🔗 Share this article The former president's Granddaughter Receives Professional Tips from Tiger Woods Ahead of LPGA Debut This young athlete has substantial online presence Kai Trump will have plenty of prominent backers as she begins her first LPGA appearance later this week. The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be connected to a former US president, received a tournament invitation to participate at the Annika tournament in Florida. Her grandfather, someone who loves golf, owns numerous international courses and frequently plays against Kai. "He's quite skilled. I shouldn't elaborate but we have some close matches," she stated. She mentioned that her grandfather, unable to come, advised her: "Just stay calm." "My grandpa basically advised me to go out there and have fun," she continued. "In my eyes, he's just a normal grandpa. He won't be there this weekend. He's focused on running the country, so he's somewhat preoccupied." Being non-professional, the golfer has participated in just three tournaments this year and maintains position 461 in AJGA standings. But she's able to get advice from 15-time major champion, who is dating her mother. "He stands as the greatest golfer globally," the young golfer said. "And he's an even better human being. He advised me to compete, relax, following whatever happens." She'll challenge some of top competitors in professional golf at the competition, such as second-ranked the champion, England's golfer Hull, professional Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu. The LPGA stated that involving Kai helps introduce the sport to wider groups, specifically with the next generation. The social media influencer maintains substantial online presence and has started her own clothing and lifestyle company. The competition starts at late afternoon GMT.
