In late June 2026, 19-year-old Kai Trump partnered with golf-equipment brand The Net Return, drawing criticism from commenters who labeled the deal a “nepo-baby” opportunity. During this time, she shared updates regarding her mother Vanessa Trump’s cancer treatment, noting that while radiation “has taken a toll,” her recovery was progressing. At the July ESPY Awards, Kai arrived in a custom Alice + Olivia gold gown, earning “best-dressed” recognition from the Daily Mail. In a vlog, she stated, “I got best dressed” and expressed an ambition to win an ESPY next year. She used the platform to reiterate that politics is “completely not my thing,” focusing instead on her athletic goals. She also noted that Tiger Woods has been supporting Vanessa through her treatment. Following the awards, Kai posted a travel vlog from a Costa Rica vacation. The content, featuring beach scenes and golf practice, sparked social media backlash; critics accused the trip of being tone-deaf to the U.S. affordability crisis, suggesting the display of wealth “plays in our face.” As August approached, Kai prepared to begin her freshman year at the University of Miami to play for the Hurricanes golf team. In early September, Kai documented her move to Miami via YouTube vlogs, describing the transition as highly emotional. Later in September, while competing in her first collegiate tournament at the Golfweek Fall Challenge in South Carolina, Trump sustained a wrist injury after her club struck hard ground.
