Kai Trump’s college golf career is on hold almost as soon as it started.

The 19-year-old granddaughter of United States President Donald Trump announced on social media earlier this week that she underwent a second surgery on her left wrist after aggravating an injury during the Golfweek Fall Classic last month. It was the first tournament of her freshman season on the University of Miami women’s golf team.

The left wrist is the same one she had surgery on earlier this year to address damage to the stabilizing tissues of her ECU tendon and fibrocartilage complex. There was no timetable for a return disclosed.

Kai Trump, President Donald Trump’s oldest granddaughter, has carved out a lane for herself in the family. Whether it’s golfing alongside some of the world’s top professional golfers or at one of Donald Trump’s courses, playing for her school or working alongside her political family, see her life in photos from childhood to now.

“While I had hoped to avoid surgery, after talks with my family, coaches, and athletic training staff I know I made the best decision for my long-term health and my future in the game I love,” Trump wrote in an Instagram post on Oct. 14, which also included a selfie of her wearing a sling in a hospital bed. “It’s certainly not how I envisioned the next few months, but sometimes the journey takes an unexpected turn, and I’m choosing to embrace this one with patience, and a whole lot of determination.”

Trump previously revealed she re-injured her wrist after the Golfweek Fall Classic, when a shot near a cart path struck unexpectedly hard ground beneath the grass. She finished tied for 102nd in the 120-player field and then made another tournament start at the Golfweek Put Me In Coach Invitational. Trump finished at 27-over 243, carding rounds of 86 and 80 in the first day of competition before closing in 77.
