I know nothing about this girl other than she is related to Trump and probably shouldn't have been in this event.

But this just isn't true. There are a ton of not great golfers in women's college golf, much less when they were in high school.

And it's not like she only shot an 83, she shot a respectable 75 as well. Which would even further eliminate the amount of girls that could so that.

Saying “it’s insane a high school golfer shot 83 at a pro event” is just completely wrong. It isn’t insane at all for a D1 commit. It’s more common than not

I have no issue with her getting a sponsor invite. But the comment was wrong, completely wrong

I would expect every single golf commit for LSU to do that for instance

I agree. Just saying your comment was equally insane.

Just doing a quick look at LSU's last 5 tournaments or so. It's clear the #5 golfer on LSU's team averages about 78-79. She the clear #5 roster spot. There are 9 girls on the team. Presumably the 78-79 average girl is better than the other four girls.

Seems like the Trump girl is at least as good and probably better than the #5 starter on LSU's team, a top tier program, because that girls isn't shooting 75 in a pro event/course/distance. The majority of college golfers would not be as good as her, much less 75% of them being able to do that in a pro event.

The 83 isn't impressive, but the 75 in your first ever tour event as a high schoolers very solid golf.

I think it was pretty close.

My person opinion - no - 75% would not break 83 - if you shrunk it to Power 4 schools and a few group of 5 conferences then yes - I’d say 65% of those recruits would shoot the same or better
He is correct that it does need to be clarified it’s the power 5 schools

I wouldn’t expect demalw golfers from some schools like southeastern to even break 90

Not bullshite at all. The majority of high school golfers committed to any power 5 school would break 83 at a pro event

Crawfish out of what? It is not impressive for a college commit to shoot 83 in a pro event. Sorry, it isn’t. Look at the fricking guy whose daughter is about to be one saying 65% of commits would do it from any school we actually give a shite about.

An 18 yr old Miami commit shooting 83 is not noteworthy in the slightest freaking bit. It isn’t.

Congrats if you think your gotcha is saying a commit to Ferris state wouldn’t do it

ETA:

Mardy Fish, a pro tennis player, shot 81 and 74 in a PGA event…..both sides are being asinine regarding this Trump story. It’s not a big deal she got an invite and her scores and results also aren’t a big deal

no they couldn't. D! womens golf is full of average golfers. It's one of the easiest sports for girls to get an athletic scholarship. A lot of schools struggle to even fill all their available scholarships. There are 249 schools that compete in D1 and 8 girls on each team. That's approximately 2000 D1 golfers. No, 1500 of those aren't easily shooting 75-83 in a pro event. Just go look at some of the amateur sponsors invites and see how they typically perform


Being a former college golfer (D1) and seeing the girls on our team at the time and scores of their tournaments, this is 100% correct.

This is what I'm talking about.

The very first post ITT you responded to was:

"Even the 83 for a high schooler in a pro event is insane. The 75 is unreal"

Your response was
"None of this is true

There are a shite ton of high school golfers that would break 80 in a pro event"

Now you have completely moved the goalposts to "It is not impressive for a college golfer to shoot 83 in a pro event."

That wasn't the discussion you argued with smooth brain. You said it wasn't impressive for a high school (not college) golfer to shoot 83-75 in a pro event.

Then, you started talking completely out of your arse saying "Dude 75% of D1 commits could break 83 at a pro event as a high school senior" and then crawfished to "well, actually I meant power conference golfers"

You. are. a. clown. You just say shite without any basis for your opinion and fact checking yourself and them, instead of saying "yeah, sorry, I was way off on that," you just dig in deeper and try to gaslight who you're talking to. It's honestly amazing

My man, I gave you actual data from other college girls who got sponsors invites last year in LPGA events. They came from Arkansas, Duke, Pepperdine, and Oregon St. All those girls performed as poorly or even worse than Kai Trump, and they are active P4 college golfers, not juniors in high school. Are you incapable of having an honest argument?

I argued it wasn’t insane for a high school senior golfer to shoot 83 at a pro event


I 100% stand by that statement. It isn’t. Making the cut and competing would be “insane”.

You are arguing just because it is me. My comment responding to the 84 being insane was 100% accurate. It isn’t.

No, you argued that neither the 83 nor the 75 were impressive. Again, stop crawfishing. Just own your dumb arse comments and admit where you were wrong. It's not hard.

Nope

My very first quote is below , in response to this.

quote:

I stand by that vehemently. I do not think what Kai trump did is insane or even UNREAL for a college golf commit. And it isn’t. And you know that. What she did is 100% EXPECTED for a Miami commit. She shot 13 over par and missed the cut.

Yeah that's fricking idiotic as well my man. No, they wouldn't.

Shooting 83-75 at a pro event as a high schooler is better than what a lot of active D1 golfers have actually done in pro events. So, if you want to use actual results/data as a barometer, then yes it is impressive. If you want to ignore it completely and just talk to talk, then maybe not. I think you vastly, vastly overestimate how good the average D1 female golfer is, even at the power conference level. I think you just assume they're all pretty good.

Miami womens golf finished almost dead last in the ACC championship in 2025. As a team, they shot 38 over par over 3 days. Their #5 golfer (they have 8 total on the team), shot 76-73-80 over the three days.

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
