US President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, will make her LPGA Tour debut next month.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 18-year-old has received a sponsor’s exemption to play at The Annika, which has a prize pool of $3.25m (\u00a32.45m) and is scheduled to be held at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida from 13 to 16 November. <\/p>\n

She is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr and has committed to play golf at the University of Miami in 2026.<\/p>\n

“My dream has been to compete with the best in the world on the LPGA Tour,” Kai Trump said in a statement. <\/p>\n

“This event will be an incredible experience. I look forward to meeting and competing against so many of my heroes and mentors in golf as I make my LPGA Tour debut.”<\/p>\n

She will compete against some of the biggest names in the sport at the Annika, including world number two Nelly Korda, who won her third title<\/a> in the event last year, England’s Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.<\/p>\n

The LPGA said Trump’s “broad following and reach are helping introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans”. <\/p>\n

“Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA,” said Ricki Lasky, LPGA’s chief tour business and operations officer.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to see her take this next step in her journey.”<\/p>\n
