🔗 Share this article Trump's Granddaughter Seeks Professional Advice from Golf Legend Woods Prior to LPGA Debut The rising star has substantial social media audience The young golfer can count on multiple high-profile supporters as she starts her first LPGA appearance later this week. The 18-year-old athlete, who is connected to a former US president, received a tournament invitation to compete at Florida's Annika event in Florida. Her grandfather, a passionate golfer, owns numerous golf courses and frequently plays against Kai. "He's pretty good. I can't say much but we have tight competitions," she revealed. Kai explained that Trump, who won't be present, told her: "Simply stay calm." "He essentially advised me to go out there and relax," she continued. "In my eyes, he's just a regular grandfather. He can't make it for the tournament. He's occupied with presidential duties, so he's rather occupied." As an amateur, the golfer has played in only three events in 2024 and has the 461st position in AJGA rankings. However she's able to seek guidance from golf legend, in a relationship with Vanessa. "He represents the best player in the world," Kai stated. "Additionally, he's an even better human being. He advised me to go out there, enjoy myself, following the flow." Kai will face some of top competitors in women's golf at the Annika, featuring second-ranked the champion, British Charley Hull, professional Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu. The LPGA mentioned that Kai's presence helps introduce golf to new audiences, especially among youth audiences. The young star has substantial online presence and recently launched a personal apparel and wellness company. She begins at 5:30 PM GMT.
