WNBA star Caitlin Clark will once again put down a basketball and pick up a golf club later this fall. The Indiana Fever guard is scheduled to compete in another LPGA Tour event next month – the Annika pro-am, organizers confirmed.
The Annika 2025 pro-am returns to Belleair, Florida and begins November 12. LPGA Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam will also return to hosting duties this year.
The Annika tournament marks the final full regular season event of this season. The tournament has a purse of $3.25 million.

Clark reflected on his experience of 2024, describing it as “an incredible time.”
“I had an amazing time at The Annika last November and competed in the pro-am alongside Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, two of the best in the game,” Clark said in a statement.

“I am honored to be an ambassador for a Gainbridge company committed to elevating women’s sports. I look forward to returning to Tampa in November to compete in the Pro-Am with the world’s best golfers.”

After earning 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year honors, injuries sidelined Clark for much of the 2025 season. She averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per game in 13 appearances last season.
Despite Clark’s absence, the Fever managed to win their first playoff series in a decade, defeating the Atlanta Dream in the first round. The Aces then defeated the Fever in the semifinals before winning their third championship in four years.

Sorenstam recalled his time playing alongside Clark last year and praised the NCAA Division I all-time leader’s “passion for golf.”
“It was an honor to play the pro-am with Caitlin last year. The crowd was incredible and we are excited for her return to The Annika in November,” Sorenstam said in a statement. “She added a great dynamic to our event, and her passion for golf and competitiveness was fun to witness for myself. I look forward to seeing her again and continuing to introduce the great game of golf to the next generation.”
