She credited her grandfather and POTUS for her ‘hunger’, the trait she says she inherited from him, which has given her the ability to manage so many things at once.
Ms Trump has committed to attend the University of Miami, where she will play Division I golf.
She celebrated her 19th birthday in May and graduated from high school. She had attended The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaking to PEOPLE, one source based in Jupiter, Florida, described the YouTuber as being 'extremely focused on golf', adding: "She has demonstrated the discipline to continue with it and go as far as she can.
"She is a good player. I think she will improve a great deal under the right coaching."
UoM's women's golf team finished in 10th at this year's ACC Championships, an achievement Kai reportedly hopes to continue to in 2027.
"Kai was impressed with the team in Miami and is excited about going to school there," the insider continued.
Since her grandfather was inaugurated into the White House for a second time last January, her following has grown.
President Trump praised his granddaughter for her golfing skills as he also enjoys partaking in the sport. In a video shared earlier this year, he said: "I just wanna say that I play a lot of golf with Kai and she’s a fantastic golfer."
He added: "She's a scratch player, which is amazing. I think some day in the not-too-distant future, she’s gonna be much better than scratch. But she’s doing really well, and she wins a lot of matches.
"And some day she’ll be able to beat her grandfather, but I’m not sure when that’ll be - it might be a long time."
Trump has spoken about her grandfather before, inlcluding an appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast.
"He's very cool," Paul gushed. "Way cooler than I thought he would be. The way I described him was, like, similar to the way you [Kai] described him - it's like, 'Oh, he's a cool grandpa'."
Kai replied: "He's literally just a cool grandpa."
