How to watch Kai Trump’s LPGA debut at The Annika

Kai Trump got advice from her grandfather and her mom’s golfer boyfriend ahead of making her LPGA debut at The Annika outside Tampa, Florida this week. They just happen to be U.S. President Donald Trump and Tiger Woods, respectively. It is why there is perhaps no 18-year-old better prepared to actually enjoy this moment than her.

Kai Trump is one three invited amateurs in the field at The Annika in 2025, on the heels of officially signing to play college golf for the University of Miami beginning next year. The oldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his former wife, Vanessa, is known as a golf influencer with growing reach on social media since entering the national spotlight as a speaker at the 2024 Republican National Convention on behalf of her grandfather. A recent video of her playing golf with President Trump generated more than 3 million views.

Her golf game will be a focus for fans this week because of her last name, with a pro-am on Wednesday and then Thursday’s first-round tee time. Trump told reporters earlier this week that Woods suggested she ‘have fun and just go with the flow.’ Annika Sorenstam, the LPGA legend and namesake of the event, played nine holes with Trump on Monday during a practice round and wanted to make sure Trump enjoyed herself given the amount of attention her appearance is generating.

‘I’m sure we can all relate what it’s like to get criticism here and there, but she gets it a thousand times,’ Sorenstam told reporters earlier this week. ‘So that’s why I just want to give her a break, come out here and have fun. We want her to feel like family here and I want her to feel welcome. I mean, give this girl a chance, right? I think that’s our responsibility this week.’

Here’s what to know about Kai Trump’s LPGA debut at The Annika, including tee times for the pro-am and opening rounds, a tournament schedule, how to watch and what Trump said in advance of playing with the world’s best golfers in a professional event for the first time:

What Kai Trump said about LPGA debut at The Annika

‘I’m going to learn a lot no matter what happens,’ Kai Trump said earlier this week, according to the Palm Beach Post. ‘I’m going to take a lot away from it. To be inside the ropes with them playing with (the best players), learning what kind of shots they hit, what do they do on the course.’
