Kai Trump Suffers Wrist Injury in First Tournament of Collegiate Golf Career
Kai Trump‘s college golf career isn’t quite starting off the way she planned. In a recent vlog shared to Instagram, the 19-year-old revealed she suffered an injury in her very first tournament. “I kinda had an injury to my wrist during the tournament, my first college tournament,” the eldest grandchild of President Donald Trump shared.

Kai Trump, 19-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa Trump, suffered a wrist injury during her inaugural college golf tournament. In a vlog on Instagram, the University of Miami student-athlete detailed the incident occurring early in the Golfweek Fall Challenge at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.
The accident happened after she "hit the ground next to the first cart path," causing a "shock on my arm." Kai recounted feeling another shock upon striking her driver during the tenth hole, suspecting she tore a "little sliver" of cartilage and ligaments in her wrist. While not fully torn, the injury forced her to settle for 102nd place out of 120 participants in the tournament.
To remedy the situation, Kai has undergone "stem cell" injections from pain specialist Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, bypassing surgery. Despite the setback, she anticipates returning to the course next month for the Hurricanes at the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invitational at UNC Finley Golf Course in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
