Trump's Family Member Seeks Professional Guidance from Tiger Woods Prior to LPGA First Appearance

The young golfer will have plenty of well-known backers as she starts her LPGA debut on Thursday.

This teenage golfer, who is related to Donald Trump, obtained a sponsor's invitation to participate at the Annika tournament in Florida.

Her grandfather, an avid golfer, operates several golf courses and regularly matches against his granddaughter.

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

The golfer shared that Trump, who won't be present, advised her: "Simply don't get nervous."

"My grandpa basically suggested to compete and have fun," she continued.

"To me, he's simply an ordinary family member. He won't be there this weekend. He's focused on running the country, so he's quite busy."

As an amateur, Kai has played in just three tournaments in 2024 and has ranking 461 in AJGA standings.

But she can receive tips from golf legend, in a relationship with Kai's mother.

"He represents the greatest golfer in the world," the young golfer said.

"Furthermore, he's an even better person. He suggested me to play, have fun, and go with the flow."

She'll challenge multiple most prominent players in professional golf at this tournament, including second-ranked Nelly Korda, England's Charley Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.

Tournament organizers mentioned that her participation exposes the sport to new audiences, particularly with youth audiences.

Kai maintains a massive following and just introduced a personal fashion and living brand.

The competition starts at late afternoon GMT.
