Donald Trump Jr.’s eldest daughter, Kai Trump, is preparing as she waits for her turn in the spotlight. She’s set to make her first appearance on the LPGA Tour next month! The rising young golf talent, a senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, recently picked up an eye-catching sponsor exemption. He’ll be teeing it up in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club, set for November 13-16. This makes for what is arguably one of the year’s strongest non-major fields.
Kai is currently No. 461 in the AJGA Girls rankings. That’s especially true given that she’s only competed in three events this year. Her commitment to excellence is definitely on display, as she’s already committed to meet the Ohio State Buckeyes in next year’s national championship at Miami Hurricanes Arena. Kai’s dreams go well past the college golf experience. With each shot, she dreams of one day competing with the world’s best on the LPGA Tour.

The Annika at Pelican Golf Club promises to be a real showstopper. This year, newly-minted WNBA star Caitlin Clark will join the pro-am on November 12th, informing their decision to come back for a second consecutive year. This high-profile event positioning the next generation of talent draws some of the best golfers — male or female — in the sport.
Beyond her golfing ambitions, Kai Trump has made impressive effects as an entrepreneur. She just recently opened a global apparel and lifestyle brand for female athletes, specifically to empower the next generation of women in sports. With over 6 million combined followers across four social media platforms, she is well-positioned to introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans.
It’s one of the LPGA’s critical tools in promoting new talent,” said LPGA Tour representative Ricki Lasky, underscoring the importance of sponsor exemptions.

As Kai gets set to make her debut, her story is dream shared by so many future young athletes. With her commitment to both golf and empowering others, she represents a new generation of golfers ready to make their mark on the sport. The highly competitive upcoming tournament will be the biggest stage in her short career thus far. It will introduce her to an incredible platform to inspire a wider audience with her love of the game.
