- On Nov. 13, 2025, Haeran Ryu shot 6-under 64 to lead The Annika at Pelican Golf Club, while Kai Trump carded a 13-over 83 in her LPGA debut and finished last in the 108-player field.
- Playing on a sponsor exemption, 18-year-old amateur Kai Trump made her LPGA debut as Haeran Ryu ran off four straight birdies on Nos. 4-7 in breezy afternoon conditions at Pelican Golf Club.
- Trump struggled on the greens and carded multiple bogeys and two doubles, hitting 7 of 18 greens and needing 36 putts, though she said it was "pretty cool because I know I hit it far...", said Trump.
- Trump's round drew an unusual security presence and massive gallery at Pelican, with more than 200 people around the 10th tee and eight to 10 Secret Service agents trailing her; she will tee off for Round 2 at 8:17am ET on Friday.
- The tournament feeds into the Race to CME Globe with a $2 million prize at stake next week, where defending champion Nelly Korda opened with a 71 and Grace Kim of Australia shot a 65.
