🔗 Share this article The former president's Family Member Gets Professional Tips from Golf Legend Woods Prior to LPGA First Appearance The rising star maintains considerable online presence Kai Trump will have numerous well-known backers when she starts her first LPGA appearance this Thursday. The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of Donald Trump, received a special exemption to participate at Florida's Annika event in the Sunshine State. Her grandfather, someone who loves golf, operates multiple golf courses and often competes against Kai. "He's pretty good. I can't reveal details but we have competitive games," she revealed. The golfer shared that Trump, who won't be present, counseled her: "Simply stay calm." "He basically told me to play and relax," she continued. "To me, he's just a normal grandpa. He won't be there for the tournament. He's occupied with running the country, so he's quite busy." While still amateur, Kai has participated in a mere three competitions this year and has ranking 461 in AJGA rankings. But she's able to get advice from Tiger Woods, who is dating Kai's mother. "He stands as the greatest golfer globally," Kai stated. "Additionally, he's a more impressive person. He told me to compete, enjoy myself, and go with the flow." Kai will face multiple most prominent players in professional golf at the competition, such as world number two the champion, British Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu. Officials stated that Kai's presence helps introduce the sport to different demographics, particularly among youth audiences. The social media influencer has a massive following and just introduced her own apparel and wellness label. She begins at 17:30 GMT.
