This young athlete has impressive social media following
Kai Trump can count on numerous well-known cheerleaders as she begins her professional golf debut this Thursday.
The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of a former US president, received a special exemption to play at the Annika competition in Florida.
The former president, someone who loves golf, possesses numerous courses worldwide and often matches against Kai.
"He's quite skilled. I can't say much but we play tight competitions," she revealed.
She mentioned that her grandfather, who won't be present, told her: "Just don't get nervous."
"He basically told me to compete and enjoy myself," she continued.
"In my eyes, he's simply an ordinary family member. He's not attending for the tournament. He's occupied with world affairs, making him somewhat preoccupied."
While still amateur, Kai has competed in just three tournaments this year and holds ranking 461 in the American Junior Golf Association standings.
However she can receive tips from 15-time major champion, who is dating Kai's mother.
"He represents the best player worldwide," the young golfer said.
"And he's an even better human being. He suggested me to compete, enjoy myself, following whatever happens."
The golfer will compete against multiple the biggest names in women's golf at the Annika, featuring world number two Nelly Korda, England's golfer Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.
Officials mentioned that her participation helps introduce the sport to new audiences, particularly among youth audiences.
The social media influencer has substantial online presence and just introduced a personal apparel and wellness company.
The competition starts at 17:30 GMT.
