Trump's Family Member Gets Expert Guidance from Tiger Woods Prior to LPGA First Appearance
This young athlete maintains impressive social media audience
The young golfer will have plenty of well-known backers as she starts her first LPGA appearance on Thursday.
The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of Donald Trump, received a tournament invitation to compete at the Annika tournament in Florida.
The former president, a passionate golfer, owns multiple golf courses and regularly competes against Kai.
"He's fairly competent. I can't reveal details but we play tight competitions," she mentioned.
She mentioned that her grandfather, who cannot attend, advised her: "Simply stay calm."
"He basically suggested to go out there and enjoy myself," she explained.
"To me, he's simply a regular grandfather. He can't make it this weekend. He's focused on running the country, making him rather occupied."
As an amateur, the golfer has played in only three events recently and holds the 461st position in the American Junior Golf Association listings.
Yet she can seek guidance from Tiger Woods, in a relationship with her mother.
"He stands as the best player globally," the young golfer said.
"Furthermore, he's a superior person. He told me to compete, relax, and go with the flow."
The golfer will compete against some of top competitors in women's golf at the Annika, such as world number two the champion, England's Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.
Officials stated that involving Kai brings golf to wider groups, specifically with younger fans.
The social media influencer has substantial online presence and just introduced a personal fashion and living label.
The competition starts at late afternoon GMT.
