Trump’s Granddaughter Kai Making LPGA Tour Debut This Week

From the White House to the Golf Course

The passion for golf runs deep in the Trump family, with former US President Donald Trump being an avid player himself. Now, his granddaughter Kai is set to follow in his footsteps and make her professional debut on the LPGA Tour.

Kai Trump: The New Face of American Golf

At just 18 years old, Kai Trump will tee off this week at the Annika Drive by Gainbridge tournament at the Pelican Golf Club in Florida. The event, named after legendary golfer Annika Sorenstam, is a prestigious stop on the LPGA Tour.

Kai’s invitation to the tournament comes courtesy of event sponsor Dan Doyle, owner of the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans. Adding to the star power, Kai will have former youth golf promise and Anna Kournikova’s younger brother, Allan Kournikova, as her caddie.

Golf royalty in the making

Kai’s golfing journey is nothing short of remarkable. She attends the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, and has amassed an impressive following on social media, with nearly nine million followers across her YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X accounts. Her videos, shot in locations like the Oval Office and on Air Force One, have helped her become a golf star in the making.

In an interesting twist, Kai’s mother, Vanessa Trump, made her relationship with 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods public in March. Both Kai and Woods attended the same private high school in Palm Beach.

Looking ahead, Kai has committed to the University of Miami, where she’ll play for the Hurricanes golf team. Despite a challenging debut at the Junior Invitational last March, where she finished 22 strokes behind the leader, Kai’s inclusion in this week’s field signals her potential as a future LPGA star.
