It looks like Donald Trump has passed on his favorite sports passion to one of his grandchildren and they are expected to make some big NIL money during their first season golfing for the Miami Hurricanes.
New President Donald Trump has always been a big supporter of professional athletics. One of his hotels in Atlantic City, NJ was the home of two WrestleMania events, and he even took part in a storyline at WrestleMania 23. Plus, he owned a team in the now defunct-USFL when they tried to be a serious competitor to the NFL.

However, his greatest sports passion has always been golf. He has been an avid golfer for much of his adult life and still does so to this day. He even recently interjected himself into ongoing merger negotiations between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. And it seems that love of the game has been passed on to his granddaughter Kai Trump.
The 17-year-old is a talented golf prospect who recently committed to play for the Miami Hurricanes next season. But she has also become a legitimate influencer on social media and YouTube, no doubt, due to being a member of the Trump family. And it seems her fame in the digital world and athletic endeavors is expected to bank big bucks for her later this year.
Donald Trump’s granddaughter expected to make over a million dollars in NIL money in 2025
In a new report from On3, the outlet revealed what Kai Trump’s NIL valuation is heading into her first year in college. And it is a stunning amount for a collegiate golfer. “With a rising social media profile and commitment to Miami, the 17-year-old golfer has a $1.2 million On3 NIL Valuation.”
On3 bases their NIL valuation for high school and college athletes on three dynamic data categories. Those are performance, influence, and exposure. On their board of the top 100 NIL athletes in 2025, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. is in the top 10 for all female athletes. Only behind UConn’s Paige Bueckers ($1.4 million), LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson ($1.5 million), and LSU’s Livvy Dunne ($4.2 million).
Kai Trump ranks 81st overall on their list.
