Miami golf commit Kai Trump inks NIL deal with Accelerator Active Energy

Miami golf commit Kai Trump has become the latest high-profile athlete to ink an NIL deal with Accelerator Active Energy. The granddaughter of President Donald Trump touts over five million social media followers across TikTok, Instagram and X, and over 1.1 million YouTube subscribers.

Trump joins LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne as athletes to sign endorsement deals with Accelerator. Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce is also a brand ambassador for the brand. 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.

Trump will be featured in Accelerator campaigns and the energy drink will be woven into her social media. She joins Accelerator as an equity partner alongside Dunne.

“An energy drink with natural caffeine like Accelerator is so important to ensuring I stay focused and have extra energy when I’m in the gym, on the golf course, studying, traveling or as part of my daily routine,” Trump said in a statement. “Accelerator has an inspiring group of athlete partners that I look up to and it’s an honor to join the team. I can’t wait to jump in with Accelerator and I’m looking forward to what the future holds in our partnership.”

With a rising social media profile and commitment to Miami, the 18-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. 98 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.

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.

“We are honored to have Kai join the Accelerator team as she becomes an NIL superstar ahead of her collegiate golf career,” Accelerator CEO Andrew Wilkinson said. “Kai has a very busy schedule, including golf, content creation, travel and much more and Accelerator is the perfect solution to providing her the sustained energy without sugar while she’s on the go. We are excited to see all she is going to accomplish in the years ahead as she becomes a leading voice in NIL and beyond.”
