This summer, Trump competed in junior and amateur tournaments on the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and the Srixon Medalist Tour on the South Florida PGA, highlighted by a third-place finish in July.
She’s set to be part of the Class of 2030 for the Hurricanes’ women’s golf team, which recently finished first place in the White Sands Invitational in October.
