Vanessa Trump has revealed the personal struggles she experienced as her eldest daughter, Kai, navigated a pivotal chapter in her young life as the teenager is busy preparing to go to college.

The 47-year-old mother of five offered a rare and heartfelt glimpse into her maternal perspective during a recent video on her daughter’s YouTube channel. In a cooking competition segment between the pair.

And although her relationship with golf icon Tiger Woods has drawn media attention since it was made public in March 2025, it is Vanessa’s role as a mother that continues to resonate most strongly with the public.

Eventually the discussion shifted from recipes to revelations, as Vanessa spoke vulnerably about the emotional toll of helping her baby prepare to go to university to chase a degree.

“We visited quite a few colleges, this past summer, which was an emotional roller coaster,” Vanessa shared. “When your kid goes away, you want them to pick the school they want to go to.

“But inside I also want her to go not too far.”

Kai Trump’s college pick: Where will the golfer play?

Kai, a promising golfer and social media influencer with over 1.16 million subscribers on YouTube, was evaluating several universities for her academic and athletic future and eventually landed on the University of Miami.

This strikes a pretty good middle ground for the mother and daughter, who take comfort in the final decision as the golf prospect signs on with the Hurricanes for the 2026 NCAA season.

“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami,” Kai said in a statement. “I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don [Trump Jr.], for always supporting me through my journey.

“I would like to thank my Grandpa [Trump Sr.] for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support.”

Trump, the sitting president of the United States, owns numerous golf properties worldwide from the USA to Scotland, Ireland, the UAE, and Indonesia and has served as a key part of Kai’s development.

He provided her with a unique foundation for pursuing competitive golf from a young age, and now she can also learn from a true master of the sport as her mother has started dating Tiger Woods too.

Woods, who has won 15 majors and ranks second of all-time in majors won, could potentially pass on the secrets of the trade if he becomes a step-father figure, although he is currently busy teaching his own son, Charlie, how to play.

Recently, both golf prospects competed at the 41st Nicklaus Junior Championship, and it was Charlie who ended up with the family bragging rights as he left the two-round event placing 25th out of 36, whilst Kai was last in her pool.

NBA Cup live updates: Thunder leading Suns; Spurs-Lakers up later

Few double-digit leads in the NBA seem safe these days. Still, it feels like a long time since I’ve seen a first half take a 180-degree turn the way Tuesday night’s Heat-Magic quarterfinal did.Miami stormed to a 15-0 lead, and Orlando could not generate any stops or turnovers and, therefore, could not push forward in transition. If the last few seasons have taught the NBA nothing else about the Magic (other than how hard the team plays and its physicality, especially on defense), it’s that their offense has been weak when opponents force them to play in the half-court.Orlando no doubt initially felt the absence of its best two-way player, Franz Wagner, who suffered a left high-ankle sprain Sunday. Without Wagner, the Magic looked rudderless … at first.What changed?The Magic finally ramped up their defense, keyed by Jonathan Isaac off […]

Michigan coaching candidates: Kalen DeBoer, Marcus Freeman among options after sudden Sherrone Moore firing

As soon as it seemed like the college football coaching carousel was finally slowing down, Michigan announced it had fired Sherrone Moore for cause after an investigation revealed an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. The Wolverines becoming a late entry to the coaching search fray throws a real wrench in this offseason. We saw a ton of coaches sign fresh contract extensions after turning down openings at Penn State, Florida and Auburn, but Michigan may be a different beast. It is one of the best jobs in the country in terms of resources, and teams with a top-tier coach they haven't locked into an extension already may have to get ready to fight to keep their coach in town. Michigan hired Moore to keep things on track after Jim Harbaugh left for the NFL, but they never quite reached those same heights, […]

David Pastrnak’s return ignites Bruins as Jets fight slump

Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images The Boston Bruins go for their second straight win since David Pastrnak's return from injury and fourth in a row overall when they continue a three-game road swing through the Central Division with a Thursday night visit to the Winnipeg Jets. The 29-year-old Pastrnak showed no ill effects from a five-game injury absence in the Bruins' 5-2 win Tuesday over former coach Jim Montgomery's St. Louis Blues, recording three assists, three shots and a plus-2 rating while skating alongside 23-year-old Marat Khusnutdinov and 21-year-old Fraser Minten (two goals) on the third line. "Just three young kids playing together," Pastrnak joked. "It was fun." Pastrnak's return meant additional lineup […]

NFL predictions: How Week 15 Thursday Night Football matchup vs. Falcons impacts Buccaneers’ playoff chances

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won five of their first six games of the 2025 NFL season and gave the impression that they would cruise to their fifth consecutive NFL South title and the 11th division crown in franchise history. But they've lost five of their last seven contests and are clinging to first place, with a pair of crucial matchups against the Carolina Panthers remaining on their schedule.Before worrying about those showdowns, Tampa Bay (7-6) must take care of business against another division rival as it opens Week 15 by hosting the Atlanta Falcons (4-9) at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football at Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers dropped a 24-20 decision to the lowly New Orleans Saints at home last week and are tied for first place in the NFC South with the Panthers (7-6), who upset the […]

Sherrone Moore buyout: What’s left on the Michigan coach’s contract after he was fired ‘for cause’

Imagn Images Sherrone Moore's tenure as Michigan's coach came to an abrupt end on Wednesday after he was fired. Moore was terminated for cause by the school after an internal investigation concluded the Wolverines' coach had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. "Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately," Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement. "Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior."Moore was tabbed Michigan's coach at the conclusion of the 2023 season after Jim Harbaugh departed to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. He finished 16-8 (11-6 in Big Ten play) in his two seasons with the program. Moore had been on Michigan's […]
