Kai Trump hangs with Bryson DeChambeau at Masters as mom’s boyfriend Tiger Woods enters rehab
Kai Trump made a trip to the Masters Tournament after the public fallout from Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest.
Trump’s mom, Vanessa, who is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., is dating Woods — and publicly supported the five-time Masters champ after he announced that he’s seeking treatment.
Taking to her Instagram, Kai shared a carousel post Thursday, showing her posing for a photo with LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and his caddie Greg Bodine at Augusta National Golf Club.
“What a special place 💚,” Kai — who will be playing college golf at Miami — wrote with a green heart emoji.
Her grandfather, President Donald Trump, and DeChambeau are friends.
It’s unclear if Vanessa made the trip to Augusta, Ga., as the 50-year-old Woods undergoes treatment abroad following his rollover crash in Florida on March 27.
A Florida judge granted the Woods’ request to travel outside of the U.S. to seek treatment away from media and public scrutiny.
Afterward, Vanessa publicly supported Woods, writing “Love you” in an Instagram Story post, which included a photo of the pair.
Woods said he was working toward a potential Masters return just days before his DUI arrest.
Woods, who blew zeros on his breathalyzer test, told an officer he took his prescription meds earlier in the day, according to an arrest affidavit by the Martin County Sheriff’s Department (Fla.).
Two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket during a search.
Woods was “sweating profusely,” and his movement was “lethargic and slow” while he was being interviewed by police, deputy Tatiana Levenar wrote in the affidavit — adding that his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and his pupils were “extremely dilated.”
In video footage from the arrest, Woods can be heard saying that he called President Trump before he was handcuffed.
Woods plead not guilty to the DUI charges.
His private jet was seen arriving in Zurich, Switzerland last Friday, where two of the top treatment centers — Paracelsus Recovery and Kusnacht Practice — are located.
Both facilities are known for exclusivity, privacy and a hefty price tag.

What is the cheapest city in Georgia to live with a roomate?
NJ apartment dwellers, renters have these options for help with rent
State and local officials say several programs are designed to help low and moderate-income households stay housed in the face of financial distress.
As rent prices continue to strain budgets, a new study is highlighting where Georgians can save the most by splitting housing costs.
According to a report from SmartAsset, some cities in Georgia offer major savings for renters who choose to live with a roommate.
Here’s what to know.
Where can you save the most in Georgia?
The study ranks Augusta as the top city in Georgia for roommate savings, and No. 6 in the country.
Renters there can save about 45% on monthly rent, or roughly $450 per month, by sharing an apartment.
Here’s how the costs compare in Augusta:
- One-bedroom rent: $1,000
- Two-bedroom rent: $1,100
- Estimated monthly savings with a roommate: $450
Why are roommate savings so high?
With rent prices rising, splitting costs has become one of the easiest ways to cut monthly expenses.
The study shows that sharing rent can significantly reduce housing costs, especially in cities where prices have climbed in recent years.
How does Georgia compare to the rest of the country?
Here’s the top 10 cities in the US for saving with a roomate:
- Cleveland, OH
- Baton Rouge, LA
- Jersey City, NJ
- Memphis, TN
- Boise, ID
- Augusta, GA
- New Haven, CT
- Chattanooga, TN
- Virginia Beach, VA
- Shreveport, LA
Methodology
The study analyzed 100 U.S. cities using rental data from March 2025 to March 2026 from Zumper, comparing one-bedroom rents to half the cost of two-bedroom apartments to estimate savings from sharing with a roommate.
