Kai Trump and Charlie Woods endure very different days at South Florida golf tournament
With two of their parents dating each other, all eyes were on the children of Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump at a junior golf tournament in Florida. Charlie Woods, Tiger's son, teed off in the 41st edition of the Nicklaus Junior Championship.- Also teeing off was Kai Trump, the daughter of Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr, and the granddaughter of President Donald Trump. The two-round tournament wrapped up on Tuesday afternoon at the private Tequesta Country Club - located north of the pro golf enclave of Jupiter. Charlie finished even-par for the tournament with a final round 69 (2-under) to place sixth in a field of 122 boys golfers. Meanwhile, Kai struggled to a final round score of a 3-over 74, putting her 17-over for the tournament and tied for 21st out of 32 golfers. Both Charlie and and Kai are in high school - with Kai already committed to play golf at the University of Miami as a part of their Class of 2030. Charlie, on the other hand, is starting to make a name for himself after a notable win on the junior golf circuit which saw his ranking jump from No. 606 to No. 14. It's been an eventful year for the Woods family after Tiger went public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump. That announcement came 10 days after exclusively broke the news that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife. Alongside two pictures of the loved-up couple, Woods wrote: 'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. 'At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.' The couple have the blessing of the President, with Trump himself saying he was happy when he learned that they had become an item. 'He told me about it, and I said, 'Tiger, that's good, that's good. I'm very, happy for both.' But they just let them both be happy. Let them both be happy. They're both great,' Trump said. The relationship has the blessing of the president - Trump paid tribute to the pair of them 'I love Tiger and I love Vanessa. He and I have a very special, very good relationship with Tiger. I played golf with him a couple of times over the last month, and he's a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.' Additionally, Tiger's mother, Kultida, passed away in February - a devastating blow as the matriarch of the Woods family died at the age of 80. 'At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.' Tiger himself has been absent from the course after suffering an injury to his Achilles as he prepared for the Masters back in April. However, he was recently seen without a brace on his knee riding a golf cart while watching Charlie.

Jimmy's Famous Seafood hosts 18th-annual golf tournament for scholarships, charities
Jimmy's Famous Seafood hosted its annual golf tournament on Sunday in Howard County to raise money for charitable causes. This year, the charitable contributions will be felt internationally. John Minadakis, co-owner of Jimmy's Famous Seafood, says some of the funds raised will go toward building a basketball court in Arkasa, Greece, the village where his father is from. "It's a growing sport in Greece thanks to the popularity of Giannis [Antetokounmpo]," Minadakis said. "Our village doesn't have a basketball court currently, so they asked me if I could help out." Over the years, Jimmy's Famous Seafood has become known for its community impact. Minadakis said more than $70,000 was raised this year to support their various scholarship funds and other causes. "It's very rewarding to know that this many people believe in your vision, what you're trying to do, and they are on the same path as you and have the same mindset as you. It's hard to put into words, honestly," he said. Giving back to the community For 18 years, the Jimmy Minadakis Memorial Tournament has brought people together to raise money for charity. John Minadakis said the annual golf fundraiser is the best day of the year. "Any kid would love to have their father's or their mother's legacy live on forever," Minadakis said. "To do so through scholarships and donating to charity is a kindness that he was known for. It is the ultimate testament to how much we loved our father." That kindness has resonated with the Baltimore community. "They really do an amazing job of philanthropy within the community," said former Ravens Super Bowl champ Qadry Ismail. "It makes you feel good, it makes you feel proud, to be a part of an event like today."
