Trump, 18, announced in January that he underwent surgery. The announcement came after she made her LPGA Tour debut at The Annika in November.
“Today I underwent left wrist surgery to address injuries to the stabilizing tissues of my ECU tendon and damage to my fibrocartilage complex,” he wrote in a social media post. “The surgery was successfully performed at Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute by Dr. Thomas Graham, Chief of Jefferson Orthopedics. I look forward to my rehabilitation in the coming months and am excited to be able to play golf without pain.”
