Kai Trump shares her thoughts before teeing up at the Annika Driven
Kai Trump joined a press conference at the Pelican Golf Club to talk about her journey in golf before teeing up at the first professional tournament. Trump has been playing golf since she was two years old, thanks to her mother. Until now, Trump has been playing junior golf.
Hence, before her first LPGA tournament, Kai Trump attended a press conference and shared details about her golfing journey so far. She said (via ASAP Sports):
"I started when I was two years old playing golf. Started golf and tennis when I was two years old, and my mom brought us to the course every single weekend in the summer."
"I think what I loved most about golf is that it's challenging. You're never going to be 100% and there is always something to work on. I think that's kind of keeps on bringing me back to play golf and practice golf," she added.
Kai Trump previously played in the Arnold Palmer Invitational Junior, finishing 26th, and the Junior Invitational, finishing 24th.
