Trump's Family Member Gets Expert Advice from Golf Legend Woods Prior to LPGA First Appearance

Kai Trump can count on plenty of high-profile cheerleaders when she begins her professional golf debut later this week.

The 18-year-old athlete, who is the granddaughter of a former US president, was granted a sponsor's invitation to participate at Florida's Annika event in Florida.

The former president, someone who loves golf, owns multiple courses worldwide and often competes against his granddaughter.

"He's pretty good. I shouldn't elaborate but we have tight competitions," she stated.

The golfer shared that Trump, who won't be present, advised her: "Simply don't get nervous."

"My grandpa essentially advised me to go out there and enjoy myself," she explained.

"In my eyes, he's simply a normal grandpa. He's not attending this weekend. He's occupied with running the country, making him somewhat preoccupied."

Being non-professional, the golfer has participated in only three events recently and holds ranking 461 in AJGA rankings.

But she's able to receive tips from golf legend, who is dating Kai's mother.

"He is the greatest golfer in the world," the young golfer said.

"And he's a superior individual. He told me to go out there, enjoy myself, and go with whatever happens."

Kai will face several top competitors in professional golf at the competition, such as world number two the champion, England's golfer Hull, professional Thompson and last year's winner Lilia Vu.

The LPGA mentioned that involving Kai helps introduce golf to new audiences, especially with youth audiences.

Kai maintains substantial online presence and just introduced a personal fashion and living company.

Her first tee time at 17:30 GMT.
