Caitlin Clark is Set to Play In LPGA Pro-Am

Caitlin Clark is returning to action, but this time on the golf course. Clark is set to play in the pro-am next month at The Annika on the LPGA Tour. Her second season in the WNBA came to a halt after sustaining multiple injuries that ultimately sidelined her for the season and playoffs.

The pro-am is Nov. 12 at Pelican Golf Club and is open to the public. Clark, who had just finished her first season in the WNBA and was Rookie of the Year, brought out big crowds and a big buzz last year. The Annika is the penultimate tournament on the LPGA schedule. Clark has a corporate relationship with Gainbridge Insurance, the main sponsor.

Last year, she played alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam. Clark said, “I had an amazing time at The Annika last November and participating in the pro-am alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, two of the best in the game.”

It seems like a good sign for Indiana Fever fans and sports fans that Clark is playing sports again. She only played 13 games this WNBA season and was sidelined for the rest of the season and playoffs. Sorenstam said, “It was an honor to play in the pro-am with Caitlin last year. The crowds were amazing, and we are excited for her return to The Annika in November, and I look forward to having her back and continuing to introduce the great game of golf to the next generation.”

Final Thoughts

It seems wherever Clark goes, the crowds come with her, and the fans love seeing her play any sport. The Indiana Fever star is a self-proclaimed golf nut and has been working on her game for the last couple of years away from the WNBA season. She had some funny moments last year at the Annika, with topping a tee shot on one hole and nearly clipping a fan with another shot. Hopefully, her golf game has improved since last year.

However, despite maybe not being the best golfer in the world, she certainly enjoys it, and people love watching her play. The Annika once again should be a fun tournament to watch now that Clark will be a part of it again this year.
