The former president's Family Member Receives Professional Guidance from Tiger Woods Ahead of Professional Golf Debut

Emerging athlete preparing for significant tournament

The rising star has substantial online following

Kai Trump will have numerous well-known supporters when she starts her LPGA debut on Thursday.

This teenage golfer, who happens to be the granddaughter of a former US president, obtained a sponsor's invitation to participate at the Annika tournament in Florida.

Her grandfather, an avid golfer, possesses several courses worldwide and frequently plays against his granddaughter.

"He's fairly competent. I can't say much but we play competitive games," she stated.

The golfer shared that her grandfather, unable to come, advised her: "Simply avoid anxiety."

"He practically advised me to go out there and have fun," she added.

"To me, he's simply a normal grandpa. He's not attending this weekend. He's occupied with world affairs, making him rather occupied."

Being non-professional, Kai has competed in just three tournaments recently and holds the 461st position in the American Junior Golf Association rankings.

However she's able to get advice from 15-time major champion, romantically involved with her mother.

"He is the greatest golfer worldwide," Kai expressed.

"And he's a more impressive individual. He suggested me to play, have fun, following the flow."

The golfer will compete against some of the biggest names in professional golf at the Annika, featuring second-ranked the champion, British golfer Hull, professional Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu.

Officials stated that Kai's presence brings golf to different demographics, specifically among younger fans.

The social media influencer has a massive following and has started her own clothing and lifestyle label.

She begins at 17:30 GMT.
