So, a kissing of the ring?

I wonder what they received in return?

I have met a few professional women golfers. They're very gracious; happy to indulge the fans for autographs. I do have to wonder if a Trump can operate in that environment.

She's got the Trump sneer.

On golf alone, the invite is surprising. Trump is currently ranked No. 461 in the American Junior Golf Association standings and has only three events to her name this year " finishing 29th, 24th, and 26th. But the truth is, plenty of junior golfers with stronger results won't come anywhere near an LPGA tee box this year " because they don't have six million followers or a famous grandfather. If Kai plays well and makes the cut, she'll silence a lot of critics and prove she belongs. If not, her debut will still deliver what sponsors really want " eyeballs, engagement, and headlines.

I like how she stole Travis Kelce's logo for her line of sportswear.

An unqualified person got a job when others were clearly more deserving? Waiting for all of those who claim this is the reason they oppose DEI to speak out against Trump being included.

Kai Trumpf shilling over-priced cheap clothing and getting into the LPGA tournament is just another example of "falling up," like JD Vance, Kashyap Pramod "I'll Have the Butter Chicken" Patel, or Empty Suit Marco Rubio.

Swimming in a sea of corruption.

Hope you packed a lunch.

Annika is just paying Trump back for the Medal of Freedom he gave her the day after the Jan 6th riots. Lost all respect for Sorenstam and Gary Player for not cancelling/not showing up. Trump has given so many awards to golfers at the White House - it,s comical. He does this in order to promote himself and his self interest in getting access to golfers to polish his golf association/future products. BTW Trump's classless comments about Arnold Palmer show s his real respect for golf's greatest players.

That's the big thing. She may well be the white girl "Tiger".

No stress at all. Will Lewzer be there to personally kick her balls back on to the fairways?

That would probably be the best thing for women's sports that could come out of the Trump Administration.

If you tear down enough Federal buildings in D.C. and use a little Eminent Domain, you could put up a pretty decent golf course.

it's pretty common

Process: Players, which can include established pros, rising stars, or local amateurs, can request an exemption from the tournament director.
Purpose: Exemptions are a business tool for sponsors and hosts to create buzz, attract sponsors, and drive ticket sales.
