The former president's Granddaughter Receives Expert Tips from Tiger Woods Prior to LPGA First Appearance

The young golfer will have multiple prominent cheerleaders when she begins her professional golf debut this Thursday.

The 18-year-old athlete, who is connected to a former US president, was granted a special exemption to participate at the Annika tournament in Florida.

The former president, someone who loves golf, operates several courses worldwide and regularly competes against Kai.

"He's fairly competent. I shouldn't elaborate but we play some close matches," she mentioned.

She mentioned that Trump, who won't be present, told her: "Just don't get nervous."

"My grandpa basically advised me to go out there and enjoy myself," she explained.

"From my perspective, he's simply a regular grandfather. He won't be there for the tournament. He's busy with world affairs, making him quite busy."

Being non-professional, Kai has competed in a mere three competitions recently and maintains ranking 461 in the American Junior Golf Association standings.

However she can receive tips from Tiger Woods, in a relationship with Kai's mother.

"He is the top athlete in the world," Kai expressed.

"And he's a more impressive human being. He advised me to go out there, relax, adapting to whatever happens."

She'll challenge multiple the biggest names in the sport at the Annika, including second-ranked Nelly Korda, England's Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and last year's winner champion Vu.

Officials mentioned that Kai's presence exposes golf to wider groups, especially among the next generation.

The young star boasts substantial online presence and has started an exclusive fashion and living label.

Her first tee time at 17:30 GMT.
