PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Kai Trump’s very first Instagram post from way back in February 2021 is suddenly grabbing eyeballs again.

The post features young Kai with golf legend Tiger Woods and her grandpa, President Donald Trump, in the frame. Fast forward a few years, and Tiger’s now dating her mom.

The 18-year-old rising golf star and granddaughter of the POTUS has racked up nearly two million followers with her charm and slick swing.

But some eagle-eyed fans are just now realizing that her humble social media debut came with an accidental prophecy that no one saw coming.

Kai Trump's prescient Instagram post

The now-viral photo — posted on February 21, 2021 — shows Kai Trump posing with Donald Trump and Tiger Woods on the green, shortly after the GOAT’s gnarly car crash. The then-14-year-old captioned it, “Wishing Tiger luck and a speedy recovery. Also wishing his family all the best in these incredibly trying times. Get well soon! #goat #tigerwoods.”

At the time, it was just a heartfelt gesture. Now, that same post reads like a crystal ball.

As the Irish Star pointed out, some fans have been going back to the post with raised eyebrows after realizing the Tiger angle.

“Ironic this is her first post when he’s now dating her mom,” one follower wrote.

Donald Trump Jr's ex-wife Vanessa Trump and golf legend reportedly started their romance around Thanksgiving 2024. They went Insta-official in March, but have otherwise kept things under wraps.

Meanwhile, Kai is thriving. She's set to play college golf at the University of Miami starting in 2026 — and her grandfather has made it clear he’s all in on that move. While the POTUS might be ducking golf memes, he’s got every reason to brag about his granddaughter.

Kai Trump's million-dollar swing and presidential endorsements

Kai Trump’s NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) game is rather elite. Her reported valuation stands at a casual $1.2 million and climbing.

In just the last few months, she’s signed with Accelerator Active Energy, an energy drink brand with a roster that includes Livvy Dunne and NFL heartthrob Travis Kelce. She broke the news on July 15 while standing at the podium at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

“To all fellow Americans and content creators… I’ve partnered and invested in Accelerator," she declared.

Gymnast-turned-influencer Livvy even slid into the comments section and warmly greeted the Trump scion. “Welcome to the team," she wrote.

Before that, Kai had already inked a deal with Leaf Trading Cards, a Dallas-based brand that sells her signed cards at $200 a pack.

In the blink of an eye, Kai has gone from first tee to first class. Thanks to her booming social media presence, which notably includes a hit YouTube channel, she’s reportedly worth $21 million. That’s five times more than her famous grandfather.
