US President Donald Trump’s eldest grandchild, Kai Trump, has been handed a sponsor’s invitation to The Annika on the LPGA Tour next month.
A University of Miami commit, Trump is set to begin her college journey in Fall 2026.
For the time being, she is a high school senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida – the same establishment which Charlie Woods attends – and is competing in junior and amateur tournaments on the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and the Srixon Medalist Tour in the South Florida PGA section.

Ricki Lasky, LPGA Chief Tour Business and Operations Officer, said: “Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA.
