Kai Trump appeared in the first press conference of her young golf career ahead of her shock LPGA Tour debut this week.
Trump is the granddaughter of President Donald Trump and is eyeing a bright future on the course. She has already announced her commitment to the University of Miami, with her grandfather making his feelings very clear on her choice of school.
Before she has even enrolled in college and started the next step of her golf career, she will tee it up alongside the world’s top professionals as a sponsors invite to compete in The ANNIKA Driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. And she was given a very special opportunity to prepare before facing the world’s media.

Speaking at her press conference, Trump fielded some questions on her grandfather and his golf game, with the pair known to take to the course together regularly. However, Kai was bizarrely unwilling to reveal whether she has even beaten Donald at golf.
She was asked: “How do you do against gramps in golf?” and replied: “He’s pretty good. He’s pretty good.”
Asked “is he?” she added: “Yeah, he’s pretty good. We have some tight matches. Yeah, can’t say much. Yeah, we have some tight matches.”
Asked if she has yet beat him, she was unwilling to answer, replying: “I’ll leave that up to you to decide. I don’t know. We play a lot. We have a great time out there. We’re always on the same team as well.”

She later shared the advice he had given her ahead of the tournament, saying: “Well, I kind of – I know my game pretty well so I have a few people watch things over. I don’t really work with anyone right now at the moment.
“And my grandpa pretty much told me go out there and have fun. Just don’t get nervous. Try my best not to.”
Asked what it is like being the President’s granddaughter and if he would be attending her tournament, she said: “No. He’s not coming this weekend. He’s running the world right now, so a little busy. To me he’s just a normal grandpa. Always has been.
“It’s nothing – I would just say it’s like having a normal grandpa. There is nothing different I would say. It’s pretty cool obviously, but to me it’s just normal.”
