The 18-year-old athlete, who happens to be the granddaughter of a former US president, was granted a special exemption to play at the Annika tournament in the Sunshine State. The former president, a passionate golfer, possesses several golf courses and often matches against Kai. "He's fairly competent. I can't reveal details but we play tight competitions," she mentioned. Kai explained that her grandfather, who cannot attend, advised her: "Just don't get nervous." "My grandpa basically told me to go out there and enjoy myself," she continued. "In my eyes, he's just an ordinary family member. He's not attending for the tournament. He's occupied with world affairs, making him rather occupied." Being non-professional, the golfer has played in a mere three competitions this year and has ranking 461 in the American Junior Golf Association rankings. Yet she's able to get advice from Tiger Woods, who is dating her mother. "He represents the greatest golfer in the world," the young golfer said. "And he's an even better person. He suggested me to play, relax, following whatever happens." She'll challenge several the biggest names in the sport at the Annika, including second-ranked the champion, British Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu. Officials commented that Kai's presence exposes the sport to different demographics, specifically with younger fans. The social media influencer has millions of followers and recently launched a personal apparel and wellness brand. She begins at late afternoon GMT.
