Kai Trump is stacking wins before she even sets foot on campus. The 19-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump announced another endorsement deal on Thursday, joining forces with The Net Return, a top golf training net company.
“Excited to join The Net Return team! Women’s golf is reaching new heights, and I’m proud to partner with a brand that’s helping grow the game by making practice more accessible, enjoyable, and inspiring for players of all ages. Looking forward to taking my training to the next level. Big things to come. ⛳️,” she shared on social media.
The deal comes just months before she begins her collegiate golf career at the University of Miami this fall. Kai, who has built a massive following on social media, is expected to have a seven-figure NIL valuation, making her one of the most marketable athletes in college sports.
The Net Return, which markets itself as the No. 1 net in golf, is clearly betting on Kai’s star power to connect with a younger, digitally savvy audience. For Kai, the partnership is about more than just cash—it’s a chance to elevate women’s golf and make practice more fun for players everywhere.
Kai first announced her commitment to Miami back in August 2024, in a heartfelt post thanking her family, coaches, and especially her grandfather for giving her access to top courses and unwavering support. “I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami,” she wrote at the time. “I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.”
She’ll join the Hurricanes as one of their most high-profile recruits, and her presence is sure to draw attention to the program. With her growing endorsement portfolio and a massive online following, Kai is poised to become a major figure in college golf—and possibly beyond.
Her latest deal also highlights the booming NIL landscape, where athletes like Kai are cashing in before they even play a collegiate match. It’s a trend that has reshaped college sports, and Kai is at the forefront of it.
As she prepares for her freshman year, Kai is already thinking about the bigger picture. “Big things to come,” she promised—and with her momentum, it’s hard to argue.
