Miami golf commit Kai Trump holds $1.2 million On3 NIL Valuation

The granddaughter of President Donald Trump, Kai Trump, committed to Miami last August to play golf and has a growing NIL stock. She touts over five million social media followers across TikTok, Instagram and X, and nearly a million YouTube subscribers.

A senior at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida, Trump signed her first NIL deal in January with Leaf Trading Cards. The pack of cards sells for $199.99 and each contains one random autograph card, per the description.

With a rising social media profile and commitment to Miami, the 17-year-old golfer has a $1.2 million On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market NIL value for high school and college athletes. The valuation calculates an athlete’s NIL value using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories: performance, influence and exposure.

The eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr., Kai Trump’s On3 NIL Valuation is No. 1 in women’s high school golf and No. 81 in the On3 NIL 100, the first of its kind and de facto NIL ranking of the top 100 high school and college athletes ranked by their On3 NIL Valuation.

Trump’s valuation is also in the top 10 of the Women’s On3 NIL 100, trailing UConn’s Paige Bueckers ($1.4 million), LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson ($1.5 million) and LSU’s Livvy Dunne ($4.2 million). She has played with Donald Trump, appearing in a LIV Golf pro-am with her grandfather.

At the Florida Class 1A state championship last November, she shot a 75 (4-over) in the second round to finish the two-day tournament at 13-over and 49th place overall. Trump ranked inside Florida’s top 200 girls varsity golfers for the 2024 season with a stroke average of 39.1 across 15 rounds.

During an address at the Republican National Convention in July, Kai said about her grandfather: “He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his. But then I have to remind him that I’m in school and I’ll have to call him back later.”

Miami has one of the top golf programs in the nation, including a national championship in 1984. The Hurricanes are one of just 17 programs to win a national title in women’s golf since the NCAA began tracking stroke play champions in 1982. The program also claims four national titles in the 1970s.

“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami,” she wrote in her commitment announcement in August. “I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey.”
