Donald Trump, as we all know by now, is not just an avid golfer but also has exceptional ties with the golf world. Be it in terms of business or friendship. Take his deeply rooted connection with LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau, for example. When DeChambeau won the 2020 U.S. Open, Trump’s son threw a grand party celebrating the victory on their family’s property. This is probably how Trump and DeChambeau met and, well, hit it off as buddies.
Ever since that, there has been no looking back for the duo. The POTUS was also a part of DeChambeau’s Break 50 challenge, and it garnered a lot of love. The friendship is now slowly turning into a family affair, with Kai and the golfer hitting a few balls together.
Donald Trump’s 17-year-old nephew, Kai Trump, is an exceptional golfer herself. A few hours ago, she took to her official Instagram account and posted pictures of her golfing at Bedminster. Guess who her partner was for the day? Yes, it was Bryson DeChambeau indeed.

She posted her series of swings and captioned the post, “Days on the course.” Well, that was not all. The third snippet featured Bryson DeChambeau. In the video, the head of Bryson DeChambeau’s driver went flying away as he hit the ball. She wrote, “@Bryson DeChambeau lost his special driver.” Kai and the LIV golfer share a good friendship. When Kai posted a video of her hitting a drive shot, even he was impressed, as he admiringly said, “Pure.”
Kai even stole DeChambeau’s 2024 US Open-winning putter showcasing the kind of friendship they have. One of her YT videos was of her visiting the Trump National Bedminster Golf Club, where she was playing after a few years as she lived mostly in New York or Florida. As she prepared for play, 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.”

A while ago, Donald Trump claimed that he hit the golf ball farther than Bryson DeChambeau. Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, supported his claim, stating that his clubhead speed is even faster than DeChambeau’s. “I think yours is a little faster, honestly. I think… I think you hit it way farther than him.” Trump, not one to shy away from boasting about his golf game, replied, “That’s right, honey.”
Fans found Kai’s and DeChambeau’s encounter to be hilariously epic, and could not contain their excitement.
Golf world in tatters seeing Bryson DeChambeau’s hit
Bryson DeChambeau uses a Krank Golf Formula Fire LD driver. The driver is handmade and designed to convert DeChambeau’s club head speed and power into strokes gained off the tee. It might not be used by a lot of the players on the Tour but is a mainstay on the long driving circuit. Currently priced at $499.99, it has helped The Scientist win two majors in one season. No doubt it was special to him. Thus, in the video, when the head swung off with the shot, his shocking reaction was very much visible.

While it was a rather sad moment for him indeed, he managed to make a funny reaction through it. And well, this left the golf world rolling out with laughter. They left comments like, “👏👏 The 3rd pic is hilarious. 😂 Bryson was like WTF 😳 😂😂” and “The Bryson double tap sounded so good but not so much. LOL”.
One of them, out of curiosity, even asked, “Wait… @brysondechambeau that really happened???” Well, the question was a given indeed. This is not the first time The Scientist has had a mishap with his driver. Something similar happened during the second round of the 2020 PGA Championship.
After hitting a drive of just 296 yards on the par-4 7th hole, Bryson DeChambeau bent down to retrieve his tee, only for his driver to completely snap at the neck. He was left holding the shaft in one hand and the driver’s head in the other, a rare and unexpected equipment failure. However, 10 to 15 minutes later he was allowed a replacement, and he also finished the event with a T4. This reminded the fans of that event. That is because, despite the malfunction, his swing was perfect. Taking to this, one of them commented, “The 3rd clip is awesome 🔥🔥.” While another simply wrote, “Lol! So much fun! 👏👏👏”.
