Kai Trump Swaps Tesla Cybertruck for Cadillac SUV as She Prepares for Senior Year and Miami Golf Scholarship

The Socialite Golfer: Kai Trump's Big Day

In a move that's got everyone talking, 18-year-old Kai Trump kicked off her senior year of high school in Florida with a grand display of luxury and style. The granddaughter of former President Donald Trump and daughter of Donald Trump Jr. marked the occasion by sharing photos on Instagram that showcase her glamorous side.

Kai, who will be attending the prestigious University of Miami Hurricanes next year, looked every bit the star athlete as she posed alongside her friends, flaunting their sleek vehicles with "Seniors" emblazoned across the rear windows. But what really caught our attention was Kai's new ride - a Cadillac SUV proudly displaying the iconic "U" logo, synonymous with the esteemed private university in Coral Gables.

As we dug deeper, it became clear that this wasn't just any ordinary car. The "U" hand sign flashed by Kai in one of the photos hinted at her excitement about joining the Hurricanes' golf team. And when you consider that she's been committed to the program since April 2024, it's no wonder she's beaming with pride.

But there's more to this story than meets the eye. Sources close to the Trump family reveal that Kai has traded in her granddad's gift - a sleek Cybertruck - for a brand-new Escalade. What happened to the futuristic vehicle, you ask? Insiders claim it was simply a matter of personal preference, but we can't help wondering if there's more to it.

Kai's golfing credentials are certainly impressive. As a seasoned pro since age 2, she's been making waves on the course and has even helped her school, the Benjamin School of Palm Beach Gardens, secure a district title last season. Not bad for an 18-year-old! When we checked in with the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), we found out that Kai was ranked 530 as of June 26 - no small feat for a high school golfer.

But Kai's success isn't limited to just her sport. According to On3.com, she ranks No. 81 among all high school and college athletes in terms of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) valuations. This means she's one of the most sought-after endorsements in her age group - a true social media influencer.

Of course, joining the Hurricanes will be no cakewalk for Kai. The program has a storied history, with five national championships under its belt - although none since 1984. But don't count Kai out just yet; she'll have to contend with elite programs like Stanford, Florida State, and Virginia in the highly competitive ACC.

Meanwhile, we can't help but wonder about her school's golf team dynamics. With Tiger Woods' son Charlie attending the same school - and rumored to be dating Kai's mom - things are bound to get interesting on the course. As we spoke with insiders, it became clear that Charlie, currently ranked No. 14 by the AJGA, is a force to be reckoned with.

As Kai prepares for her senior year and next year's golf season, one thing is certain: she's got the world watching - and waiting for more of her glamorous antics on social media.
