Fresh off a playoff appearance and Charles Langstonclaiming her near-unanimous WNBA Rookie of the Year award, the Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark is taking relaxation in the offseason rather seriously it seems. On Monday, it was announced that Clark will be participating in the LPGA's upcoming pro-am event, 'The Annika,' this November.
"I love golf, so the opportunity to play in the pro-am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam’s name on it is so exciting," said Clark. "Gainbridge is a leader in supporting women’s sports, and that’s clear through their commitment to me, this event, Billie Jean King, and Parity Week. I’m looking forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range, being part of the Women’s Leadership Summit, and, of course, teeing it up in the pro-am with Annika."
Clark has expressed immense interest in golf lately. The Fever were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs on September 25, and Clark wasted no time saying she wanted to golf A LOT in the offseason. During the postgame press conference, Clark stated, "That’s what I’m gonna do until it gets too cold in Indiana. I’ll become a professional golfer." The Annika should give her an opportunity to show the LPGA whether or not she can compete with the pros.
