Kai Trump and Tiger Woods Together at Genesis Invitational – What’s the Story?

Kai Trump and Tiger Woods Together at Genesis Invitational – What’s the Story?

The 17-year-old is a promising golfer and has a “verbal commitment” with the University of Miami.

 

Eagle eyed golf fans may have noticed that Tiger Woods was spotted with Kai Trump this weekend ahead of the final round of the Genesis Invitational in San Diego.

Before heading to the range, Woods was seen in the parking lot with was the teenage Trump, Donald Trump’s granddaughter. Woods himself recently played a round of golf with the new US President.

It’s no secret that Trump loves golf, and this is a trend that appears it runs in the family, with granddaughter Kai revealing she has verbally committed to playing college golf at the University of Miami.

Who is Kai Trump?

The 17-year-old is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa, and is about to go into her junior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida. But she already has a fair idea of what she’d like to do with her life in the future.

The fact the teenager’s personal Instagram account is called ‘kaitrumpgolfer’ says it all and recently she broke the news that she was “beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami”.

Although she doesn’t share the nature of her scholarship, she has been tipped to have a future in the sport and her line of thanks to her grandfather suggests that is the avenue she will be going down: “I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support”.

Kai vs Donald on the golf course

Despite her tender years, Kai has already won the ladies’ club championship at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, one of 17 her grandfather owns worldwide. It was recently revealed that Trump Turnberry in Scotland would have the highest green fees anywhere in the world (£1000 / $1296 before 1pm) from 2025 onwards.

In a video with YouTube personality Grant Horvat last month, Kai claimed the Republican candidate for the 2024 US presidential election “always gives me a run for my money” and “wins a lot of the time” when they play against each other.

How good is Donald Trump at golf?

Before Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, the subject of golf handicaps came up in a debate with Trump.

USGA records show Trump is a 2.5 handicap golfer, making him supremely gifted on the course.

Many of the world’s top golfers, including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer on the men’s side, and Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa on the women’s, played college golf before turning professional.

I got job as Tiger Woods’ caddie after helping him out of desperate toilet situation

By
Woods Denied Access? His Two Brutal Questions!

Legendary caddie Billy Foster has seen just about everything on the golf course, but his greatest story comes from inside a bathroom.

These days, the Yorkshireman is best-known for his work with Matt Fitzpatrick, after both men won their first major title at the 2023 US Open.

Foster had to wait until recently to finally get his hands on one of golf's four biggest prizes

Over the years, Foster has worked with some of the game’s greats – Seven Ballesteros, Sergio Garcia, Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood, and even Tiger Woods.

Over a glittering 43-year career, Foster has been a part of 45 professional victories, making him one of the most iconic caddies in all of golf.

But besides being a wizard at selecting clubs and reading greens, the 61-year-old is also a master of storytelling.

And there is no better story than his interaction with 15-time major winner Woods at the 2002 Ryder Cup, when Foster was caddying for Clarke.

Speaking to the DP World Tour in 2019, Foster recalled: “First morning, first match was Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn playing Tiger Woods and Paul Azinger.

“So I got to the putting green at 7.45am, 8am is the first tee time. I said to Darren, ‘Your flock of seagulls are flapping. I need to go for a Tom Kite. I’ll be back in a minute’. So I went to go to the toilets.

“So I’ve sat down in cubicle number one, trollies around the ankles, just about to give it the full-thrust morning glory.

Woods delivered 2.5 points for Team USA at the 2005 Presidents Cup with Foster's help

“And I look to the side, full reverse, no toilet paper. So I’ve come out of the cubicle, walked straight across the corridor. And there’s Davis Love III’s caddie Cubbie [John Burke].

“So I sit down. 20 rolls of toilet paper behind me. No problem. Next minute, spikes on the bathroom floor.

“I hear, ‘Morning Cubbie, morning Tiger’. Bang, he’s gone in the one where I’ve just come from.

“Well, I’m crying now because I’ve just got this vision in my head of Tiger Woods walking up the fifth, like John Wayne just got off his horse.

