Working on her rehab, Caitlin Clark is ready to play Golf at the Annika Pro-Am, which might become her annual participation event. Though Clark prioritizes US basketball in her schedule, a Nine-hole event is something that the Fever guard is excited to join.
Even though the player is looking to get some action on the golf course to distract herself from basketball, her competitive instinct urged her to choose a champion partner, which will give her an upper hand in the competition. Using her Gold Partner Invite, the former Iowa star chose a former All-American and reigning NCAA champion to join her at the event.

While the former All-American was in the Zoom interview, the Interviewer made the announcement by playing CC’s recorded video.
In the video Clark said, “Congratulations on winning the national championship with your teammates at Northwestern. I want to personally invite you to join me at the Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican as the recipient of a sponsor invitation courtesy of Gainbridge… Can’t wait to see you in November.”

Caitlin Clark Speaks Highly About Golf
While the player is a fan of the sport and uses it to give herself a mind of basketball, she has the utmost respect for Golf. Even during her college days, the star spoke positively about Golf, saying,
“You can clear your mind, do something you really love, and have the peace and quiet of just your friends around or even just yourself. I love being able to escape reality for a little bit.”
While she played in the 2024 edition of the Pro-Am tournament, she might have company in the 2025 edition, as her Fever teammates, Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull, offered to help Clark at the event.
The trio became sweethearts of the WNBA fanbase and could also take over the golf course. But looking at the former Iowa star’s plans to win the title, she might look to avoid any distractions.
