Kai Trump and Caitlin Clark have reportedly agreed to participate in a $10 million golf competition, according to Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

Portnoy achieved massive success with his company’s first ‘Internet Invitational,’ which brought together numerous golf influencers and sports media figures for a $1 million event. The tournament, which featured plenty of controversy and excitement, was released as a YouTube series in recent weeks and garnered millions of viewers.

Portnoy has indicated his intention to expand the concept for a second season, with President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, among his desired participants. The 18 year old made her LPGA Tour debut last week, placing last at The Annika in Florida.

The high school senior, who has committed to playing college golf at the University of Miami in 2026, faced challenges adjusting to the professional level in her inaugural event.

Trump posted a 13-over-par 83 on day one at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, before bouncing back with a three-over-par 73, ultimately missing the cut by a significant margin.

However, Portnoy remains determined to include Trump in the lineup for the next ‘Internet Invitational,’ alongside WNBA sensation Clark, who participated in the pro-am at The Annika.

Portnoy claims both athletes have provisionally accepted his invitation. He revealed on ‘The Unnamed Show’: “I’ve invited two people so far, they’ve both said yes,” Portnoy said.

“I don’t know how serious the yesses are. Caitlin said yes; Kai Trump said yes. Those are my two that I’ve asked. Whether push comes to shove, and those two are available and do it, who knows?”.

The inaugural ‘Internet Invitational’ already proved a major draw for younger golf enthusiasts, but adding stars like Trump and Clark would certainly spark even greater mainstream attention.

Trump’s LPGA Tour debut revealed she possesses skill but still needs considerable development before she can compete professionally. Though she finished at the bottom after 36 holes last week, the teenager responded with grace and maturity.

“What an incredible honor and opportunity to compete in my first LPGA Tour Event at The Annika,” she posted on Instagram. “This week was an absolute dream come true. There are so many amazing people I want to thank for making it happen and for being so supportive.

“You all made this week so special for me. It was a lifelong dream to play in a LPGA event, and this is just the start. I learned so much about my game and myself out there.

“I was so impressed by all the LPGA players I met and got to watch as well. I’m going to use this experience to keep growing as a person and as a golfer. Thank you all for the support!”.
