Kai Trump, the teenage granddaughter of President Trump, will make her LPGA debut next month.
The 18-year-old, a YouTube star who is committed to playing golf at the University of Miami, revealed she has received a sponsor’s exemption to play in The Annika in Belleair, Florida.
The event, which runs from November 10-16 and is hosted by golf great Annika Sorenstam, will also feature basketball superstar Caitlin Clark.
‘It has been a dream of mine to compete at the professional level and I would like to thank the Pelican Golf Club for the invitation,’ Trump announced on social media.
‘I’m looking forward to teeing it up and competing with the best players in the world at one of the most premier venues on tour.
Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump Jr and his ex-wife Vanessa, who is now in a relationship with golf great Tiger Woods.
