The rising star boasts substantial online following
The young golfer can count on plenty of well-known supporters when she makes her LPGA debut this Thursday.
This teenage golfer, who is related to a former US president, was granted a special exemption to compete at the Annika tournament in Florida.
The former president, an avid golfer, operates several international courses and frequently matches against Kai.
"He's pretty good. I shouldn't elaborate but we have some close matches," she stated.
Kai explained that Trump, who cannot attend, told her: "Simply avoid anxiety."
"He basically told me to go out there and relax," she explained.
"In my eyes, he's just a normal grandpa. He won't be there this weekend. He's focused on presidential duties, making him somewhat preoccupied."
Being non-professional, the golfer has participated in just three tournaments this year and holds ranking 461 in the American Junior Golf Association listings.
However she can seek guidance from Tiger Woods, romantically involved with Kai's mother.
"He represents the greatest golfer worldwide," Kai stated.
"Additionally, he's a superior individual. He suggested me to play, have fun, and go with whatever happens."
She'll challenge multiple the biggest names in the sport at this tournament, such as world number two Nelly Korda, British golfer Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.
Officials stated that Kai's presence brings golf to new audiences, specifically among youth audiences.
Kai boasts a massive following and has started an exclusive clothing and lifestyle brand.
She begins at 5:30 PM GMT.
