The rising star boasts considerable social media following
The young golfer will have plenty of high-profile backers as she begins her professional golf debut this Thursday.
This teenage golfer, who happens to be related to Donald Trump, obtained a special exemption to participate at the Annika tournament in Florida.
Her grandfather, someone who loves golf, possesses multiple golf courses and often plays against his granddaughter.
"He's pretty good. I shouldn't elaborate but we have tight competitions," she revealed.
Kai explained that her grandfather, who won't be present, advised her: "Simply avoid anxiety."
"He practically told me to compete and relax," she continued.
"From my perspective, he's just a normal grandpa. He won't be there for the tournament. He's occupied with running the country, so he's quite busy."
While still amateur, Kai has participated in just three tournaments in 2024 and has position 461 in AJGA standings.
But she can seek guidance from 15-time major champion, in a relationship with Vanessa.
"He stands as the greatest golfer in the world," Kai expressed.
"And he's a superior person. He told me to play, have fun, adapting to the flow."
She'll challenge some of most prominent players in women's golf at this tournament, including world number two the champion, England's Charley Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.
Tournament organizers commented that involving Kai helps introduce the sport to different demographics, particularly with younger fans.
The young star maintains substantial online presence and has started a personal apparel and wellness company.
She begins at late afternoon GMT.
