Kai Trump leaves mum red-faced with joke about Tiger Woods romance | Other | Sport

Kai Trump playfully teased her mum, Vanessa, about her relationship with golf legend Tiger Woods during a Q&A video on her YouTube channel, where the pair appeared together. Kai peppered her mum with a series of questions, and one in particular sparked an awkward moment about Tiger.

When Kai asked when she last decorated cookies, Vanessa replied: “I’d say around Christmas… maybe Valentine’s Day cookies.” Kai quickly cut in with, “Is love in the air?” prompting Vanessa to laugh and respond, “Oh my gosh. Nice trick question, Kai… I wasn’t born yesterday.”

Vanessa has been dating Woods for nearly a year after the pair met through their children, who attend The Benjamin School in Florida. They went public with their relationship last March after quietly dating for several months.

Kai, who will join the University of Miami to play collegiate golf in 2026, admitted that her mum occasionally gets the better of her on the course. “I taught all my kids to play golf. I didn’t teach them personally, but I brought them to [play],” Vanessa replied when asked if she liked the sport.

“I’m not a golfer, I was a tennis player. [But] I do love Putt Putt. I just love putting. I spent a lot of time practicing putting, and I do love golf.”

Kai then admitted: “It’s funny though because she’s actually beat me at putting a few times. I’m not the best putter. I am a great putter in tournaments here and there, but somehow you always, I don’t know.”
