Trump’s granddaughter Kai to make LPGA debut

Kai Trump, granddaughter of US President Donald Trump, will make her LPGA Tour debut next month.

The Annika, which has a prize pool of $3.25 million (£2.45 million), will be played at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida on November 13 through November 16 with the sponsorship of the 18-year-old.

She has a commitment to play golf at the University of Miami in 2026 because she is Donald Trump’s eldest daughter.

Kai Trump stated in a statement that “my dream is to compete with the best players on the LPGA Tour.”

“This experience will be incredible.” As I prepare to make my LPGA Tour debut, I look forward to meeting and playing golf alongside many of my heroes and mentors.

At the Annika, she will compete against some of the biggest names in the sport, including Lilia Vu, England’s Champion, and world number two Nelly Korda, who won her third title last year.

Trump’s “wide following and reach are helping to introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans,” according to the LPGA.

According to Ricki Lasky, chief tour business and operations officer of the LPGA, sponsor invitations are a crucial way to highlight emerging talent and draw new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA.

We’re looking forward to seeing her progress further.
