All eyes are now set on LIV Golf vs PGA Tour! The best of both leagues, that is, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka will be teaming up and representing their leagues in a faceoff at the Shadow Creek Golf Club in Vegas. This exhibition match has the golf world excited, including fans and young golfers. 

All four players have already reached the course to go through their practice round on Monday. McIlroy and DeChambeau even engaged in some fun banter where the latter threw sarcastic shade on the Northern Irishman, reminiscing about what happened at the US Open. But amid all the rivalry, there was one person who stood out among the four stars. Donald Trump’s beloved granddaughter. 

Just a few hours ago, Kai Trump shared her excitement regarding The Showdown. She was at the golf course on Monday and had clicked pictures with all four players. Putting them on her official Instagram account, she wrote, “This will be interesting…” It sure will be very interesting. It’s not every day you get to see an exhibition match like this where the winner will get his share in crypto or for which two of the players had to get a release from the Tour.

Kai shares a pretty good bond with Bryson DeChambeau. She was with him at Bedminster a few days ago and played a round with him where the LIV star lost his driver. Kai even stole DeChambeau’s 2024 US Open-winning putter showcasing the kind of friendship they have.

In one of her YT videos, she revealed, “I’m going to be using Bryson DeChambeau’s putter today.” Her cameraman jokingly asked her if she had just stolen it from him. To which she humorously replied, “This is, yeah, stole it from him, the US Open yeah winning putter right here.” The chances are highly likely that she would be supporting 2x US Open winner.

The 17-year-old has already been capturing hearts with her exceptional gameplay at such a young age. And now being able to take pictures with the greatest golfers, she surely did take away the limelight.

The golf community feels proud of Kai Trump

In 2024, Kai Trump made a notable contribution to the Buccaneers women’s golf team at the 13-1A Girls Team Championship, held at the Trump International West Palm Beach, a course she was well-acquainted with. The Buccaneers, led by their solid play across the board, secured a dominant victory with a final score of 28 over 320, comfortably outpacing the runner-up, Oxbridge Academy, who finished with 47 over. While Kai Trump, at just 14 years old, played a crucial role in her team’s success, she finished 6th individually within her squad after carding an 11-over 84. Despite not taking the top individual spot, her performance was instrumental in securing the championship for her team. Taking to this, one of them commented,

Well, that is not all for her accolades in the golf world. Thanks to her grandfather’s influence, Kai Trump has gotten the opportunity to partner with several golf influencers. Once she collaborated with YouTuber Grant Horvat and teed off in a stroke play match at the Trump National. She also partnered with Garrett Clark. Taking to this, one of them wrote, “Learning from the best! Well done and a classic Trump… Seeking to be the best! God bless you!” While another simply commented, “Just golfing with the best in the world, no big deal.” While another simply commented, “This post is a bigger flex than your grandfather being president, tbh lmao.”

The 2024 Showdown is undoubtedly the most awaited tournament of the season. That is because, after two years of demanding to be able to watch the greatest players come together, except for the majors, this is the first time their demands will be fulfilled. This can also resonate with some agreement being made between the two leagues, as for the first time they will be doing something together. Taking to this, one of them wrote, “Match of the year coming!! Ready to rock 🙌”
