The Pelican Golf Club is allowing Kai to play thanks to a sponsor invitation which is a rare exception. The Chief Tour Business and Operations Officer at the LPGA explained: “Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA. Kai’s broad following and reach are helping introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans. We’re excited to see her take this next step in her journey.”
The aspiring pro golfer often enjoys her downtime by playing the sport alongside her grandfather Donald. She shared: “I just don’t view it as him being the president. I view it as, he’s my grandpa. We’re gonna go out there and play golf. We play golf all the time. It’s nothing new,” per Fox News Digital.
