Summary
- Miami freshman Kai Trump sustained a wrist injury during her first college golf tournament.
- A hard impact with the ground during a shot caused the initial wrist pain.

Kai Trump, a freshman golfer at the University of Miami, experienced a painful wrist injury during her first collegiate tournament, the Golfweek Fall Challenge. The incident occurred when her club struck a hard object, possibly a cart path, hidden beneath the ground, causing immediate discomfort.
Trump continued playing but the injury worsened later in the round. Medical evaluations revealed damage to cartilage and ligaments, though not a complete tear. She is receiving stem cell injections from pain management specialist Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers to facilitate healing.
The injury impacted her performance at the Caledonia Golf & Fish Club in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where she finished tied for 102nd place. This setback adds to an already emotional start to her college life, as she recently documented her tearful departure from home.
Despite the challenges, Trump expressed excitement for her new chapter at the University of Miami, though the transition proved difficult. Her immediate focus is on recovering from the wrist injury to resume her college golf aspirations.
