Kai Trump, 18, Set for LPGA Debut at The Annika After Advice From Tiger Woods and President Trump

Her entry comes via a limited sponsor invitation to the $3.25 million event.

Overview

  • At a pre-tournament news conference, she said President Trump told her to “go out, have fun and don't get nervous.”
  • She said Tiger Woods, her mother's partner, urged her to enjoy the experience and she described him as the best golfer and “an even better person.”
  • The Annika awarded her one of three sponsor invitations, a tool often used to promote women's golf.
  • She arrives as a junior-ranked competitor with more than nine million social-media followers and an AJGA listing of No. 461.
  • Her record includes a runner-up finish on the Hurricane Junior Tour, and she said the president will not attend because he is busy governing.