“So I come out and as I’m walking past his cubicle, it’s now six minutes to tee off, I hear this little sigh. He realises there’s no toilet paper. And I thought, you know what? I can’t do it to him.

“So I walked back to my cubicle, rolled off about 20 sheets, folded them up, got down on my hands and knees and went under his toilet door, said, ‘Whoever’s in there, you might be needing this’.

“And as he grabbed it, I went, ‘Europe, 1UP!’ And walked out. And sure enough, we beat them 1UP.

“He came out with the biggest smile on his face. Obviously, I told everybody on the putting green.

“I said, ‘You owe me, Tiger Woods’. And he held his hands up and said, ‘Billy Foster, I owe you big time’.”

Woods was truly at the peak of his powers in the summer of 2002, having won six of the last 12 major championships.

Foster and Woods go way back - and remain friends to this day

It was perhaps the greatest prolonged spell of golf the game has ever seen.

Foster and Team Europe got one over on Woods that weekend, beating Team USA by three points.

But three years later, the Englishman and the American would join forces.

Ahead of the 2005 Presidents Cup, Woods’ regular caddie Steve Williams needed a week off for the birth of his child.

Woods asked Clarke if he could borrow Foster – and the iconic caddie is convinced his antics at The Belfry got him the gig.

Speaking to the Daily Mail in 2023, Foster said: “I swear that’s why I got the job.

“Not because I’m a good caddie, but because I was the s***house saviour.”

Woods did not forget his debt to Foster - and offered him a part-time job three years later

Foster recently decided to take a step back from caddying, announcing his decision to share Fitzpatrick’s bag with fellow veteran Daniel Parratt for the 2025 season.

The master orator recently appeared on Sky Sports’ coverage of the Phoenix Open, suggesting that he could be moving towards a punditry role.

And if his story about Woods is anything to go by, golf fans are in for a treat.

By
Tiger Woods’ Toughest Decision Yet!

Tiger Woods has pulled out this week’s Genesis Invitational, as he is “still processing” his mother’s death, Kultida.

The 15-time major champion has admitted he is “not ready” to return to golf.

Kultida’s death was confirmed on February 4.

Three days later, the organisers of the Genesis Invitational announced Woods’ participation in the event at Torrey Pines.

“I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” Woods wrote on social media.

“Thanks to everyone who has reached out. I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my mom’s passing.”

Woods has not featured a PGA Tour event since last year’s Open at Royal Troon in July.

Is Tiger’s Son Really ‘Broke’ Despite Huge Earnings?

Charlie Woods is following in his father’s footsteps as he aims to forge a career in golf, and the teenager has already made a name for himself on the course.

Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods, is setting his sights on a career in golf. The 16-year-old has been learning from his father, who is keen to pass on his golfing wisdom.

Despite the pressure of emulating a 15-time major winner, Charlie seems unfazed and led his Florida high school to a state championship victory in 2023. He recently made headlines in December when he scored his first hole-in-one.

However, he still has a long journey to match his father’s success, who tops the PGA Tour’s all-time prize money list. Express Sport takes a closer look at the teenager’s budding golf career.

Net worth

According to Sportskeeda, Charlie’s net worth is estimated at around £20million ($25m), mainly due to potential sponsorship deals and a trust fund set up by his father. As an amateur golfer, there’s no exact figure for his earnings so far.The youngster has played alongside his dad at the PNC Championship several times, most recently finishing second after scoring his hole-in-one. The Woods family missed out on the top prize in a play-off with Bernhard and Jason Langer

Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods, is setting his sights on a career in golf. The 16-year-old has been learning from his father, who is keen to pass on his golfing wisdom.

The youngster has played alongside his dad at the PNC Championship several times, most recently finishing second after scoring his hole-in-one. The Woods family missed out on the top prize in a play-off with Bernhard and Jason Langer.

Their total prize money from the tournament is £242k ($300k). While an impressive amount for a 16-year-old, it is a small sum compared to his father’s course earnings of £97m ($120m) and overall net worth of £1.05bn ($1.3bn), as reported by Forbes.

