Kai Trump has revealed she received advice from her grandfather, US President Donald Trump, and golf legend Tiger Woods ahead of her LPGA debut.
Trump is set to make her LPGA Tour debut in The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, live on Sky Sports from November 13.
She received a sponsor exemption to play in the event in Florida, the penultimate event on the LPGA schedule that typically has one of the strongest fields of the year outside the majors.
“I know my game pretty well so I have a few people watch things over. I don’t really work with anyone right now,” Trump said.
“And my grandpa pretty much told me to go out there and have fun. Just don’t get nervous. Try my best not to.”
