Trump's Family Member Receives Professional Advice from Tiger Woods Ahead of Professional Golf Debut
This young athlete has substantial social media following
The young golfer can count on multiple prominent backers as she starts her LPGA debut this Thursday.
The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of a former US president, received a special exemption to play at the Annika competition in the Sunshine State.
Her grandfather, someone who loves golf, owns numerous international courses and often matches against his granddaughter.
"He's pretty good. I can't say much but we play some close matches," she stated.
Kai explained that Trump, who won't be present, advised her: "Just don't get nervous."
"My grandpa basically told me to compete and have fun," she added.
"To me, he's simply an ordinary family member. He's not attending this weekend. He's busy with presidential duties, so he's somewhat preoccupied."
Being non-professional, Kai has participated in a mere three competitions recently and has position 461 in AJGA rankings.
But she's able to seek guidance from golf legend, romantically involved with her mother.
"He represents the best player globally," Kai stated.
"Furthermore, he's an even better person. He told me to go out there, relax, and go with the flow."
She'll challenge several the biggest names in professional golf at this tournament, including second-ranked the champion, England's Charley Hull, professional Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu.
Officials mentioned that Kai's presence brings the sport to different demographics, particularly reaching the next generation.
Kai boasts millions of followers and recently launched her own clothing and lifestyle company.
Her first tee time at 17:30 GMT.