Bittersweet Moment for Tiger Woods’ Son Charlie Amid Family Tragedy

Bittersweet Moment for Tiger Woods’ Son Charlie Amid Family Tragedy

The golfer shares two children with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren

Tiger Woods’ son Charlie reached a major milestone on February 8 – but the celebration will be bittersweet following the death of his grandmother on February 4.

The golfer turned sweet 16, and while the day will likely not go unnoticed, it will be tinged with sadness as his grandmother, Kultida Woods, won’t be there to celebrate with him.

Tiger’s mother passed away aged 78, with the golfing legend sharing the news of her death on behalf of his family, including his two children, Charlie, and his big sister Sam, 17, in an emotional statement on Instagram.

“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” he wrote. “My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable.”

He concluded: “Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you mom.”

Despite his pain, Tiger will likely make a fuss of his only son’s big milestone, which comes several weeks after he hit his first hole-in-one at the PNC Championship, which saw him and his dad finish in second place, in December.

Tiger adores being a dad and said in 2011 that it is his most rewarding role. “I just love being with them and seeing what they’re doing, what they’re capable of doing – the joys, just the shifts of interest. It’s just fun. We have a great time together.”

Charlie has taken after his dad and is a “natural” golfer, but Tiger never pressured him to play for fear he would “hate the game”.

“I get emotional about it. Some of my best memories are being out there with my dad,” Tiger said on A Round with Tiger: Celebrity Lessons. “I just don’t want him to hate the game.”

Sharing his joy over being able to share golf with his son, Tiger said in 2022 at the PNC Championship in Orlando: “It is an amazing gift to be able to share my love of golf with Charlie and we genuinely do look forward to playing in the PNC Championship all year.

“Competing together, against a field of so many golfing greats and their families, is so special.”

Tiger and Charlie have played together at the PNC Championship four times. They made their debut at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in 2020, where they finished seventh. The next year they finished second place. In 2022 they were tied for eighth place, and in 2024 they were runner-up.

Phil Mickelson obviously would be such an interesting experience I feel like to play a round with him,” the golf influencer, who played collegiately at San Diego State, told SI’s Claudette Montana on Super Bowl Radio Row.

Paige Spiranac would love to tee it up with either Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson.

“Phil Mickelson obviously would be such an interesting experience I feel like to play a round with him,” the golf influencer, who played collegiately at San Diego State, told SI’s Claudette Montana on Super Bowl Radio Row.

One problem, though.

“No one knows why,” she said.

Well, except one person.

“Phil knows,” Spiranac said.

What Rory McIlroy Just Said About Serena Williams & Tiger Woods Will Shock You

What Rory McIlroy Just Said About Serena Williams & Tiger Woods Will Shock You

Rory McIlroy never misses an opportunity to appreciate his peers, whether from golf or other sports. He once did the same for Serena Williams and Tiger Woods, praising the superstar duo and explaining why fans connect with them so deeply.

Williams’ tennis legacy is unmatched, with 23 Grand Slam titles — the most by any female player in the Open Era and second only to Margaret Court’s 24 overall. Meanwhile, Woods, a 15-time Major champion, is widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Williams and Woods share striking similarities in their careers. Both were prodigies who broke racial barriers in traditionally white-dominated sports. Despite injuries and personal challenges disrupting their journeys, they staged incredible comebacks — she won a Grand Slam while pregnant and returned after giving birth, while he claimed the 2019 Masters after years of setbacks.

Serena Williams, Tiger Woods' Advice To Still Play Tennis

McIlroy took note of these parallels, telling source in 2019 what made Serena Williams and Tiger Woods so relatable to fans:

“People can relate to vulnerability. Serena and Tiger didn’t show any vulnerability for 20 years. Now people see that side of them and it humanizes them and it makes them more endearing.”

McIlroy, who was once engaged to Williams’ close friend Caroline Wozniacki and had the chance to observe the tennis icon up close, added:

“I think they put themselves through it because they don’t want to let people down.”

“You get what you give, and I think Tiger and Serena over the years have given people so much joy by playing their sport the best they can. They want to be able to keep doing that, but it’s hard. Time catches up,” he continued.
