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.
Trump also recently started an apparel and lifestyle brand aimed at empowering young women in sports.
She also accompanied her grandfather to Bethpage Black golf course in New York last month for the opening day of the Ryder Cup tournament, where Europe defeated the US.
"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."
