdie ensured Europe kept their title.
American captain Keegan Bradley reflected on the defeat, stating, “If you win, it’s glory for life. If you lose, it’s like saying, ‘I’m going to have to put up with this for the rest of my life.’

He continued, “There’s nothing in me that thinks I’ll ever top this. You put so much effort and all that planning into it, and then the first two days went as badly as we could have ever imagined.”
Kai often plays golf with her grandfather, President Trump. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, she expressed, “I just don’t view it as him being the president. I view it as, he’s my grandpa. We’re gonna go out there and play golf,” She added, “We play golf all the time. It’s nothing new.”
