Trump's Family Member Receives Expert Tips from Tiger Woods Before Professional Golf First Appearance
This young athlete maintains impressive social media audience
Kai Trump can count on numerous prominent supporters when she starts her LPGA debut on Thursday.
The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be connected to Donald Trump, received a special exemption to participate at the Annika tournament in the Sunshine State.
Her grandfather, a passionate golfer, operates multiple international courses and often plays against Kai.
"He's pretty good. I can't say much but we have competitive games," she stated.
The golfer shared that her grandfather, unable to come, told her: "Just don't get nervous."
"My grandpa basically told me to go out there and relax," she added.
"To me, he's simply an ordinary family member. He's not attending this weekend. He's occupied with presidential duties, so he's rather occupied."
Being non-professional, the golfer has participated in just three tournaments this year and maintains the 461st position in the American Junior Golf Association standings.
But she can receive tips from 15-time major champion, in a relationship with Vanessa.
"He represents the greatest golfer globally," the young golfer said.
"Furthermore, he's a more impressive individual. He told me to play, enjoy myself, following the flow."
The golfer will compete against multiple the biggest names in the sport at the Annika, including world number two the champion, England's Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu.
Tournament organizers stated that Kai's presence helps introduce the sport to new audiences, particularly with younger fans.
Kai boasts substantial online presence and has started an exclusive clothing and lifestyle label.
She begins at late afternoon GMT.
