'Big Things to Come': Kai Trump Announces New Partnership With The Net Return

Kai Trump is establishing her commercial portfolio even before she has played her first collegiate game. The young amateur golfer and granddaughter of American President Donald Trump has bagged yet another brand deal with The Net Return, the maker of golf training equipment.

"Excited to join The Net Return team! Women's golf is reaching new heights, and I'm proud to partner with a brand that's helping grow the game by making practice more accessible, enjoyable, and inspiring for players of all ages," Trump announced on her social media on June 25. "Looking forward to taking my training to the next level. Big things to come."

This will be Trump’s first year of college at the University of Miami, and the announcement comes at a time when Trump’s NIL value has already crossed the seven-figure mark, making her one of the most marketable college golfers in the nation before even starting college.

Additionally, the Net Return partnership is a perfect fit for the athlete's NIL portfolio, which already consists of multiple verticals.

In terms of endorsements, Trump has an agreement with TaylorMade Golf, an equity partnership with Accelerator Active Energy, KT Clothing merchandise, and a memorabilia agreement with Leaf Trading Cards.

In fact, the road to Miami for her began way back in August 2024 with Trump’s social media announcement about her verbal commitment.

"I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami," she wrote at the time, thanking her family and coaching staff.

Two years is definitely enough time to build business infrastructure around her debut as a college athlete, and The Net Return is yet another brand placing its bets on her popularity before her highly anticipated freshman year.

Outside of golfing, Trump has also been equally busy, giving her 1.5 million YouTube followers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of one of her grandfather's most significant summer gatherings.

Kai Trump Takes Fans Inside UFC Freedom 250 and the White House

In her most recent YouTube vlog, Trump shares about attending UFC Freedom 250, which was held at the White House as part of America's 250th year celebrations and the President's birthday celebration.

She was first seen preparing herself for the event, and then viewers were taken through the corridors of history in the White House, where she narrated personal stories related to her childhood.

"I used to play soccer in these halls," she informed the viewers during the tour.

The tour included a stop inside the Oval Office. "Everything's gold, because my grandpa hates gold… that's a joke, he loves gold. It's his favorite thing on the planet," Trump joked while pointing out personal touches added by the President.

In the course of the night, Trump made herself comfortable ringside to film President Trump and UFC president Dana White coming into the arena, where she captured the President shaking hands with the fighters before they entered the ring.

She then finished off her vlog by showing herself in the Octagon post-event.

The video demonstrates a trend for Trump himself, considering that his YouTube channel has 1.5 million subscribers, and this is largely due to his behind-the-scenes videos, which constantly gather millions of views.
