Share Post

This gift is par for the course.

President Trump’s oldest grandchild, Kai, revealed she’s giving the man who already has everything the only thing he really wanted for his 80th birthday — serious competition on the golf course.

“Honestly, we’re going to go play golf. That’s my gift,” she told The Post on Wednesday from the ESPYs red carpet at the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center.

Kai, 19, a competitive golfer, spent Trump’s birthday night last month alongside him for the Ultimate Fighting Championship match on the South Lawn of the White House to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

“Happy 80 Birthday Grandpa, I love you so much. So excited to celebrate today with you at UFC 250,” Kai, whose parents are Donald Jr. and Vanessa, posted on Instagram.

But the president’s favorite sport to watch is the one she plays.

“Golf,” she said, smiling.

“I would say golf for sure.”

The brunette beauty, whose mom is dating Tiger Woods, signed with the University of Miami women’s golf team for the 2026-2027 season.

She credited her grandfather, who owns 16 golf courses around the world, when she announced her verbal commitment to the team on Instagram, where she boasts over 3 million followers.

“I would like to thank my grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support,” she said.

The New York City native, who moved to Jupiter, Fla. at 13, revealed her favorite restaurants to stop in when she’s in town.

“I love going to Tao for dinner, that’s great. Avra’s amazing,” Kai said.

The athlete also makes sure she keeps moving while in NYC.

“I love walking down Madison, Park Avenue. I’ve been going for runs in the morning in Central Park,” she said.
