WNBA Star Caitlin Clark Returns to Golf Spotlight with Appearance at LPGA’s The Annika Pro-am
Caitlin Clark, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, has announced her return to the golf world, marking a significant comeback for the Indiana Fever guard. As part of the LPGA Tour's prestigious The Annika pro-am event, scheduled for November 12 in Belleair, Florida, Clark will once again trade her basketball cleats for golf shoes.
Last year, Clark had a taste of success on the golf course, participating in The Annika pro-am alongside two-time major champion Nelly Korda and legendary golfer Annika Sorenstam. Her experience was nothing short of remarkable, earning praise from Sorenstam herself, who described Clark's passion for golf as "fun to witness firsthand."
Clark has been open about the challenges she faced during her 2024 WNBA season, which saw her sidelined by injuries and averaging just 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per game in 13 appearances. Despite these setbacks, the Fever managed to secure their first playoff series victory in a decade.
This November, Clark will return to Tampa to compete alongside some of the world's best female golfers at The Annika pro-am, which boasts a $3.25 million purse and features 72 players competing for the coveted title. The event promises to be an exciting spectacle, with Clark undoubtedly looking to make a statement on the course.
With her incredible basketball skills seemingly eclipsed by her passion for golf, Clark has once again demonstrated her determination to excel in both sports. It will be fascinating to see how she fares against top-level female golfers this time around.
