BELLEAIR, Fla. — The granddaughter of President Donald Trump will be making her LPGA debut next month in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club in Florida.
Kai Trump is a senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach County. She is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and has committed to play for the University of Miami’s golf team next year. The Annika is the penultimate tournament on the LPGA Tour schedule and typically has one of the strongest fields of the year except for the majors.
Trump says she’s thrilled to play an LPGA event and says it’s her dream to compete against the best players in women’s golf.
Gender testing for Olympics
NEW YORK — With 100 days to go until the Winter Olympics, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has begun the complicated and expensive task of identifying female skiers and snowboarders who need to take gender tests before they arrive in Italy.
The sport’s international federation adopted a rule last month requiring athletes who want to compete in women’s events to take what’s called an SRY gene test, which identifies a Y chromosome.
It’s the same test that track and boxing federations adopted earlier in the year. The USOPC’s chief medical officer, Jonathan Finnoff, said the experience in getting athletes from those sports tested in a short window will make this project run more smoothly.
