The penultimate LPGA Tour event of the season, The Annika is one of its biggest, for several reasons.
It inevitably gets plenty of coverage thanks to its high-profile host, 10-time Major winner Annika Sorenstam. Meanwhile, it has one of the largest purses of the LPGA Tour season, at $3.25m.
That’s not all, though. Because of its place in the schedule, the tournament also offers the last opportunity for some players to force their way into the top 60 and ties of the Race to CME Globe and the field for the season finale, the CME Group Tour Championship.
Kai Trump, granddaughter of US President Donald Trump, makes her LPGA Tour debut at the event thanks to a sponsor’s invite.

However, she is certainly not there to make up the numbers. So, who is the caddie she will be using at the tournament to help her perform to the best of her ability?
Intriguingly, Trump has turned to Allan Kournikova. If that name sounds familiar, it could be because he’s the half-brother of former tennis star Anna Kournikova.
He has a golf background, too. For example, as a seven-year-old, he starred alongside Alexa Pano in 2013 Netflix documentary The Short Game. He also won the AJGA Pinehurst Junior in 2019.
