Kai Trump pointed to her ears and told Kevin Hart, 'I can't hear you from up here.'
Hart was on hand at the event to film several live episodes of his Cold As Balls podcast from freezing-cold tubs, but took the time for the session on the artificial greens.
After Kai sealed her win with a perfect shot from 20 feet out, Hart seemed to complain about the loss, as the 5-foot-9 recent high school grad taunted him, "I can't hear you from up here," seemingly referring to his height.
The two shared a high-five as the Jumanji star joked that she waited until the last putt to overtake him.
"She purposely waited for the last one. Does that count for my round?" Hart asked as Kai joked, "You're done, you're going home now."

Kai Trump Trolled Over 'Orange' ESPYs Spray Tan
Kai Trump was mocked for her 'orange' spray tan at the 2026 ESPYs.
Unfortunately for Kai, she was mocked online for two separate red-carpet moments.
First, she was roasted over her "orange" spray tan, with users on X commenting that "she must go to the same tanning salon as her grandpa!" while a second sneered, "She inherited the Oompa-Loompa skin tone."
Kai also found herself under fire after insisting to a red carpet reporter that she "stays out of politics completely" because it's "just not my thing."
Critics were quick to call out the claim, pointing to her frequent appearances alongside President Trump on social media and at high-profile events. The teen influencer has joined her grandfather at the White House for the UFC Freedom 250 fights and 4th of July celebrations, and was also by his side at a New York Knicks NBA Finals game in June after attending as his guest.
Kai ended up making YouTube vlogs about all three occasions, sharing them with her 1.5 million subscribers.
