MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (WBTW) — A granddaughter of President Donald Trump is scheduled to compete in this weekend’s 10th annual Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship at TPC Myrtle Beach, tournament organizers confirmed on Thursday.
Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr., will be among 90 boys and girls competing in the 54-hole championship. Thirty-five of the competitors are in the Rolex AJGA rankings, including Charlie Woods, the son of golf legend and 15-time major champion Tiger Woods.
Also included in the field are two players representing the Grand Strand, Madison Messimer and Aiden Aguilar. Both are set to graduate from high school this year, Messimer from Myrtle Beach High School and Aguilar from Carolina Forest.
Messimer has signed her letter of intent to play collegiate golf at the University of Tennessee, and Aguilar has committed to play for Lander University.
Dustin Johnson, a Coastal Carolina University alum and the tournament’s namesake, has shown a long-time commitment to the game through his foundation, which has donated more than $500,000 to junior golf. He also has a golf school on the TPC Myrtle Beach campus.
