Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai accused of being DEI following announcement about Tiger Woods’ son Charlie

Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai has been accused of being a 'DEI golfer', after she's set to take on Tiger Wood's son.

The president is a keen golfer, having opened his own course - Trump International Golf Club - in 2012.

The club is set in Palm Beach, Florida, and is set to have cost $45 million to construct.

And it seems Trump's love for golf has been passed down two generations, as his granddaughter Kai is also keen on the sport.

The 17-year-old recently committed to play women's golf at the University of Miami, and already runs a highly successful YouTube channel with over a million subscribers, documenting her journey.

It was announced earlier this week that Kai is set to take on Tiger Woods' son Charlie Woods, in a tournament for the nation's top junior golfers.

Tiger Woods is a close family friend of the Trumps, as the two could be seen playing a round of golf together just before the president's inauguration in January.

Kai and Charlie will be among 60 expected competitors in the invite-only competition.

But many people on social media are accusing the 17-year-old of being a 'DEI golfer'.

DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion) programs were introduced by the Biden Administration, to create fairer opportunities for marginalised communities within America.

However, Trump previously described it as an 'illegal and immoral discrimination program', which is a 'public waste'.

After being sworn into office in January, the president has promised to defund DEI programs.

Another agreed, adding: "Kai Trump is definitely DEI, she's only there because of his name."

A third wrote: "DEI picked to be alongside an actual earned position."

But others in the comments defended the influencer, writing: "Someone has absolutely no idea what DEI is."

Another said: "Awesome! Both of these young adults are great talented golfers."

Other people described Kai as a 'nepo baby', accusing her of only competing in the tournament because of her last name.

One said: "I guess Nepo Golfers is a thing now."

Another agreed, adding: "Grandpa owns the fields."

Kai made herself known during Trump's election campaign, and even gave a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

"I'm speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see," she said.
