The former president's Family Member Receives Expert Advice from Golf Legend Woods Ahead of LPGA Debut
This young athlete maintains impressive social media audience
The young golfer will have multiple high-profile cheerleaders as she begins her professional golf debut on Thursday.
The 18-year-old athlete, who is related to Donald Trump, obtained a sponsor's invitation to participate at the Annika tournament in Florida.
Her grandfather, someone who loves golf, operates several courses worldwide and regularly plays against his granddaughter.
"He's fairly competent. I can't say much but we have some close matches," she revealed.
She mentioned that Trump, unable to come, counseled her: "Simply stay calm."
"My grandpa basically told me to go out there and enjoy myself," she continued.
"From my perspective, he's simply an ordinary family member. He can't make it for the tournament. He's busy with world affairs, so he's rather occupied."
Being non-professional, Kai has played in only three events in 2024 and maintains ranking 461 in AJGA listings.
Yet she's able to get advice from Tiger Woods, who is dating Vanessa.
"He stands as the top athlete globally," Kai expressed.
"Additionally, he's a superior human being. He advised me to go out there, enjoy myself, following the flow."
Kai will face several most prominent players in women's golf at the competition, featuring second-ranked the champion, British Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu.
Tournament organizers commented that involving Kai brings the sport to wider groups, specifically with younger fans.
The young star boasts substantial online presence and just introduced an exclusive fashion and living label.
The competition starts at late afternoon GMT.
