Kai Trump, the 18-year-old granddaughter of former US President Donald Trump, attracts attention day by day. Young Kai is trying to build her story in the world of golf, hoping that in a few years she will enter the professional world and become an important figure. Looking at her recent results, it seems that Kai Trump is not yet as impressive as some expected, but it is still too early to make any judgments.
All in all, Kai Trump is certainly one of the most important social media figures in the world of golf, and her presence at important tournaments carries additional significance.
The organizers of The Annika LPGA Tour tournament understood this.
The tournament, which carries a prize of 3.25 million dollars, will be played from November 13 to 16, and it was Kai Trump who announced that she will make her debut at this event.
The 18-year-old will thus have the chance to play with popular women's golf figures such as Charley Hull, Nelly Korda and others.

Not long after her announcement, there were reactions of criticism from the public, who believe that the granddaughter of Donald Trump should not participate in this tournament, considering her current position in the world of golf.
Mike McGee reacts
Mike McGee, Annika Sorenstam's husband, in an interview with the media pointed out that the reactions of the public are completely crazy.
He believes that Kai can be the key to the success of this tournament because she will attract a large number of people.
"For anybody that says [she] doesn't deserve to be there, I think it's crazy," he said.
The idea is to highlight women's golf, and she's going to do it to a diverse crowd of millions more people that would tune in [who] otherwise wouldn't tune in."
Rick Lasky, chief business and operations officer of the LPGA Tour, shares the same sentiment, stressing that Kai is an important influence in the world of golf.
