The 18-year-old athlete, who is the granddaughter of Donald Trump, was granted a tournament invitation to compete at Florida's Annika event in the Sunshine State. The former president, a passionate golfer, operates numerous international courses and regularly competes against his granddaughter. "He's pretty good. I can't say much but we play tight competitions," she stated. She mentioned that her grandfather, who won't be present, advised her: "Just stay calm." "My grandpa basically told me to go out there and relax," she added. "To me, he's simply a regular grandfather. He can't make it for the tournament. He's busy with world affairs, making him somewhat preoccupied." As an amateur, Kai has participated in only three events this year and has the 461st position in the American Junior Golf Association rankings. Yet she can seek guidance from Tiger Woods, who is dating Vanessa. "He is the best player globally," Kai expressed. "Furthermore, he's an even better individual. He told me to go out there, have fun, adapting to whatever happens." The golfer will compete against several top competitors in the sport at the competition, such as second-ranked the champion, British golfer Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu. Tournament organizers stated that involving Kai exposes the sport to different demographics, particularly reaching youth audiences. The young star boasts substantial online presence and recently launched her own apparel and wellness label. She begins at 5:30 PM GMT.
