The former president's Family Member Receives Expert Tips from Tiger Woods Prior to Professional Golf First Appearance
This young athlete has impressive online presence
Kai Trump will have multiple high-profile supporters when she begins her professional golf debut later this week.
The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of a former US president, received a sponsor's invitation to play at the Annika competition in Florida.
Her grandfather, a passionate golfer, possesses numerous courses worldwide and often plays against his granddaughter.
"He's quite skilled. I can't say much but we play competitive games," she stated.
Kai explained that Trump, who won't be present, counseled her: "Just avoid anxiety."
"He essentially advised me to compete and relax," she explained.
"To me, he's just a regular grandfather. He won't be there for the tournament. He's occupied with running the country, making him somewhat preoccupied."
While still amateur, the golfer has competed in just three tournaments this year and has position 461 in AJGA rankings.
Yet she's able to receive tips from 15-time major champion, who is dating Kai's mother.
"He stands as the best player globally," Kai expressed.
"Furthermore, he's a more impressive individual. He advised me to go out there, relax, adapting to whatever happens."
She'll challenge several most prominent players in the sport at the Annika, such as second-ranked Nelly Korda, England's Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and last year's winner champion Vu.
The LPGA mentioned that her participation exposes the sport to different demographics, especially reaching the next generation.
The young star maintains a massive following and just introduced her own clothing and lifestyle brand.
The competition starts at 17:30 GMT.
