🔗 Share this article Trump's Granddaughter Seeks Professional Advice from Tiger Woods Prior to LPGA First Appearance The rising star has substantial social media audience Kai Trump can count on plenty of high-profile supporters as she starts her professional golf debut on Thursday. The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of a former US president, obtained a tournament invitation to participate at Florida's Annika event in the Sunshine State. The former president, an avid golfer, operates numerous international courses and often plays against Kai. "He's fairly competent. I can't reveal details but we play some close matches," she revealed. The golfer shared that Trump, who cannot attend, told her: "Simply don't get nervous." "He essentially advised me to go out there and relax," she explained. "From my perspective, he's just a normal grandpa. He won't be there for the tournament. He's focused on running the country, making him rather occupied." As an amateur, the golfer has competed in only three events recently and holds position 461 in the American Junior Golf Association standings. Yet she's able to seek guidance from 15-time major champion, who is dating Vanessa. "He is the best player worldwide," Kai stated. "Additionally, he's a more impressive individual. He suggested me to go out there, enjoy myself, adapting to whatever happens." The golfer will compete against some of most prominent players in the sport at this tournament, such as world number two the champion, England's Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and last year's winner champion Vu. Tournament organizers stated that her participation brings golf to wider groups, specifically reaching younger fans. The young star maintains substantial online presence and has started an exclusive clothing and lifestyle label. She begins at late afternoon GMT.
