Kai Trump, Trump's Granddaughter, Joins LPGA Tour Event in Florida

Kai Trump, granddaughter of U.S. President Donald Trump, is set to make her LPGA debut this November at The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge event in Florida. Despite being ranked 461st in the U.S. Junior Golf Association and having modest tournament results, Kai's significant social media following—over six million across platforms—has played a key role in her receiving a sponsor exemption to the tournament, aiming to connect the LPGA with younger audiences. She is committed to play college golf at the University of Miami starting next year and has also ventured into fashion with her own label. Kai has gained media attention not only for her golf aspirations but also for her viral social media presence, including participation in popular TikTok challenges and a high-profile family background, with her mother dating golf legend Tiger Woods. The LPGA and tournament organizers see her involvement as a promotional opportunity to broaden the sport's appeal, despite some questions about her current competitive standing. Her participation adds intrigue to the upcoming event alongside top players and other crossover stars.
