Teenager receives sponsor exemption for The Annika
Kai Trump is due to play college golf at Miami
Donald Trump’s granddaughter will be taking a detour on her way to playing college golf at the University of Miami – Kai Trump will make her LPGA Tour debut next month.
The 18-year-old received a sponsor exemption on Tuesday to play in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club from 13 to 16 November, the penultimate event on the LPGA schedule. The tournament, which has a prize purse of $3.25m, is prestigious and typically has one of the strongest fields of the year outside the majors.
“My dream has been to compete with the best in the world on the LPGA Tour,” Trump said in a release. “This event will be an incredible experience. I look forward meeting and competing against so many of my heroes and mentors in golf as I make my LPGA Tour debut.”
