The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be connected to Donald Trump, received a sponsor's invitation to participate at Florida's Annika event in the Sunshine State. The former president, a passionate golfer, owns multiple courses worldwide and regularly plays against his granddaughter. "He's fairly competent. I can't say much but we play tight competitions," she stated. The golfer shared that Trump, unable to come, told her: "Simply stay calm." "My grandpa essentially suggested to compete and have fun," she continued. "In my eyes, he's simply an ordinary family member. He can't make it this weekend. He's busy with world affairs, so he's quite busy." While still amateur, Kai has competed in only three events recently and has position 461 in AJGA rankings. Yet she can seek guidance from 15-time major champion, in a relationship with Vanessa. "He is the greatest golfer worldwide," the young golfer said. "Additionally, he's a superior individual. He told me to go out there, relax, following the flow." She'll challenge multiple top competitors in professional golf at the Annika, such as world number two the champion, England's golfer Hull, Lexi Thompson and last year's winner champion Vu. Officials commented that her participation exposes golf to wider groups, particularly among younger fans. The social media influencer boasts substantial online presence and recently launched her own apparel and wellness company. The competition starts at late afternoon GMT.
