Kai Trump’s Masters Photos From Inside Augusta Prompt Questions Over Phone Rules

Her Instagram posts revived questions about Augusta’s policy on phones and cameras during Masters week.

Overview

  • Trump, an 18-year-old University of Miami golf commit, shared a Thursday Instagram carousel from Augusta National that included a posed photo with Bryson DeChambeau and his caddie Greg Bodine.
  • The on-course images drew scrutiny because Augusta bans phones during tournament play, though cameras are allowed on practice days and some patrons receive club-issued phone stickers, according to a Golf.com reporter cited by the Daily Mail.
  • DeChambeau opened the Masters with a four-over 76 that left him T56 on the leaderboard, and he said he needs sharper iron play heading into Friday.
  • The visit unfolded as Tiger Woods, who is dating Trump’s mother Vanessa, missed the tournament after a March DUI-related rollover in Florida and traveled to Switzerland for treatment with a judge’s approval, according to law enforcement records and outlet reports.
  • Butch Harmon said President Donald Trump does not match Augusta National’s member profile, highlighting the club’s tightly held standards and traditions.
