Kai Trump has gotten some pretty good advice ahead of her LPGA debut.
The first one is from her grandpa, President Donald Trump, and golf legend Tiger Woods, according to Fox News.
Kai Trump, 18, received a sponsorship exemption for The ANNIKA, which is held Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, this week.
The sponsorship exemption is given to emerging golfers to showcase their talents.
Grandpa Trump, she said, kept his advice short and sweet.
âGo out there and have fun. Just donât get nervous,â she said.
Woods is dating Kaiâs mother, Vanessa, Don Trump Jr.âs ex-wife. Kai called Woods âthe best golfer in the entire worldâ and took his advice to heart.
âI mean, he is the best golfer in the entire world. I would say that. And even better person,â she said. âHe told me to go out there and have fun and just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.â
Trump received praise after she played a practice round with Annika Sorenstam, the tournamentâs host and LPGA legend in her own right.
âI was talking to her about my tendencies and said, âWhat are your tendencies?â And she went off, âthis is what I do, and Iâm trying to do that.â Sheâs really interested in just getting better and learning about her swingâŚâ she said, according to the Golf Channel. âJust the excitement of learning and getting better, I thought that was pretty cool. I was trying to remember if I was 18, and I would play with somebody, if I would dare to ask a question. I probably wouldâve been super quiet.â
âGoing out there and playing a big course and environment like this, Iâm sure sheâs used to a lot of people looking at her and analyzing everything,â Sorenstam continued. âOne thing thatâs different this year is Iâve never seen so many Secret Service people around here; I feel super safe, thatâs another thing. ⌠I just donât know how she does it honestly. To be 18 years old and hear all the comments, she must be super tough on the inside. Iâm sure we can all relate what itâs like to get criticism here and there, but she gets it a thousand times. So, thatâs why I just want to give her a break, come out here and have fun. We want her to feel like family here, and I want her to feel welcome.
âI mean, give this girl a chance, right?â
