Trump's Granddaughter Seeks Expert Tips from Golf Legend Woods Prior to LPGA Debut

Kai Trump can count on numerous well-known supporters as she begins her first LPGA appearance this Thursday.

The 18-year-old athlete, who is connected to a former US president, obtained a sponsor's invitation to play at Florida's Annika event in Florida.

Her grandfather, a passionate golfer, possesses multiple international courses and frequently matches against his granddaughter.

"He's pretty good. I can't say much but we have some close matches," she revealed.

She mentioned that Trump, who won't be present, counseled her: "Just avoid anxiety."

"He practically suggested to compete and relax," she continued.

"From my perspective, he's simply a normal grandpa. He's not attending this weekend. He's occupied with running the country, making him rather occupied."

Being non-professional, the golfer has participated in just three tournaments recently and holds the 461st position in AJGA standings.

However she's able to get advice from golf legend, who is dating Kai's mother.

"He represents the best player in the world," Kai stated.

"And he's a more impressive individual. He advised me to compete, have fun, and go with whatever happens."

She'll challenge multiple the biggest names in the sport at the Annika, including world number two the champion, British golfer Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.

Officials commented that involving Kai brings golf to new audiences, specifically among younger fans.

The social media influencer has substantial online presence and has started an exclusive clothing and lifestyle company.

She begins at late afternoon GMT.
