Kai Trump has officially signed with Leaf Trading Cards, marking her entry and first official announcement into the world of NIL deals.
On Monday, Leaf promoted the launch of the Kai Trump Autograph Pack via X and Instagram. Priced at $199.99, the pack features ultra-low parallels and rare inscriptions and includes one random autograph card.
With this deal, the future Miami Hurricane joins a star-studded roster of high-profile athletes signed by Leaf, including LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers, Miami quarterback Cam Ward, and Florida quarterback DJ Lagway.
What makes this partnership particularly special for the Benjamin junior is that it positions her as one of the first amateurs in golf to capitalize on this type of opportunity.
As trading cards gain traction in the NIL landscape, Leaf has already made a name for itself as a major player in the trading card market. Teaming up with Trump sheds light on the potential opportunities amateur golfers have in NIL.
In addition to Leaf, card brands like Topps and Panini have been maximizing their presence in the NIL arena. Last year, Upper Deck joined the space, committing to focus on gender equality.
