President Donald Trump’s granddaughter will make her LPGA Tour debut next month at The Annika.

Kai Trump received a sponsor’s exemption on Tuesday to play in the event at Pelican Golf Club from Nov. 13-16 in Belleaire, Fla.

“My dream has been to compete with the best in the world on the LPGA Tour,” she said in a release. “This event will be an incredible experience. I look forward (to) meeting and competing against so many of my heroes and mentors in golf as I make my LPGA Tour debut.”

Kai Trump, 18, is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. She is a senior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach County and has committed to play at the University of Miami in 2026.

Kai Trump also recently started an apparel and lifestyle brand aimed at empowering young women in sports.

“Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA,” said Ricki Lasky, the LPGA’s chief tour business and operations officer. “Kai’s broad following and reach are helping introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans. We’re excited to see her take this next step in her journey.”
