In an interview with Lara Trump on the Fox News show "My View with Lara Trump," Kai opened up about playing in her first LPGA, an experience that she described as more stressful than the Republican National Convention, where she was a speaker in 2024.
"The first day, I've never been more nervous in my entire life. That was like the RNC times 30, "she said. "It was very nerve-wracking for the nerves. I played well the first day and then the second day kinda went out there. I'm like no more nerve, like the nerves weren't as bad."

Kai also discussed her plans to continue playing golf for UM and her decision to commit to the school in August 2024. "It really just came down to the coaches," she said. "I love the program and I also didn't want to be so far away from home, because I don't know, I love coming back home, and I love our family, right? I love Florida ... Obviously, the school's great academics. And the team was awesome. And yeah, I mean, it was just a place I wanted to be."
